MICHELLE LAYLI FARNSWORTH:
Michelle Layli Farnsworth is an author, teacher, entrepreneur, and founder of Mainspring Foundations and the Paisajes Healing and Respite Center. Through her writing, speaking, and work with individuals and organizations, she explores what it means to live in alignment with one's Design—the unique way each person is meant to contribute their gifts to the world.
​
Drawing from decades of experience in leadership, consulting, entrepreneurship, personal transformation, and spiritual practice, Michelle helps bridge the worlds of intuition and strategy, inner wisdom and practical action, healing and contribution. Her work invites people to reconnect with their own knowing, move beyond fear-based patterns, and create lives, careers, businesses, and communities that reflect who they truly are.
​
Michelle is the author of the Follow Your Design series, which introduces her concepts of the Noble Self and Shadow Self and explores the relationship between truth, purpose, healing, and meaningful contribution. Her current work focuses on developing a practical framework for helping individuals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and organizations reconnect with their Design and bring their unique gifts more fully into the world.
​
Her own journey has included profound personal, professional, financial, relational, and health transformations that required her to question inherited assumptions, trust her inner guidance, and follow an often unconventional path. Those experiences continue to inform her writing and her commitment to helping others discover and trust their own.
​
Whether through books, courses, coaching, speaking, retreats, or future educational initiatives, Michelle's work is dedicated to a simple but powerful question:
​
What becomes possible when people remember who they truly are and begin living from that place?

Amazon Reader
I have been finding Michelle Layli Farnsworth to be a powerful and transformative coach in my life's journey through some thorny and difficult issues. Her voice both in this book and in coaching is authentic, gentle and direct as needed, and from the heart. I find it most valuable in learning from someone who has been through and continues the personal transformation work themselves, and Michelle qualifies. She offers inspiration to us in "Follow Your Design" to help us as readers engage in transformation ourselves. I'm now designing a new life and other readers will too.
