What is Human Design?

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. It will provide insight into how you were divinely and uniquely created to reveal more facets of yourself than a personality test ever could. Because Human Design is based upon your birthday, it is often viewed as more of a blueprint and less self assessment-based approach than personality tests are. While Enneagram and MBTI are based on a self-reporting questionnaire, it is possible to influence the test based on your own beliefs about yourself as well as blind spots to personality aspects in your subconscious that can be fully reviewed with Human Design.

Human Design is less established than these personality tests, but rooted in ancient traditions. Allegedly, the system came to a former advertising executive and magazine publisher in 1987 following a mystical experience in Ibiza where “The Voice” shared the information for eight days and nights. Robert Allan Krakower later transcribed this information into the 400-page textbook The Human Design System and published it in 1992 under the pseudonym Ra Uru Hu. While not associated with any religious dogma, Human Design combines the Hindu Chakra system, Chinese I-Ching, Jewish Kabbalah, and Astrology. This personalized map of your unique energy and life blueprint is based upon your specific date, time, and place of birth. This unique timestamp can help guide you towards higher self-awareness, personal growth, and empower you to embody the best version of yourself you came here to be.

At the heart of Human Design coaching is the body graph. This graphic with lines, shapes, and numbers helps your coach interpret your unique design. You can get a customized graph for yourself online, but it can be mind boggling for the untrained eye to extrapolate all of the useful information hiding within. An experienced coach will be able to walk you through your profile lines, centers, strategy, and authority, as well as the nitty gritty of each channel and gate’s meaning, but you’ll start with your Profile Type.

What is a Human Design Profile Type?

Your profile type helps you understand the most effective way for you to harness the energy you were born with and how your aura works. It provides insight into your gifts and your role here on earth and in your relationships as well as practical everyday useful information like how much sleep you need, your optimal pattern for balancing work and daily life, and the energy levels available to you.

What are the 5 Human Design Profile Types?

Manifestors (9% of the population) are initiators, innovators, and disruptors, very comfortable sharing new ideas and movements and transforming anything they are a part of. Their strategy is to inform others of their intentions.

Generators (31% of the population) are creators, builders, and doers, driven by their creative energy while uplifting the world around them. Their strategy is to wait for something to spark a gut response before going after it.

Manifesting Generators (37% of the population) are creative forces and passionate doers, bringing ideas to life quickly while moving between a variety of passions. Their strategy is to respond to opportunities while also being able to initiate.

Projectors (22% of the population) are guides, advisors, leaders, and visionaries best known for their ability to recognize patterns and show the world a new way of doing things. Their strategy is to wait for recognition and then guide.

Reflectors (1% of the population) are observers, seers, and evaluators with a heightened sensitivity to their environment and powerful wisdom and objectivity. Their strategy is to wait a full lunar cycle before making decisions.

What does a Foundational Human Design Coaching Session Include?

Prior to your Human Design coaching session at Meridian Wellness, you’ll receive an intake form where you can share details about what brings you in for coaching and what is going on in your life. Your coach, Tammie Trippler, will review your answers as she prepares your body graph packet and then during the session, she’ll review how your Human Design is impacting the areas of your life where you have any concerns. This information includes an overview of your Profile Type, in addition to a deep dive into:

• 12 Profile Lines. These specifics help uncover major themes you will encounter during

this lifetime, illuminating your life purpose, and illustrate another way you interact with

the world. The Profile Lines encompass personality traits you are aware of and those

you may not be consciously aware of. Bringing both aspects up for inspection helps you

live more consciously in the world and offers opportunities for growth an expansion.

• 9 Centers. Frequently thought of as the chakras, the Centers don’t completely follow the

Hindu Chakra system.

• Head Center focuses on mental inspiration and pressure

• Ajna Center is responsible for intellectual processing and analysis

• Throat Center is associated with communication and manifestation

• G Center is linked to identity, direction, and love

• Heart/Will Center embodies willpower, value, and worthiness

• Solar Plexus Center is connected to emotional intelligence and awareness

• Sacral Center represents life force, creativity, and sexuality

• Spleen Center emphasizes intuition, health, and well-being

• Root Center deals with stress, adrenaline, and grounding

These Centers help you understand your strengths, weaknesses, and avenues for personal development. Defined Centers give you steady, reliable energy to help you feel clear in certain areas of your life. Open Centers can reflect your conditioning and by examining these, you bring into awareness where you may be making decisions in your life based on subconscious programming from others.

