The Unblocked Method™
What is The Unblocked Method™?
The Unblocked Method is Amy Sanders's proprietary coaching framework. It combines Human Design, the Enneagram, and the Default Identity Loop to reach the layer of identity that most coaching approaches do not access — and that is the layer where the pattern actually lives.
Most coaching helps you think differently about your situation. The Unblocked Method helps you see the identity you are running — the subconscious self-concept that was adaptive in an earlier environment and is now producing results in your current life that you do not want but keep getting anyway. Once you see the identity clearly, the work becomes interrupting the pattern it produces rather than managing your thinking about it.
The three inputs
The Unblocked Method uses three frameworks in combination, because each one reveals something the other two cannot.
Human Design shows you how your energy is built to operate — your type, your strategy, your authority, and the centers where you have consistent energy versus the ones where you absorb the conditioning of the people around you. Human Design gives you a map of the aligned move. The strategy (respond, wait for the invitation, initiate and inform, wait the lunar cycle) is not optional or interpretive — it is a description of how your specific energetic structure engages with life most efficiently and with the least friction and depletion.
The Enneagram names the fear your personality was built around. Not the behavior — the fear underneath the behavior. A Type 3 does not achieve compulsively because she values success; she achieves compulsively because the fear of being worthless apart from her achievements is running the show. The Enneagram describes the emotional engine in a way that makes the behavior suddenly legible rather than just observable.
The Default Identity Loopis the third input — Amy's proprietary framework — and it is the layer that ties the first two together. The loop is the specific mechanism by which the Enneagram fear pattern blocks the Human Design strategy. A Projector with a Type 2 pattern waits for the invitation (HD), but the fear of being unneeded (Enneagram) makes waiting feel like invisibility, so she over-gives without invitation (loop), and the over-giving produces bitterness and depletion (loop outcome), which confirms the fear that she is not recognized unless she forces her way in (loop reinforcement). The loop runs until it is named — and naming it requires knowing both the strategy and the fear in the same frame.
Who this is for
High-performing women who have done the work. Therapy, self-help, other coaching modalities, spiritual practice. And something is still running underneath that the previous work did not reach. They understand themselves well — well enough to name their patterns, predict their stress responses, explain their relationship dynamics — and still find themselves repeating the same loop in different circumstances with different people.
The reason the previous work did not reach the loop is not that the work was wrong. It is that most frameworks operate at the level of thought, behavior, or nervous system state — all of which are downstream of identity. The Default Identity Loop is an identity structure, not a thought pattern, a habit, or an activation. Reaching it requires a different kind of intervention, which is what The Unblocked Method is designed to provide.
How the work happens
The Unblocked Method includes a Guide, template, courses, lessons, worksheets and workbooks (all of which are resources for the pattern-naming work, not a linear curriculum that produces the shift on its own).
The Unblocked Method is not a curriculum. There is no six-week framework, no module sequence, no workbook that produces the transformation at the end. The work happens in the coaching conversation — specifically in the moment when the loop becomes visible to the person it is running in, which is a specific and experiential moment rather than a conceptual one.
Amy works with clients one-on-one, in groups through The Unblocked Collective, and through The Mirror — an AI coaching product she built that applies The Unblocked Method to a member's specific Human Design and Enneagram combination in live sessions. The Mirror is not a replacement for human coaching. It is a daily access point for the kind of pattern-naming work that typically requires a coach to facilitate.
Frequently asked questions
What is The Unblocked Method?
Amy Sanders's proprietary coaching framework that integrates Human Design, the Enneagram, and the Default Identity Loop to help high-performing women identify the subconscious pattern driving their behavior, see how their unique energetic wiring interacts with that pattern, and make one different move at a time until the pattern loses its grip.
How does The Unblocked Method differ from other coaching frameworks?
Most coaching operates at the level of mindset, behavior, or strategy. The Unblocked Method operates at the level of identity — the subconscious self-concept running the behavior underneath the strategy. By naming the Default Identity Loop specific to each person's Human Design and Enneagram combination, the method reaches a layer that mindset work typically does not.
Who is The Unblocked Method for?
High-performing women who have done the work — therapy, self-help, other coaching modalities — and still feel like something is running underneath that the previous work did not reach. Women who understand themselves well and are still finding themselves repeating patterns they have identified and do not want.
Do I need to know my Human Design and Enneagram types to start?
No. The Mirror coaching product includes the type assessments as part of the onboarding experience. If you already know your types, you can start immediately; if not, the quizzes are the first move.
