at this point, you might be wondering....

What the heck is Human Design?

Human Design is a tool for building self awareness and living out your purpose. It gives you a blueprint for how you’ve been *designed* to use your energy and express your gifts most authentically. In other words, it shows you how to work, play, communicate, make decisions, and connect in a way that is most effective for YOU.

Human design is grounded in ancient and modern modalities

Your Human Design chart–based on your birth time, date and place–draws on the Hindu chakras, the Chinese iChing, conventional astrology and the kabbalistic Tree of Life. It is based on the belief that we are all unique. We are all designed to thrive in different environments and on different diets. We have different strengths, sensitivities and preferences for a reason.

And yet, we live in a world that puts a lot of pressure on people to conform. As a result, many of us are following the wrong blueprint, leading to frustration resentment, anger and disappointment. Human Design gives you permission to let go of these conditioned behaviors and lean into your YOU-ness so you can find more peace and ease in your everyday.

You may find Human Design especially valuable if:

You are navigating a big transition in life

You feel stuck, resentful, angry or disappointed

You keep encountering the same type of resistance

You are searching for guidance around your purpose in life

You want to improve your relationships by better understanding loved ones

You want optimize your lifestyle and daily habits