•  Strategy. Knowing which of the four Strategies (to respond, to inform, wait for invitation, and wait a lunar cycle) you operate under serves as a practical guide for navigating how opportunities come to you and helps you make decisions aligned with

your unique design.

•  Authority. The types of Inner Authorities include: Solar Plexus, Sacral, Splenic, Ego Manifested, Self-Projected, Ego-Projected, Mental, and Lunar Authorities. These reveal how you see and respond to the world around you. As you learn more about your unique Inner Authority, you will begin to trust your natural decision-making process and feel more aligned with your true self.

What Can You Expect to Take Away from a Human Design Coaching Session?

You’ll leave your Meridian Wellness coaching session with a practical guide to learning your true self. Hearing Tammie articulate aspects of your personality reflected in Human Design may provide a sense of relief that your experience of the world is exactly as it should be. Sometimes society attempts to shape us all into something uniform and we can struggle with conforming to that mold. With all the possible combinations in Human Design, no two charts are the same, so the best part of Human Design understanding you are a unique being. Having an understanding of your uniqueness will validate your experience and give you the freedom to be authentically you.

Want to Dive Deeper into Your Human Design?

Meridian Wellness offers a Comprehensive Human Design Session including everything above in the Foundational Session, but also the circuitry including 32 channels and 64 gates. In this session, you’ll explore the way your unique energy circulates through the channels. Everyone has an individual, tribal, and/or collective circuitry in their chart, providing a greater understanding of how you have been conditioned and how to live more authentically.

How Does My Human Design Affect My Relationships?

In a Relationship Human Design Session at Meridian Wellness, you will have the opportunity to look at two people’s charts to explore how you navigate the relationship. This can help you understand behaviors of the other person, communication styles, and may improve relationships as you embrace their unique Human Design. This exploration of two Foundational

Sessions, isn’t just for couples. This could be beneficial for parent and child relationships as well

as friendships or business partners.

Who is Tammie Trippler, Human Design Coach?

Tammie Trippler was trained under Karen Curry Parker’s Quantum Human Design Program.

Karen expanded Ra Uru Hu’s original work with Quantum verbiage and concepts and published

her own book, The Encyclopedia of Quantum Human Design. Karen states in the book “My purpose for this new language is to give you a more aligned way to tell the story of who you are, find healing in these words, and find the language that helps your soul feel truly seen. I have deliberated engineered the Human Design vocabulary to a powerful, positive, higher vibrational frequency of energy to help you fully activate your potential."

About two years ago, Tammie first came across Human Design and she was immediately intrigued. The researcher and scientific aspect of herself that led her to obtaining a Master’s Degree in Nursing was sparked by the layers on intricacy Human Design provides, so eight months ago she began a deep dive into Karen’s program. Tammie has already completed three of the four total levels so she is able to perform the foundational readings as well as the circuitry involved in her Comprehensive Human Design Session.

Tammie is a 5/1 Manifesting Generator with a profile line 1, which is to understand, analyze, and research, so that aspect of her personality plays into her wanting to learn all about Human Design. In her role as your Human Design coach, Tammie can be a leader who is able to guide you with practical wisdom. She loves watching clients light up as they work through each area of the body graph and pull back the layers to examine the authentic person you were born to be.

Are You Ready To Discover Your Human Design?

During 2025, Tammie has a goal to read and review as many body graphs as possible so she can become even more fluent with her coaching skills and the prices reflect that! So, if you’re thinking about scheduling a session, you’ll want to do it soon as prices will be increasing in 2026.

FAQs

Can I have a reading if I do not know my time of birth?

Yes, however it is not a perfect system and is determined on statistics. Without a time of birth, you will not receive a body graph with the circuitry, but you will have a great understanding of your strategy, authority, and type which will give you an incredible amount of information!
