Welcome to Arawme,
I am so glad to cross paths with you here.
My name is Sylvia.
I am the founder, spiritual writer, certified Human Design reader, Projector mentor, and soul- led business guide behind Arawme and Your Companion.
βArawmeβ is basically a raw me put together.
Over here, I teach you to be self-led.
My work is about activating you gently in your unique divinity through the lens of human design, self-concept, and grounded spirituality.
In Projector embodiment,
I spent 27 years of my life trying to fit into a mould.
Before Human Design came into my life, I was fluent in one language: effort.
I searched for answers outside of myself; in the approval of others, in the hustle, in the relentless doing β because I genuinely did not know another way existed.
I pondered why I couldn't fit in, why it didn't work, why I was always so tired, and why reality never unfolded the way it seemed to for everyone else.
I was trying to fit myself into a circular hole when I was born to be a square peg. (a rather divine one, mind you.)
Human Design showed me a different light. It became my permission slip.
Now at 34, I have lived across eight countries, running a soul-led business that has brought me the freedom, spaciousness, and abundance I once only dared to imagine. My work is activating Projectors across the world so their deconditioning journey does not just exist in the mind, but is embodied in the body through their everyday lives.
But beyond the external shifts that have gotten me to where I am today, I became someone I recognize and am proud of. And as a hope motivation Projector, I intend to inspire this seed of possibility in you too.

βMost of us have two lives. The life we live and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands resistance.β
In business the soul-led way,
The most significant shift with Human Design was in the way I approached my soul-led business.
Before that, I used to hold a belief system that:
β you have to have as many offerings as possible
β the hustle culture was the only way to succeed in business and in life
β strategy has to precede everything
β a soft business approach does not exist
β there is no room for play in business
β this exhaustion and inauthenticity meant something was wrong with me
I equated my worth with my productivity, the likes, the reposts and the hours I exchanged. I doubted myself more than I believed in myself.
Another layer, more consistency, greater visibility, another strategy, and I began to ask myself:
Are any of these even going to work?
Are any of theseβ even me?
Today, my soul-led business solely operates as an extension of my Projector divinity. That happened because I chose differently.
Capacity before strategy. Creativity alongside devotion. Moving powerfully and intentionally, not quickly.
My approach to soul-led business coaching is not something you often see out there. I teach you an approach the soul-led way. So your marketing feels lighter. So opportunities materialize instead of being something you have to hustle for. So conversion feels like something you can sustainably hold. So your business becomes something you are actually proud of.

