The short answer is, I don’t. There are so many incredible people specialising in this, or amazingly cheap and accessible resources that outline your overall design (which I have listed below and you can find more recommendations here). What I do with the tools offered by Human Design is apply them to what is happening in your current day-to-day life. Instead, the session is centred in a coaching-style with the material guiding us. It is my aim for the conversation and tools you discover to be useful and tangible as soon as you walk out the door. There is so much value in covering the basics, however, what we do during our time together is get granular in a way that feels like you are moving your life forward today with whatever outside circumstances are arising and presenting you with the opportunity to grow.

Human Design is such a rich tool. The information available in a chart runs deep and wide. So what is the difference between having a Human Design reading and working with a Human Design coach?
My approach to working with clients is to deep dive into the issues you are working with today. What is occurring in your life, where do you need to return to your inner guidance to help make choices, how can the information present in the tool and the chart be integrated to bring more ease into this very moment?
Through a coaching-based approach, a session is less about covering the A-Z of your chart, and more about integrating the relevant knowledge for your current life circumstances. If you are interested in covering the introductory basics first (which I highly recommend), I have put together a list of amazing resources to begin with. You can dive in here.

You will need your exact time, place and date of birth
-
If you are unsure of your exact time of birth, you can contact me via hello@madswilliams.com. I will run your birth date and the approximate timeframe you have through the chart generator to see how much your design changes throughout the course of the day. If there is enough accuracy for me to share with you, we can proceed with booking a session. Other tips for locating your exact time of birth are, contacting the hospital you were born at to see if they keep records, locating your birth certificate, or searching through baby books and photographs for timestamps
-
Absolutely! Sessions are held both in-person at Hackney Downs Studios or virtually via zoom. If you have a device with active WiFi, you’re ready to go baby!

I love a flexible schedule, so please email me at hello@madswilliams.com with your preference for time and date and let’s see what we can do

This information is life-changing, but only in the positive. I often find the information doesn’t feel particularly new to people, just incredibly reaffirming or a remembering of how they used to live before they thought they should do life a different way. Treating Human Design like an experiment is the best way to get the most out of the tool. How can you lean further into this information each minute, hour, day, until it becomes your new normal and you spend more time feeling aligned than unclear. So no, it won’t be scary, predict your future or tell you to break up with your high school sweetheart - I promise

Human Design can be amazing to get out of the mental chatter or loops you might be stuck in because it teaches you which part of your body should be making the small and major life decisions. My experience with HD is living by the principle that gradual choices made following the path communicated to you via your unique intuition will lead you to the right place, rather than the mind needing to have or know all the answers up front.
In terms of skills, a chart will not tell you which industry to be in, but it absolutely points out what your gifts are. This can be incredibly helpful when pairing it with the knowledge of what you actually like doing/what your interests are and exploring how you can spend more time bringing these gifts to the table in your daily life.

In my experience, a session is right for you if hearing about it caused your ears to prick up, your body to lean in or sparked a feeling of ‘there’s something there I want to explore’. The information can range from incredibly granular and practical to thematic and big-picture life-path material. If you are feeling slightly lost, looking for clarity, absolutely thriving and wanting to optimise life even further, this tool is for you. There really is no one that won’t benefit from learning more about themselves and embodying their true essence
-
Using the knowledge of human design is a daily practice. The how starts by stepping out of the mind and handing the decision making of your life back over to the part of your system that is designed to make choices for you. This might be how does your gut respond, how does it make you feel, or what does that little voice whisper to you. During a session we will get clear on your unique approach, and the how’s specific to you
-
This is completely led by your needs and your life. Some people will love to go deep, deep, deep into the chart and the information, applying it to their life and return regularly to gain further insights. In this case, the Deep Dive Package with voice note support over a 3 month period might be the best approach
Others might find one initial session gives them enough to play with for many months
My intention is to be available as much or as little as you might require, the way my friends now know they can voice note me with questions and I will pull up their design for guidance. I recommend jumping into a session and seeing which approach suits you
-
Absolutely! If it’s brand new to you, it might look like a foreign little illustrated alien, but the chart is modelled on the combination of four ancient modalities and systems - the I Ching, the Chakra system, Astrology and Kabbalah. This is my favourite place to see your design and learn the basics
-
I find it can be helpful to get a sense of the basics before a session. It’s absolutely not necessary, but for those who like to get the lay of the land first, or want some information now, now now, my favourite resource is the My Human Design App. You can opt for the free download and cover the very foundations, or pay for a monthly subscription and get a more in-depth experience

I adore Astrology and often find combining the information of your natal chart with your Human Design birth chart very helpful, particularly when exploring themes of your purpose. The information is different though. Human Design is focused on your individual mechanics, how your individual ‘machine’ or body works, whether you’re a Gemini or a Libra. It’s all welcome though, so please bring your knowledge and questions for exploring how they intertwine
