Human Design guidance for clarity, insight and alignment

Human Design reveals how your energy naturally moves, responds and interacts with the world. I help you read that map so you can understand your patterns, decision-making process and relational rhythms with grounded clarity and embodied insight. This work supports alignment and self-trust, not therapy or psychological processing.

How I support your Human Design journey

Human Design becomes powerful when it’s embodied, not memorised. I weave the system with counselling, somatics and deconditioning work so you can understand your design through lived experience, nervous-system safety and grounded clarity.  

This isn’t about getting lost in your gates or trying to become the “perfect” version of your type. It’s about learning what’s yours, what’s not, and how to live from your inner authority instead of old conditioning.

Human Design pathways

You do not need to know which modality you need before you come.
These pathways simply describe the different ways we can work together.

Understanding your energy and core life themes.

Navigate identity, purpose and conditioning with a grounded, therapeutic Human Design lens. Gain clarity on your patterns, your direction and what alignment feels like in real time.

Supporting your child through their unique design.

Understand your child’s nervous system, learning style and energetic expression. Create clarity, reduce overwhelm and meet their emotional needs with confidence.

Creating harmony through your family's energetic map.

See how each person’s design interacts so you can reduce friction and honour differences. Support connection, communication and alignment for every member of your family.

What Human Design is

Human Design shows you how your energy moves and responds. It helps you understand your strengths, sensitivities and the patterns shaped by conditioning so you can meet yourself with more compassion and clarity.

How this helps

  • Clarity. 
  • Permission. 
  • Nervous system relief. 
  • Alignment in relationships. 
  • Better boundaries and self trust.

Your Type

How your energy moves through the world and how you respond, rest and stay aligned.

Your Strategy

How your aura is designed to move through life. It helps you stop pushing and start responding in a way that aligns with your energy.

Your Authority

The inner decision maker that helps you trust your body instead of your mind.

Your Profile

The way you learn, relate, and grow. It shows the story you’re here to live and how you move through life.

How I support you through Human Design.

Human Design becomes powerful when it’s lived through your body, not memorised in your mind. My work blends formally trained, mechanically accurate Human Design mentoring with somatic therapy, deconditioning support and trauma-aware guidance. I hold both the traditional Human Design foundations and the therapeutic skill set to help you meet your chart in a way that is safe for your nervous system.  

Together we explore your design in a way that helps you feel alignment, not just understand it conceptually.
We track the patterns that shape your identity, the conditioning that pulls you away from yourself, and the pathways that allow your system to return to clarity, confidence and internal safety.

Somatic Human Design  

I help you understand how your design shows up through your nervous system. We explore where conditioning sits in your body, how you lose alignment and the patterns you’ve carried for years. Sessions focus on embodiment, repair and permission so you can return to your natural energetic rhythm.

Trauma-aware integration 

Your chart is never used to categorise you. We unpack the parts shaped by pressure, expectation and survival so you can recognise what is truly yours and what never was. You learn to make decisions, rest and respond from your own authority instead of old conditioning.

Support for families

I guide you through understanding your own energy and the dynamics within your family. This helps reduce friction, honour differences and create alignment in daily life. Each person’s design becomes a map for connection and clarity.

Reflector mentoring

As a Reflector myself, I support others through grounding, monthly rhythms, deconditioning and identity shifts. I also mentor practitioners who want to understand Reflectors correctly so their work empowers and honours this rare type.

Human Design your way

Human Design readings

Understand your energy, your patterns and the deeper story shaping your life.

A reading gives you a grounded, therapeutic and trauma-aware introduction to your design and your lived experience. Instead of throwing information at you, we slow it down. We look at the mechanics of your chart through a lived, embodied lens so you can make sense of how your energy actually works in your body, not just in your mind.

We explore your type, strategy, authority, profile, circuitry and the core themes shaping your life. You’ll see why you experience life the way you do, where pressure comes from, and what alignment looks and feels like for you right now.

My background in counselling, somatics and deconditioning support means you receive more than an information session. You receive clarity, permission, nervous system relief and a deeper sense of self-trust.

Common focuses inside readings: 
• Identity, purpose and direction
• Conditioning and old patterns
• Nervous system overwhelm
• Relationship and communication themes
• Life transitions, burnout and emotional clarity

Children — Human Design for kids

Support your child through their unique rhythm, personality and way of experiencing the world.  

Every child is wired differently. Human Design gives you a clearer way to see how your child learns, processes life and expresses themselves, so you can support them with confidence instead of confusion.  

This work brings together my experience in social work, families work and movement-based modalities for children. We look at your child’s chart through a gentle, practical lens that helps you understand:

• how they naturally take in information
• what helps them feel safe, capable and settled
• what overwhelms them
• the environments they thrive in
• how they relate to you, their siblings and peers  

Instead of trying to “fix” behaviours, we explore the deeper mechanics behind them so you can meet your child where they are and respond in a way that actually works.  

This approach supports your child’s development while strengthening your relationship with them. It helps you parent with clarity, calm and compassion.

Families by Design

Families don’t struggle because people are doing life wrong. They struggle because different nervous systems, needs and rhythms are trying to coexist without a shared language.  Family Design and relational composition charts offer a way to see how each person’s energy interacts with the others in real life. Not in theory. In the kitchen. At bedtime. During conflict. During change.  A relational or family composition chart looks at how individual designs meet. Where energy flows easily. Where friction naturally arises. Who amplifies pressure. Who absorbs emotion. Who needs space. Who needs consistency. Who needs recognition. None of this is about blame. It’s about awareness.  

When we work with a family chart, patterns start to make sense. Why one child melts down in busy environments. Why another withdraws. Why certain dynamics repeat between siblings. Why parents feel constantly depleted or reactive despite doing their best.  

This work supports families to move from managing behaviour to understanding needs. From reacting to responding. From feeling like something is wrong to recognising that difference is not dysfunction.  

Relational Human Design creates permission. It helps families honour each person’s design while building systems that actually work for the whole household. Communication becomes clearer. Expectations soften. Regulation increases. Connection becomes possible again.  

This is not about fixing your family. It’s about understanding how your family is wired, together.

Human Design Reflectors

Reflectors experience life differently. With no fixed centres, your system samples the environment, the people around you and the wider rhythms of life. This can bring depth, wisdom and sensitivity, but it can also create confusion, exhaustion and a feeling of not knowing who you are from one moment to the next. Reflector support requires time, spaciousness and a correct understanding of how your energy actually works. Not pressure to decide. Not strategies designed for other types. Not being told to push through.

My work with Reflectors focuses on helping you recognise what is yours and what you are reflecting, how to work with the lunar cycle, and how to build a life that honours your need for rest, clarity and permission. We slow things down so your system can speak.

For those who live with, parent or work alongside Reflectors, this guidance also offers a way to understand how to support without overwhelming, fixing or projecting.

This is specialised work. It is relational. It is paced. And it is rooted in lived experience as a Reflector myself.