My story β
one of loss, despair, awakening, grounded truth, the formal invitation, being soul-led, the initiation and listening to your soulβs whisper.
In my lifetime thus far,
I had two awakenings β both in 2017 and 2018. Both happened when I was living in the Maldives as a diving instructor. The first was triggered by the loss of a very special friend. The second occurred around the time of the Saturn Return in Capricorn, also timely marked by a few potent eclipses. (The Universe never ceases to amaze me)
It was the most tumultuous time of my life.
I held the lowest self-worth consciousness. I have never stoop so low.
Both times left me with a deep void of emptiness, of desperation and grief. But they also taught me a deep well of safety, grace, healing, compassion, nourishment and an abundance of self-love.
A reclaim of a power that only I can give to myself.
βOne day, Sylvia, you will use what healed you to heal others.β
These were the words of one of my advisors during that time. It was beyond what my subconscious and energetic capacity could comprehend at the time, but this phrase never left me.
Arawme was birthed into this world when I finally listened to my spirit.
First came a lot of self-denial and self-doubt, then remembrance, then an inherent certainty of calling; of certainty; of something bigger than myself; of truth.
And if you are reading this, you would probably know what I mean.
Or perhaps, you would have noticed the nudges, the synchronicities, or in your quiet, introspective hours of what βcould have beenβ when you look into the brilliant night sky.
And perhaps this was a sign.
Perhaps this too, was what your soul really needed.
Read: Healed so hard
Read: For over two decades, I kept a part of myself hidden from the world
I was ready to be seen.
βOwning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.β
Being awakened, or awakening does not mean we are βelevatedβ or better than others.
That is ego play.
But rather, of someone who carries a deeper understanding of life and its trials; embracing the duality and impermanence of what life; recognizing our conditionings and our inherent truths, aligning with our higher self and our soulβs calling; converting our wounds to value, acknowledging our gifts, honoring our calling and empowering others the way we healedβ ourselves.
And the work isnβt the path of least resistance but a path of choice and consciousness.
Many of us are awakening right now, far more than before.
We are waking up to the senseless, uninspired, exhaustive, disconnected, and inauthentic way of living and being.
We are waking up from the falsehoods and fears that held us back and pervade most of our lives.
We are opting out of homogenization by leaning into our authenticity and being truthful to ourselves.
We are discerning the noises that may have misguided us for far too long, and leaning into the quiet truth from deep within.
As we approach 2027, more people will awaken. And they will need to lean on you to know that it is possible for them too.
Regardless if you have received this nudge through Human Design, Astrology, or other spiritual modalities, or a spiritual awakening as I did,
Know that this was not a coincidence.
βNothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water.
Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass it.
β
My philosophyβ
Arawme is grounded on energetics, empowerment, excitement, and embodiment.
I am a big believer in being wholeheartedly human, and everyoneβs ability to self-heal and do the work.
We came here to journey back to ourselves. And sometimes, this timeline looks different for everyone. Identity is a living, breathing verb. Change is our only constant. Change does not have to always appear outward right away; change sometimes begins inward, subtly and quietly, like the way you wield boundaries, the way you speak to yourself, the way you choose a different decision, your subconscious capacity, learning the pause before the reaction, letting go of versions of yourself where you have been shrinking, etc.
Here, your vulnerabilities, sensitivities, pain points, and soft spots are welcome. I believe in making mistakes, being curious, and being compassionate. Choosing love over fear (consistently) is important to me. I believe in holding our bad emotions safely too β gently and compassionately, without judgment. I believe in taking ownership and being accountable for our actions, responses, emotions, desires, and growth.
Love is huge for me too β and hopefully, youβll feel its frequency undulating between these words here.
Your gifts never forget you.
There is a profound gift that exists in every one of us when we incarnate in this world, and we are meant to discover it and share it with the world in this lifetime. And we are only and always one decision away from living our most authentic selves.
Remembering, takes you on a conscious path of cultivating your unique version of authenticity, of going inward and looking at yourself more deeply than you ever haveβ choosing alignment with your desires, values, and truth.
It is remembering who your soul came here to be, before your conditioning intervened. All the wisdom you ever need is already within you. Read this piece of musing of mine about waking up.
Alignment is divinity.
Learning my Human Design (1/3 Self-Projected Projector here) and approaching business the soul-led Projector way has transformed my life. Before that, I had spent 27 years of my life trying to fit into a mould that only really questioned my existence.
The old Sylvia would search for answers outside of myself for all the reasons why I couldnβt fit in, why it didnβt work, when I was too tired, or when reality did not unfold the way it did for others. I remember pushing and hustling because no other ways were known to me.
My wholehearted commitment to stepping into my Projectorhood has revolutionized how I live my personal and professional life. Now at 34, my current reality is a testament to the power of choosing yourself and living your design.
I firmly believe that Human Design is a powerful tool and technology that supports anyone in their self-discovery and personal growth journey. If you are new to Human Design, you can check out your Human Design here. (If you do not know where to begin, you may purchase a personalized report here)
Widely known as the science of the aura, the beauty of Human Design is that it is not a belief system nor is it rooted in any personality tests βit is a logical, mechanical system that encourages you to explore and experiment with its mechanics and find out if/how it works for you.
The unification of its esoteric components creates its uniqueness, offering practical, digestible wisdom we can incorporate and experiment with in our lives. I like to view our individual Human Design as our unique energetic blueprint β the energetic essence of who we came here to be.
Wherever you may be in your journey, whether you are teetering between breakdown, confusion and clarity, feeling called to align with who your soul came here to be, discovering your zone of genius, or feeling called to start a soul-based business or align your existing business with your divinity, I want to say, I see you and I am here for you. You donβt have to walk this path alone.
My work blends Human Design, Self-concept, and grounded spirituality. Thank you for meeting me here.

