About Aypril + The Heretical Heart™
You were never meant to contort yourself into someone else's strategy.
If you've ever felt like your business demands you shrink, edit, or perform just to be taken seriously, and your body said absolutely not, you're my kind of human.
I'm Aypril Porter. Human Design Guide. Published author. Professional pattern-breaker. And someone who wore a pink tutu, green army boots, and liberty spikes to prom and was told she ruined it.
She didn't. She made it unforgettable.
That energy is still here. Just with better boundaries, deeper wisdom, and a lot more clarity about what I'm actually here to do.
What I Actually Do
I help entrepreneurs, healers, helpers, and creatives see what they can't see from inside their own lives.
Not by handing them another framework to follow. Not by telling them to think more positively or want it harder. By looking at their Human Design chart and showing them exactly where their design and their behavior are working against each other, and what shifts when they stop trying to operate as someone they were never built to be.
I've been in this work for over a decade. I've sat with people in grief. I've trained as a death doula. I've watched what happens when someone finally stops performing and starts telling the truth about what they actually want.
It changes everything. Not all at once. But in the way that actually lasts.
One of the ways I've brought this into the world differently is through The Heretical Frequency — a Human Design report I built entirely around music. Because some of the deepest deconditioning doesn't start with a journal prompt. It starts with a song that reaches the part of you that analysis never could. Each playlist comes with a question to hold. You can journal it, voice memo it, talk it out with a friend, or just let it live in the back of your mind while the music does its thing. I looked around before I created it. Nothing else like it existed. It still doesn't.
This is not cookie-cutter Human Design. I'm not going to hand you a printout of your type and tell you to wait for someone to knock on your door to invite you into your own life. We're going to look at your actual life, your actual business, your actual stuck places, and find what's really going on underneath.
Why I Take This Seriously
I'm ICF-certified, and that matters to me because the coaching industry has a lot of people hanging out a shingle with no real training or accountability. A professional standard isn't a vanity credential. It's a commitment to doing this work with integrity.
I'm also a published author. My Human Design parenting book has reached thousands of families and continues to. That work taught me something I bring into every session: the same conditioning patterns that shape how we parent are the ones quietly running our businesses. The deconditioning work is the same work, just in a different context.
And the grief and death doula training? That's in everything I do. I know what it costs to carry something that isn't yours. I know what it feels like to finally put it down.
That capacity isn't accidental. I have an 8th house Stellium, sun included, and a 29th degree moon sitting at the exact threshold between what's ending and what hasn't begun yet. I don't just tolerate the underworld. I'm built for it.
Some people come to this work curious. That's beautiful and that's welcome.
But most of the people who find me are standing at a threshold. Something is ending. Something they can't quite name yet is beginning. And they need someone who won't flinch at what's in between.
The anger you've been swallowing for twenty years. The grief that doesn't have a clean story. The identity that no longer fits but you don't know who you are without it.
Bring it. There is nothing wrong with you for having it.
This is what holding the hard stuff with heart actually means.
Who This Is For
Entrepreneurs who are sharp, experienced, and exhausted from trying to fix something that was never broken. Just misaligned.
People who lead with their values and can't figure out why that keeps feeling like a liability instead of an asset.
Anyone who has done the mindset work, the strategy work, the inner work, and is still sitting in the parking lot wondering why nothing has shifted.
You don't need to know anything about Human Design to work with me. You just need the question that's been sitting with you.
If You Found Me Through the Parenting Work
You're still home. The Human Design Parenting Book and Workbook are still alive because the journey to reclaiming your own design often starts with understanding how you were shaped as a child. If that's where you came in, welcome. We're just going deeper now.
This is deconditioning as rebellion. Business as truth.
And a homecoming to yourself.

These books are great for parents navigating how to raise their children, how to reparent themselves, and even how to support their relationship with their parents.
“Aypril doesn’t give you more strategy. She sees the pattern underneath your strategy.
In one session, she helped me untangle what I’d been overcomplicating for months. I stopped second guessing myself. I stopped over-explaining. I finally trusted my own design.
My business feels like mine again.”
