To me, Human Design is one of the most powerful tools for remembering who you truly are. It’s not a belief system or a philosophy; it’s a logical map of your energetic architecture. It shows you how your life force flows, how you’re meant to operate in the world, and what throws you out of alignment. It’s like being handed the user’s manual you never got at birth so you can relax and finally trust your inner authority, your decisions, your path.
We are all born into a world that conditions us from the start — to fit in, to perform, to survive, be like the ‘other’. That conditioning pulls us further and further from our essence. Human Design shows you the way back. It reminds you that you’re not here to be like anyone else. You’re here to be deeply, unapologetically you. And when you see your chart for the first time — your design, your type, your authority, your gates and channels — it’s like your soul exhales. You finally get to say, “Oh… this is who I came here to be!” There is so much peace in that.
I use Human Design not as the end-all, but as a portal. A mirror. A way to gently dissolve the shame, confusion, and self-rejection that comes from living a life built on someone else’s ideals. It helps you see that your sensitivities, your quirks, your challenges — they’re not mistakes. They’re clues. And when you begin to honor your design instead of resist it, you begin to trust yourself again. That trust becomes the foundation for deeper shadow work and emotional healing — real inner alchemy.
At its core, Human Design is the science of differentiation. It’s based on how subatomic neutrinos (teeny tiny particles from stars) imprint your body at birth and program your experience of this life. That might sound a little out there, but the results are tangible. This system bridges science and spirit, biology and mysticism, and gives you a clear way to feel the difference between what truly makes up “you” and what you’re just here to play with.
This isn’t about being better, more spiritual, or more successful. It’s about being real. Human design helps us to better understand the mystery of life and the universe around us. It shows our unique patterns in life, which helps us to reconnect with our true essence. The irony of being human is we spend so much time trying to “fix” ourselves, when the truth is: there’s nothing wrong with us. We were just never taught how to operate our vehicle. Human Design helps you remember. And from that remembering, everything begins to change — your decisions, your relationships, your health, your path.
I offer Human Design readings as a way to initiate this remembering. Not as information overload, but as a grounded, soulful conversation — one that supports your transformation, not just your curiosity. This is a return to your Self. A reconnection with your true rhythm. It’s one of the most powerful tools in the alchemist’s kit — and it’s only the beginning.
What is Human Design?
The Human Design System is not a belief system. It does not require that you believe in anything. It does not require that you believe in me. It is not stories. It is not philosophy. It is a concrete map of the nature of being. It is a logical way to see ourselves.
With Human Design, just knowing the simple mechanics of your Design is enough to make a vast difference in your life. The irony of what it is to be a human being is that we’re caught at the surface of understanding and accepting our nature and the cosmos around us. We are just at the surface. It doesn’t matter how intelligent we are. It doesn’t matter the labels that we attach to that intelligence – whether we call it “enlightented” or whether we call it “genius”. There is a vast underlying ignorance of how our bodies operate.
The Human Design System is a reading of your genetic code. This ability to be able to detail the mechanics of your nature in such a depth is obviously profound because it reveals your entire character – conscious and unconscious – in all its subtleties. However, it is not necessary for you to know Human Design in great depth. That is the job of the professional analyst. What this work aspires to communicate is simply the surface mechanics of your nature. This will give you grounding in your life which will immediately bring a difference to your life process.
In the words of Ra Uru Hu, Founder and Messenger of the Human Design System
These essential truths are simple because they are mechanical. The way in which your genes operate is purely mechanical, and the the moment you try to interfere with their operation you descend into a life of confusion, chaos, and pain. In the end, your genes will have their way.
You are passengers in these bodies. You are passenger consciousness experiencing life going by. Buddha taught that the body is not yours. It is not. Yet at the same time, you are totally dependent on it. This is the tragedy of a sick body. You are totally dependent on your vehicle. To learn how to operate it properly immediately brings benefits.
In my teaching of Human Design and the training of Human Design analysts, students of mine have ranged from 14 years old to being in their late 80s. There is no limitation and there is no barrier denying anyone from grasping these essential truths about themselves. This is not simply about saying “Aha, I’m this or I’m that”. This is not just another profiling system. It is about having the opportunity to do something with the knowledge. It is about being able to act on the experiement with its logic. This brings the remarkable experience of finding and ultimately living one’s true life.
All learning, that is real learning, takes seven years. It takes approximately seven years to regenerate the cells in the body. We live in a seven-year cycle. The moment you begin to come to your own nature, the moment that you allow your body to live its life without resistance, you begin a deep process of de-conditioning. Seven years later, you emerge, quite literally, as a new being – yourself.
It’s one of the great cosmic jokes that human beings don’t have the opportunity to live out their own lives. it is because they don’t have the opportunity to live out their own lives that life seems to be such a difficult experience for them. We know that there is a lot of rhetoric around being yourself. It is all fine and good for somebody to stand up and tell you to be yourself, but first you have to know who that self is.
In my professional work, I have given thousands of readings. Wherever that has been, and regardless of culture or country, I have found there to be one prevailing disease. That disease is self-hatred, and it thrives wherever you discover something about yourself that you would like to change. Self-hatred varies in intensity from being just beneath the surface of the consciousness, to being full blown. It is the most human of ironies that self-hatred is truly misplaced because most people do not know themselves. They actually hate the wrong person. They are actually dissatisfied with the wrong person.
Most human beings don’t like themselves and they don’t like themselves because they truly do not know who they are. Most human beings have never lived the experience of being themselves, nor seen the beauty of what their true life holds. It is time to see that this not, as the ancients claim, the planet of suffering, but in fact, an opportunity for a glorious awareness.
Human Design is not about guarantees or promises. This is not saying that if you live out your own nature, you’re going to be the wealthiest or the most beautiful. It is not about being better or best. It is about being yourself.
Life is a duality and this is revealed through our moralities. There is always going to be this and that. There is always going to be the good and the bad. There is always going to be success and there is always going to be failure. That is the nature of what it is to be human.
The moment that you live out your own nature and you enter into life correctly, this is the moment that you get what is correct for you. You get the correct career and you get the correct relationships. So, you see, it does not matter whether you are a success or not, because there will be no suffering, despite your state. You will be living out your nature and it will be clear to you that what is there for you is right for you, whatever that might be. Only then, finally, will there be no part of you that can say: “I wish I could be something else or somewhere else”.
We are overwhelmed in our western culture with with improvement propaganda. The hucksters cry “be thinner, wiser, faster, richer”. There are all kinds of purveyors of teachings who beckon us to follow “their” way. All human beings suffer from the propaganda of generalizations. WIthout knowing oneself, one can so easily be lost in this propaganda. You do not have to change anything. It is simply a matter of becoming yourself and becoming aware of yourself.
The Human Design System opens the door to the potential of Self-Love. Finding self-love is also about finding a greater love, a love for life and a love for others through understanding. To be yourself is to bring into your life those people who are truly for you. This knowledge is about how you do that simply, so that you too can benefit from the best possible associations. Correct associations allow you to not only be seen and understood by others, but also allow you to understand them. As a parent, this has been an essential ingredient in the wellbeing of my children.
Human Design is logical, mechanical knowledge. It is neither theorizing nor philosiphizing. It is about being able to do practial things with knowledge that brings practical benefits.
