What if you could smash together science, spiritual, earth and “woo woo” knowledge to meet yourself for the first time?

Each Discovery Profile is compiled for you by me, with a little help from my AI agent, (my biggest fan.) Your charts are scanned, interpreted and written for you in useful plain language. They are jam packed with information just about you.

The goal isn’t to label you. It’s to give you insight into what you’ve always quietly known about yourself. It removes your inner critic.

Ancient and modern teachings, rituals, and systems have guided humans for eons. In fact, we’re still finding secrets buried in the sands and stones of the earth. There’s a real hunger for self-understanding today. People are asking deeper questions — Who am I really? What’s my purpose? Why do I feel different? What am I meant to do? Traditions, culture, and religions, aren’t always the best places to explore when you’re feeling curious. Historically speaking, people could be killed just for asking.

You can see you.

By the Willow Tree grew out of a small obsession: that no single personality framework ever really got it right on its own. Myers-Briggs sees how you think. Human Design sees how you’re built to spend energy. Astrology sees the season you were born into. Held together, they form a picture none of them tell alone.

How to Get Your Profile

  • You send your Myers Briggs type. The Discovery Profile form provides several free options for you.
  • You send your name (or initials), birth date, time and birth place.
  • I obtain your Human Design chart. (Or you can upload one that you already have.)
  • I get your birth chart. (Or you can upload one that you already have.)
  • You can upload a profile pic or picture of your choice.
  • You can request specific questions to be entered into your profile for answers. There are five default questions included.
  • The information is read and analyzed against each other — where they agree, where they contradict, and what the contradictions mean.
  • I compile your Profile.
  • It arrives as a PDF + Word doc you can edit. You keep both. Most profiles are over 20 pages.
  • You also receive a one page infographic summary for a quick visualisation.
  • It’s free! (For now.)

What a Discovery Profile Will Not Do

It won’t predict your future, but if your charts signal something you should know about life phases, this is included. It won’t tell you who to marry, but if you want to know who to date, ask them to show you their Discovery Profile (just kidding.) This is your self discovery. It’s honest and unbiased. The universe is your playground. You may be surprised at how unique you really are.

What’s with the By the Willow Tree Name?

I have a connection to willow trees. I need to be in natural environments with mountains, forests and barefoot options. Cities overwhelm me.

A field of wildflowers

As a child in 60’s we lived in a housing development. I would run across the street to a friend’s house where a magnificent Willow tree spread itself out over the entire back yard. We children would play dress up in fancy flowing colorful grownup gowns and sparkly high heels far too large for children’s feet and dance among the drooping Willow branches.

I was happy dancing under the Willow tree.

I have loved The Willow tree ever since. When life was harsh, and it was to become so as the years went by, it helped to be a Woodstock barefoot mixed up teenager who found kindness among trees.
