Human Design
Human Design reveals the true core of our being – and from there offers practical guidance on how we can act in alignment with our nature.
„It is a tool I first applied to myself, which has deeply convinced me – and which I now integrate into my work with great passion.“
What is Human Design?
Human Design is a tool for self-discovery. It helps us understand how we are ‘meant to be’ – beyond upbringing, expectations, and roles. It makes visible the traits, strengths, and inner mechanisms we were born with – and how we can best live in harmony with ourselves, others, and the challenges of daily life.
Human Design is not a religion or belief system, but a system that combines various sciences – including genetics, quantum physics, astrology, psychology, and ancient wisdom teachings. For many, it feels like an inner compass that brings clarity and direction.
Origins of Human Disigns
Human Design is based on the insight that our moment of birth – the exact time and place – leaves an energetic imprint within us.
This is created by so-called neutrinos – tiny particles streaming from stars and planets, which pass through our body and every cell at the moment of birth. They carry information and influence our energetic ‘map’.
The Human Design System was received and developed in the late 1980s by Ra Uru Hu on Ibiza. Its origin story is extraordinary – but what truly fascinates is that from the first experience, you feel it relates to you. Human Design can be applied practically and observed directly.
What can Human Design do?
Human Design supports you in recognizing your strengths, freeing yourself from external expectations, and making decisions that are truly aligned with who you are. It helps you live and act authentically – in both personal and professional life.
Who is it especially helpful for?
For Individuals
Human Design makes visible who you are – beyond roles, expectations, and external influences. It shows you how to make sounder decisions, use your energy wisely, and move through life with more ease.
How Human Design can support you:
• Clarity about your strengths and potential
• Making decisions in alignment with yourself
• Setting healthier boundaries and avoiding overwhelm
• Gaining more understanding and calm in relationships
For Self-Employed & Leaders
Human Design helps you use your potential purposefully – and lead with more clarity, effectiveness, and authenticity. As an entrepreneur or leader, you are often challenged to make decisions and carry responsibility. Human Design offers guidance on how to do so in a way that truly fits you.
How Human Design can support you:
• Clarity about your leadership and decision-making style
• Building trust through authentic presence
• Keeping an eye on your own resources and preventing burnout
• Understanding better how to collaborate and strengthen your team
For Companies & Teams
Human Design helps teams understand each other better and improve collaboration. When different strengths and working styles become visible, more clarity, respect, and mutual understanding emerge – the foundation for successful teamwork.
How Human Design can support:
• Recognize and utilize diverse talents in the team
• Improve communication and decision-making processes
• Reduce conflicts and strengthen cooperation
• Increase motivation and team spirit in daily work
For Parents & Children
Human Design is like a map that shows parents the individuality and authentic being of their child. It is almost like a ‘manual’ for understanding and supporting the child’s natural talents, potentials, needs, and challenges.
From the very beginning, the goal is to accompany children in their uniqueness – without forcing them into a mold that societal norms often impose. This way, children can live their true selves, instead of later struggling to free themselves.
How Human Design can support:
• Recognizing and nurturing your child’s talents, potentials, needs, and challenges
• Understanding and strengthening your child’s natural decision-making style
• Creating more harmony in family relationships
• Supporting your child to live authentically from the very beginning
„My heart’s desire is to support parents so their children can live their authentic selves from the start – and step into the world with confidence.“
As both a mother and a coach, I know how important it is to honor the uniqueness of children. Too often in my coaching I see people at 40 realizing they never truly lived their own life – but instead followed what others expected of them.
I want children to never have to take this detour but instead have the chance from the beginning to live authentically. Human Design offers parents guidance: to see their children as they truly are, appreciate their individuality, and allow them to step into their own place in the world with trust and clarity.
How I use Human Design in coaching
In my coaching, Human Design is not a classical “reading,” but a supportive tool. I use it wherever it can give you clarity and orientation – whether for decisions, relationships, or your professional path.
It’s important to me that Human Design doesn’t stay abstract but becomes practical in everyday life. That’s why I always connect the insights from your chart with your current situation, questions, and goals. This creates coaching that both inspires you and gives you concrete steps for your life.
To share Human Design in a sound and professional way, I have been undergoing official analyst training since 2023 at an institute certified by the International Human Design School (IHDS) and I gradually integrate this knowledge into my work.

Parents & Children
What Parents & Children can gain from Human Design
- More understanding for their child’s individuality
- Calm and composure in challenging situations
- Clarity about the child’s natural decision-making style
- Guidance to help children live authentically from the start
- More harmonious and empowering family relationships
„It’s my heartfelt wish that children grow up connected to their true nature and share it with the world – confidently and freely.“
My aim is to support parents in guiding their children to unfold their authentic selves and grow into their full potential.
