Exploring Patterns through Human Design, Creative Practice, and Embodied Awareness
Human Design
You've come to the right place if you find yourself wondering...
- Why some decisions feel clear and natural while others leave you feeling stuck or uncertain.
- Whether there is a way of moving through life that requires less forcing and more trust in your own internal signals.
- Why certain patterns continue to appear in relationships, work, or personal choices.
- How stress, conditioning, or the nervous system responses might influence the way you experience the world.
- Whether your sensitivity, perception, or intuition might actually be a meaningful part of how you are designed to operate.
- How understanding your Human Design chart might offer a clearer language for things you have already sensed about yourself.
- If creative exploration, reflection, or art might offer a different pathway to insight and awareness.
- How embodiment, awareness, and observation can deepen the process of self-understanding.
If these questions resonate with you, you may find value in exploring the work offered here.
Human Design
Human Design is a system for understanding how individuals are uniquely made to process information, and move through the world. Think of it as a map to understanding how you are meant to make decisions and where you are conditioned to be something you are not.
It combines insights from several traditions, including astrology, the I Ching, and the chakra system. It is not a spirituality or belief system, but instead a bodygraph chart that illustrates how different aspects of a person’s energy and perception tend to function.
At its core, Human Design offers a framework for observing patterns in how we operate. It describes different energetic types, decision-making styles, and areas where people may be more consistent or more influenced by their environment. Rather than prescribing a way someone should live, the system encourages people to notice how their own design expresses itself in everyday life.
Many people find that learning about their chart offers a new language for understanding things they may have already sensed about themselves. It can highlight natural strengths, reveal patterns of conditioning, and offer a different perspective on relationships, work, and personal decision-making.

What I Offer
I offer Foundational Chart readings, that will give you a good understanding of your energetic type, your strategy and authority (how you make decisions), your profile, not-self strategies of your open centers, weak points, bridging gates, and how and where you are meant to digest food and information.
I also provide private one-on-one sessions that start with a foundational chart reading and moves into integrating Human Design with nervous system awareness from polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems informed reflection, and Reiki energy work. These sessions focus on helping individuals understand how stress patterns, conditioning, and nervous system states interact with their design and decision making.
Alongside foundational readings, I teach introductory Human Design workshops designed to help people understand the basics of a Human Design chart and how their energy functions. In these small group classes participants learn the foundations of Human Design, including energetic types, authority, and how different people are designed to make decisions and interact with the world.
The goal of these workshops is to give people a clear, accessible introduction to Human Design so they leave with a basic understanding of their chart and a framework for observing themselves in daily life.
I also facilitate Art Therapy workshops that focus on creative nervous system reset, which combines polyvagal-informed nervous system education with neurographica art therapy. This process uses guided line work and creative flow to help regulate the nervous system, process emotions, and reconnect with the body.
Modalities & Perspectives
I am a Human Design educator, certified polyvagal therapist, Reiki Master, artist, and writer whose work explores how people come to understand themselves.
For more than two decades I have been drawn to questions around perception, trauma, and the internal signals that guide human behavior. My early studies began in the seminary and continued through training in spiritual counseling, where I first explored faith-based perspectives on healing and systems such as personality typing and the enneagram.
Over time my work expanded into other frameworks including Human Design, polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems–informed reflection, energy work, and the relationship between nutrition and mental health. Across these different approaches, a common thread has remained: understanding how people process experience and how awareness can reshape the patterns we live within.
Creativity has always been another important part of this exploration. Through photography, visual art, and writing, I continue to examine many of the same questions through observation, form, and perception.
Workshops
Interested in Hosting a Workshop?
I offer educational and creative workshops designed for community spaces, wellness centers, art studios, and retreat environments. These gatherings are thoughtful, accessible, and designed to introduce participants to new ways of understanding themselves through both learning and direct experience.
Human Design Educational Workshops
These workshops introduce the foundational principles of Human Design, helping participants understand energetic types, decision-making styles, and the basic mechanics of a chart. The focus is an introductory course on making the system approachable and practical so participants leave with a clear framework for observing their own patterns in everyday life.
Art Therapy Workshops
These creative sessions explore the connection between art, perception, and the nervous system. Using the practice of Neurographica Art Therapy, along with an education on Polyvagal Theory, participants engage creativity as a way to slow down regulate attention, and explore emotional and sensory awareness. No artistic experience is required.
Interested in Collaborating?
I also enjoy collaborating with other practicioners, educators, and retreat facilitators. My work integrates easily with many wellness, leadership, and creative programs, offering participants a deeper layer of self-understanding through Human Design, embodied awareness, and reflective practices.