A Little Bit MoreAbout Me:
-
As a Projector in Human Design, I keep readings to a small number each week.
As a Projector and a right (anti-theist) hope-motivation individual, I am wholeheartedly passionate about journeying inward.
In terms of my Human Design background, I have been on a radical experiment and Projectorhood journey for the past seven years. Over the past years, my personal Human Design journey has taken me through various deep self-studies and several courses. My foundational and advanced education comes from teachers and self-study material, including Karen Curry, Richard Rudd, Jenna Zoe, Evelyne Levenson, Pilar Lesko, and Ra Uru Hu. I do not identify myself as an advocate of Source material.I identify myself as an eternal student of life and academic pursuits and do not actively pursue any linear or specific education or accreditation (line 1/3, right awareness, hope, motivation here). I do not claim to be an expert or professional Human Design analyst, but rather an empowered individual and Human Design reader who firmly believes in using Human Design as a tool for self-discovery and alignment with oneβs divinity.
My area of expertise is derived particularly from my personal de-conditioning journey, advanced Human Design studies as a reader, activating countless clients globally, and lived embodied experiences that have worked and allowed me to achieve the spaciousness, authenticity, recognition and Projector Success today.
My intention is not to mislead, misinform, or confuse anyone, but to ensure transparency and integrity in all my energy exchanges (my resources, offerings, and services).

I always start my day with a protection mantra and a spiritual practice that includes meditation, visualization, gratitude journaling, and reading mantras/prayers.
I typically do a morning walk and a lymphatic stretching and/or workout. I drink a warm hibiscus + clove tea for my first drink of the day and end the day with a dandelion root mixture tea!
Throughout the day, I check in with my energy level and always make time for daily downtime where I am with my own aura, ideally sleeping alone. You can read more about unwinding as a Projector here.
In terms of productivity, I normally start my mornings early, slow, spacious and unhurried. I wake up oftentimes before 6.30 am and am in bed by 11 pm. I emphasize 4-5 hours of deep flow states for work and mono-tasking. I use subliminals and high vibrational music alongside work. Around mid-afternoon, I will normally have my ceremonial matcha either warm, iced, or with oat milk. One of my latest additions is a downtime at sunset with a fiction book. It is a reminder for my body that my day is ending and I am ready to unwind.
I no longer compare my productivity to any sacral beings and trust that I am here to work smarter, not harder.
I typically spend time in nature and engage in activities such as hiking, walking, snorkeling, kitesurfing, and swimming in the ocean, or walking along the beach.
-
I am originally from Singapore but identify mostly as a global citizen. I have lived in 7 countries so far.(Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, UK, Maldives, Italy and Palau)
I drink ceremonial matcha daily! I have been drinking since 2019.I have spent 10 years living very close to the ocean and working as a diving instructor. The bulk of the time was spent in the Maldives!
In my free time, I enjoy deep 1:1 conversations with my loved ones, exploring quiet cafes, listening to Mandarin songs, hiking, people-watching, home Pilates, cooking Asian and Italian dishes, my matcha practice, my warm breakfast, reading non-fiction, flowers, candles, and cinnamon rolls.
I love watching my clients THRIVE.
My current favorite play is kitesurfing! You may see some ( although rather inconsistent) updates on my Instagram here.
Lately, I am loving saunas <3

βBefore I started working with Sylvia, I was going through a particularly turbulent period, where I was beholden to the lows of my emotional wave and felt very lost in life. As my Projector mentor, she helped me anchor in a new and evolving identity as a Projector who is rooted in certainty, curiosity, and nervous system regulation. Through an outpouring of direct support and plenty of tools, Sylvia helped me navigate several life growth spurts in a short period of timeβ and I am stronger for it.
I now trust myself again and feel so much more expanded. I highly recommend working with her if you are looking for a Projector mentor who sees you not just as you are, but the version beyond your current one.β