Human Design reveals what lives within a child and gives parents a deeper understanding and a practical tool to support them with clarity, trust, and ease.
Through my daughter, I have experienced how valuable Human Design can be. She has incredible energy, a strong will, and great vitality – and these shape her deeply. Human Design has helped me better understand her behavior, whether in decision-making, competitive situations, or when following her urge to try everything on her own.
Instead of forcing her into societal standards, I can now accompany her with more calm, understanding, and love. I see that these traits are part of her nature – with all their strengths and challenges.
What is special about Human Design: you can start applying it right away. Even at first glance at the bodygraph, concrete insights for daily life emerge – and many can be directly observed in a child’s behavior. For those who want to go deeper, countless further levels of knowledge are available.
It matters deeply to me that children receive our support from the very beginning – so they don’t end up realizing in midlife that they’ve mostly adapted to external expectations instead of being true to themselves.
Human Design helps families build lighter, more conscious, and more understanding relationships. This way, children can learn early on to trust themselves, make aligned decisions, and shape their role in the world with joy.

Mini-Insights for Children based on their Human Design type
Manifestor-Children
About 8% of humanity are Manifestors. They set things in motion, initiate change, and have a natural ability to influence people and situations. Their strong will and desire for independence make them initiators.
To develop their strength in a healthy way, they need freedom of movement, the ability to make their own decisions, and space to take responsibility. Too much control quickly leads to rebellion, trust and a clear framework work far better.
Parents can encourage them to share their thoughts and ideas. It is also crucial that they early learn to inform their surroundings – or ask permission – before starting something new. This way, they meet support instead of resistance.
Manifestor children learn best in short, intense phases (“sprints”) and need breaks afterwards, since they do not have constant energy.
Generator Children
Generators possess strong life energy, endurance, and creative power – they are true builders. Generators feel most satisfied when they can use their energy productively for things that bring them joy; otherwise, frustration tends to arise quickly.
When it comes to decision-making, their gut response plays a central role. Yes/no questions are ideal, as they allow the child to sense what feels aligned in the moment. A “no” may sometimes come as a short “ugh” – not out of rudeness, but as a clear bodily reaction.
In daily life, it’s helpful to offer activities that spark joy and give the child space to follow their excitement and enter a flow state. Before homework or long periods of sitting, it can be supportive to first release energy through short bursts of movement.
Generator children are designed to be physically active throughout the day and to use up their life force. Once their energy is spent, they tend to go to bed content and relaxed.
Manifesting Generator Children
Manifesting Generators are a subgroup of Generators so the basic traits apply to them as well: strong life energy, gut-based decision-making, and satisfaction when using their energy for things they enjoy.
Additionally, MG children – the multipassionate – are fast, curious, and full of drive. They often try many things at once, switch between activities, and leave some unfinished – whether a toy or a task – only to return later. Parents can support them by being patient when passions and interests change quickly.
A typical quality is their wish for efficiency: MG children like to skip steps to reach their goal faster. This can lead to impatience – whether crafting, at school, or in daily life. Variety and the freedom to try different things in parallel help them channel their great energy constructively.
Projector Children
About 20% of humanity are Projectors. Unlike Generators and Manifesting Generators, they don’t have a consistent inner energy source. Instead, they absorb a lot from their environment, which makes them sensitive to people and situations. At the same time, they need time alone and regular breaks – for example, after school – to release the energies, they’ve taken in and reconnect with themselves. It’s helpful if they go to bed before feeling truly tired and have their own room to sleep in.
Projector children are often called the Guides. They have a natural feeling for others and can help people find their place. They thrive when their talents are recognized. Appreciation and genuine attention are especially important for them.
In daily life, it supports them to be consciously invited, whether to play, to learn, or to join in shared activities. Projectors aren’t built for constant output, but they can be highly effective in a short amount of time.
Reflector Children
Only about 1–2% of humanity are Reflectors, making them the rarest type.
Also refered to as Mirrors, they deeply reflect their environment. Reflector children absorb what is happening in their family, classroom, or surroundings and reveal whether the environment is healthy and in balance.
These children often appear to need security and tend to stay on the sidelines to observe before becoming active themselves. A Reflector child blossoms in a harmonious, calm, and stable atmosphere. In a stressful or chaotic environment, they may become withdrawn, sad, or even physically unwell.
They benefit greatly from downtime and moments where nothing is expected of them – this helps them process impressions and return to themselves. Reflector children also need patience and time when it comes to decisions; it supports them not to be rushed into action.
In everyday life, time alone – in their own space – is just as essential for Reflector children as food and sleep.
