Human Design
What Is Human Design
Human Design is a modern system of self-understanding that combines ancient wisdom with contemporary science to create a highly accurate and deeply personal map of your energy, purpose, and potential. It offers insights into how you are uniquely designed to operate — emotionally, mentally, physically, and energetically — helping you let go of conditioning and reconnect with your most authentic self.
​
Human Design is a synthesis of several wisdom traditions: Western and Eastern astrology, the I’Ching, the Chakra system, and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Rather than dividing the sky into twelve zodiac signs, Human Design identifies 64 archetypal gates, each corresponding to both an I’Ching hexagram and a position in the genetic code. These gates form the foundation of your energetic blueprint, showing the gifts, patterns, and themes you are here to explore and express.
At the centre of the system is the BodyGraph, a visual representation of the flow of life-force energy through nine energy centres — an expanded view of the traditional seven chakras. These centres represent functions such as communication, intuition, emotion, identity, and drive. The connections between them — known as channels and gates — form a detailed picture of your personality, strengths, and sensitivities.
​
One of the first things revealed in a Human Design chart is your Energy Type — Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, or Reflector. Each type has a unique way of interacting with the world and making decisions. From here, further layers unfold, including your Strategy, Authority, Profile, Definition, and Incarnation Cross — all contributing to a nuanced understanding of your nature.
Human Design is best thought of as a practical tool for realignment. It doesn't tell you who to become — it shows you who you already are, beneath conditioning and external expectations. In my practice, I use Human Design as a supportive framework for self-awareness, de-conditioning, and conscious decision-making. It can be woven into counselling sessions, or explored through a full chart reading, depending on your needs.

Quantum Human Design™
What Is Quantum Human Designâ„¢
Quantum Human Design™ is a modern evolution of the original Human Design system, developed by long-time teacher and practitioner Karen Curry Parker. While rooted in the foundational teachings of Human Design’s founder, Ra Uru Hu, Quantum Human Design™ offers a more compassionate, empowering language to support self-growth and transformation.
​
Ra Uru Hu originally introduced Human Design in a provocative and disruptive way — using sharp, confronting language to shock people out of their conditioned patterns. While this was effective for its time, it could sometimes feel limiting or harsh. Ra intended to evolve the language over time, but passed away before he was able to complete that work.
​
Karen Curry Parker, who studied and worked closely with Ra, has carried this evolution forward. She created Quantum Human Design™ to offer a higher-frequency, psychologically attuned vocabulary — one that supports healing, resilience, and the unfolding of human potential. It reframes the chart through the lens of empowerment, helping people tell a new story of what’s possible for their life.
In my work, I often draw on both traditional and Quantum Human Design™ , blending insight with compassion. Whether you're looking for clarity around decision-making, purpose, emotional patterns, or life direction, this system provides a profound framework for reconnecting with your inner truth and aligning your life accordingly.
