What is Human Design?

In 2020 I began hearing a lot about Human Design and energy centres in our bodies. Of course, naturally, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more. I followed a couple of people who were sharing about Human Design, watched their journeys and saw how they were thriving. At the start of 2025 I had my Human Design read and I cannot begin to put into words the ways I felt seen and validated. It confirmed so many things I already knew deep down about myself, or had become aware of in recent years, and lit a spark in my soul.

About a month after that reading an ad came up on my Facebook for a free four week Human Design Coaching course. I jumped into the comments to see if it was legit and sure enough, it was. That began the start of my studying journey. After that four week course, I was hooked and longed to understand everything I could about Human Design, how it all connects and how it can (if we choose) guide us back to a more aligned version of ourselves. I began the ten week Human Design Practitioner course after that and eventually will continue on to the masters course.

What is Human Design?

Human Design is an incredible tool for self-discovery and making the most out of life. 

Combining elements from ancient Eastern & Western astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, epi-gentics and quantum physics. The Human Design System was developed by Ra Uru Hu in the late 1980s, this system has gained global popularity over the past 45 years. 

Human Design is about understanding an individual's unique energetic signatures and design characteristics. It is based on the concept that each person has a distinct “human design blueprint" determined by their precise birth date, time, and location. 

It identifies various personality types, energy flows, and life strategies- offering a way to harness these energies effectively in our lives to guide us back to a more authentic way of being and moving in the world. 

This is a way to help you better comprehend yourself, recognise your natural strengths and shadows and gain insight into your personal decision-making processes, relationships and optimal work styles. By understanding your own unique blueprint, it empowers you to make choices that align more closely with your true nature, leading you to a more fulfilling, enriched and authentic life. 

Human Design is a phenomenal tool for personal growth and self-improvement, promoting mindfulness of one's energetic patterns and enabling a more conscious and purposeful journey through life. The simplest way to put it is Human Design is personal to you and is your guidebook to life. It can have a profound impact on your life, if you so choose. 

Human Design isn’t about telling you “how to be” it is showing you what already lies within you. It is about awakening to the true potential that you possess.
