Have you sometimes felt alone and misunderstood? Reflectors are the rarest type in Human Design, making up just 1% of the population. Unlike Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, and Projectors, Reflectors have no defined centers in their chart. This makes you a highly sensitive, deeply perceptive person and uniquely able to mirror the health and energy of the people and environments around you.

There were years — decades — when I wanted to hurt myself almost every day. That longing began when I was seven, and for a long time I believed I had to earn acceptance, love, or worth. I chased validation through other people’s eyes, measuring myself by what others thought I deserved. What I’ve learned through spiritual awakening and steady inner work is that the place where the pain began is also the place that holds my healing: within.

Growing up, were you told to "follow the rules" or "stick to the plan"? If you're a Manifestor, that probably never felt natural to you. Manifestors aren't built to follow the rules or move in a straight line. You're here to carve your own path, often breaking traditions or bypassing systems that slow you down. Manifestors are the time benders in Human Design. You cut through red tape, see faster pathways, and find the most direct way to spark something new.

Have you ever felt out of place in the hustle culture of modern society? Do you feel more comfortable guiding others than getting your hands dirty? If so, you might be a Projector in Human Design. Projectors are guides, advisors, leaders, and visionaries, and roughly 22% of the population carries this unique Human Design.

Generators are the life force engines of the planet. You are the creators, builders, and doers, and make up 31% of the population. Your creative energy drives you, and when you’re doing what lights you up – watch out, world! With an open and enveloping aura that draws life to you like a warm campfire on a cool night, people want to gather around Generators.

Reflexology is based on the belief that certain areas on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems in the body.

Have you ever been told you were “too much?” If you’re a Manifesting Generator, you were literally designed from birth to be too alive to be boxed in. You’re here to fill in your life with the full box of crayons and by doing so, give others permission to break free too. You’re a passionate trailblazer who responds, initiates, and can do three things at once. And with 37% of the population falling into this category, you’re in good company.

Human Design is your unique blueprint for navigating this world, so I’m here to share my experience to shed light on what you could expect in your Human Design session. My name is Lisa, and I would consider myself a spiritual seeker. I’ve always questioned everything and wanted to get to the bottom of those big philosophical ideas. I take every opportunity for inward reflection, so when I heard about Human Design, I knew this was the next step to Help me better understand mys

You may have encountered personality tests like Enneagram or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which offer different approaches to understanding personality. In these tests you answer a series of questions to determine where you fall within their scale so you can glean insights about your personality. But Human Design is so much more than a personality test.

Although I have been using essential oils for over 10 years, I didn't start researching them until about a year ago. I was baffled by the difference in cost at the local drug stores or big box stores compared to companies that focus specifically on essential oils. Like many people, I was looking for ways to improve my overall health holistically and wanted quality products that were produced ethically and tested for authenticity. Not all are created equal. Let me explain.

Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is an alternative medicine practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, ears, and/or hands. This is accomplished without the use of oil or lotion by using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques.
