My name is Gordon Boot and I was born and raised in Bavaria, South Germany.
Being brought up bi-lingual and enjoying extensive travels overseas from a very young age, has driven my interest to work within a multi-cultural environment.
My early career in holistic health, naturopathy and psycho-somatic therapies was strongly influenced, shaped and supported by my mother, Barbara Boot, who became my first teacher and mentor from when I was 7 years old.
Barbara established her own holistic health clinic in 1991, and in 2001 I was given the opportunity to practice along side her, as well as in my own capacity as a Craniosacral Practitioner where I continued to develop a strong appreciation and focus on psycho-somatic health and well-being.
In 2007 I rejoiced back to travelling and this was also the time where I was introduced to Stèphano Sabetti in person and his concepts – Path of No Way, which provided me with core teachings of presence, awareness, openness, heartfulness and oneness.
Although I was aware of the Human Design Framework and its teachings since around 2011/2012, it was not until a few years later that I was ready to fully integrate and conceptualize this knowledge within. I treasure, embrace and continue to inquire into these deeper knowledge systems by applying Stèphano´s unconditional approach where the “I” becomes the student who uses the “Ego-Self” and emerging processes as the teacher.
At present I do not teach Human Design, however, the knowledge is available, integrated, shared and explored within and to the benefit of our team members at KP-Unity. Empowerment starts with awareness and a willingness to become fully accountable and take action. Our team is supported by a range of multi faceted expertes in the field of holistic life, health and well-being approaches, and business.
Since moving to in 2007 Australia, and living permanently in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia from 2012 onward, I have been privileged to work along-side and learn from many Australian First Nations people.
Years of working and walking alongside my Yolŋu friends and colleagues who have shared generously their deep intuitive knowledge and wisdom which at times has challenged and transformed my perceptions and views on issues such as self-determination, self-governance, interconnectedness, relationships, trust, lifestyle and wellbeing.

In 2015 I completed my studies (Bachelor of Health Science) in Indigenous Health and Health Promotion through Charles Darwin University as an International Student. Being granted the Vice-Chancellor’s International High Achievers Scholarships I continued to complete a Bachelor of Science Honours research degree in 2016.
The focus of my research examined the extent to which and how Indigenous knowledges are acknowledged and promoted within health literacy related policy and practice documents, which was awarded First Class. Aspects of this research have been published within the International Indigenous Policy Journal;

Between 2017 and 2021 I was employed by Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation in various roles based in remote North East Arnhem Land, which had a strong focus on the broader social determinants of health and health literacy.
In 2020, my partner Kerstin and I formally established KP-Unity which aspires to becoming a driving force in holistic health and well-being, thus featuring a strong focus on women empowerment, low-tox living, healthy homes and income-diversity.
Being given the opportunity, we enthusiastically agreed to becoming independent partners with ZinZino, as well as Kerstin has become Wellness Advocates with dōTERRA. Both ZinZino and dōTERRA have proven to be invaluable and successful tools, among others for us in promoting genuine physical health, emotional well-being, low-tox living and healthy homes.
Living in genuine holistic health and well-being is not something that should be practiced half-heartedly or diminished as a secondary priority or option, but embraced in all aspects of our daily lives, as all aspects interconnect.
