A new kind of professional: the Human Design Life Coach

There are people who can read your chart. There are people who can coach you. Almost nobody is trained to do both in the same hour, and fewer still can charge for it.

This certificate trains all three at once: the system, the client work, and the business. Start from zero in Human Design and finish as a working coach, taught from Ra Uru Hu’s source by LaVeena B. Archers, PhD, Education Director of Jovian Archive.

  • ✓ Fundamentals, HD Professional, and Business Basics
  • ✓ No prior Human Design background required
  • ✓ Client agreement, boundaries, and referral protocol included

The gap this certificate fills

Two professions exist. The one your clients actually want does not.

What exists

The analyst

Trained to read a chart with precision. Delivers a superb ninety minutes, then the client goes home holding a document and no idea what Tuesday looks like now.

What exists

The life coach

Trained to hold a client over months. Works from a model built for the average person, so the Projector gets Generator advice and burns out on schedule.

What your clients want

The Human Design Life Coach

Someone who knows the mechanics well enough to stop explaining them, who stays in the room for the months it takes a person to trust their own authority, and who runs it as a business rather than a hobby.

This certificate produces the third one. That is the whole point of it.

Human Design Life Coach Certificate

Three programs, taken as one path

Most people assemble this badly over four years and give up somewhere in the middle. This is the same route, in order, with the business layer attached.

What this is

  • The full fundamentals sequence, starting from no background at all
  • HD Professional: the client-facing practice training
  • Business Basics for Beginners: entity structure, brand, workflow, and finance
  • Live discussion, demonstrations, and Q&A with a working cohort
  • A sample client/coach agreement and a clear referral protocol

What this is not

  • The professional Analyst certification. That is a separate, longer path
  • Generic coaching with Human Design language added afterwards
  • A therapy, counseling, or clinical credential of any kind
  • A weekend certificate you print and frame
  • Pre-recorded content with nobody to ask
By the end of this certificate

What you will be able to do on a Monday morning

Read any chart cold

Calculate it, read it, and talk about it accurately without reaching for someone else’s summary of what it means.

Run a session by design

Open, pace, and close a coaching hour differently for a Projector than for a Manifesting Generator, without announcing that you are doing it.

Coach the hard middle

Stay useful when a client is in the emotional wave, gripped by splenic fear, or sacrally flattened, instead of rescheduling until it passes.

Set professional boundaries

Recognize clinical territory, refer out cleanly, and work inside a written agreement that protects the client and you.

Sell something specific

An offer with a price and a shape, built around your own design rather than a template borrowed from a different chart.

Carry a credential that describes the work

Human Design Life Coach: a named, teachable method behind what you do, and colleagues who can vouch for it.

What is included

The three parts, in order

Video training, live Zoom discussion and demonstrations on the first two parts; self-paced written lessons and downloadable worksheets on the third. Each part ends where the next one starts.

01

Fundamentals $1,650 value

Learn the system properly

Three courses, in the order the material was built. You finish able to read a bodygraph and talk about it accurately, which is the floor for everything that follows.

  • Living Your Design Awakening Your own experiment first. Type, Strategy, Authority, the not-self, and the deconditioning process, run on yourself before you ever run it on a client.
  • Human Design ABC's - Diving Into the Matrix (Fundamentals 1) Personality and Design, the circuits and circuitry, the streams of awareness, and the hexagram lines. This is where you start actually reading charts.
  • Human Design Cartography (Fundamentals 2) The full map, and the prerequisite for every advanced program in the system. Two volumes of material with the mechanics worked through rather than summarized.

Outcome: You can calculate, read, and speak about any chart without reaching for someone else’s summary.

02

HD Professional previously Coach By Design $3,294 value

Coach a real person with it

Knowing the mechanics and using them on someone who is paying you and struggling are different skills. This part teaches the second one.

  • Coaching by design, not chart reading How listening and presence change once a client’s design is in the room, and how to speak so they recognize themselves rather than memorize a label.
  • Coaching each Type and Authority What a Projector needs from you that a Manifesting Generator does not. What each Type will do to please you, and how the session has to change shape for each.
  • Melancholy, fear, and energy overwhelm Staying useful when a client is in the emotional wave, gripped by splenic fear, or sacrally flattened, without pathologizing any of it.
  • Working with the shadows The not-self themes as they show up in a session: bitterness, frustration, anger, disappointment. What to reflect, when to stay silent, how to keep the client in their own experiment.
  • Session engagement strategies Structuring a first session, a package, and a long engagement. Pacing, homework that matches a client’s design, and what to do when nothing seems to be moving.
  • Agreements, boundaries, and when to refer out A sample client/coach agreement you can adapt, and the clearest professional boundary in this work: recognizing clinical territory, saying so, and handing off well.

Outcome: You can run a full engagement from first session to close, including the hard middle where clients want to quit.

03

Business Basics for Beginners 7 modules, 58 lessons

Run it as an actual business

The part most training leaves out, which is why so many well-trained practitioners have no clients. Written for someone starting from zero, and heavier on the unglamorous parts than you expect: entity structure, cash flow, tax, and the paperwork.

  • Introduction to Building an HD Business Your business idea, your market and target audience by design, and a Human Design business plan. Opens and closes with a worksheet you fill in for your own chart.
  • Selecting Your Business Structure The longest module, and the one nobody else teaches: sole proprietorship, LLC, S Corp, PMA, DBA, and Section 508(c)(1)(A), each with what it protects and what it costs you.
  • Building Your Brand and Marketing Strategy Your signature offer, brand identity aligned to your Profile and your Definition, social and online marketing, and recovering from burnout when the marketing is what burned you.
  • Creating a Simple & Effective Daily Workflow Time-blocking, managing energy against burnout, building a landing page in Canva, and scaling with virtual assistants and automation.
  • Financial Management and Growth Strategies Budgeting, cash flow, pricing for profitability, securing funding, tax planning and compliance, and what scaling actually requires.
  • Business Resources The reference shelf: client attraction, sales and closing, legal and compliance, website and payment processing, email marketing, systems, SOPs, and delegation.
  • BONUS: Sales by Human Design Type & Authority Professional students only Six lessons on selling without working against your own design. Email and DM scripts written per Type, pitch structure shaped by how an audience reaches clarity rather than by a countdown, sales call frameworks, meeting an objection without pushing through a body that is telling the truth, and decision timing per Authority. This section is open to professional students only.

Outcome: You leave with a business that is set up, priced, and legally structured, rather than a certificate and good intentions.

This certificate is for you if

You want the whole path, not another class.

There is no prerequisite. Complete beginners and coaches already charging for their time take this side by side.

  • Coaches already in practice who keep reaching for Human Design and want a method instead of an instinct.
  • Complete beginners who want to arrive as a professional rather than as a hobbyist with opinions about their Type.
  • Therapists, healers, and practitioners adding a coaching offer that respects a client’s mechanics.
  • Human Design students heading toward client work who can read a chart and freeze when a real person cries.
  • Career changers leaving a service-based helping role and looking for one that finally fits their own design.

What people who now coach for a living say

“Before studying with Laveena, I already felt deeply drawn to Human Design. But through her way of teaching Ra’s transmission, something changed. The knowledge stopped being something I was trying to understand from the outside. It started to move through my body, through my work, through the way I see people, and through the way I hold space. What I value so much in Laveena is that she honors that transmission. She does not stand in front of it. She serves it. And once you have seen someone mechanically, you cannot really go back to seeing them in the old way.”
Marieke Schnoing-Gels Human Design Coach & Leadership Facilitator · Professional Analyst Training
“She has the gift of recognizing potential and guiding students through personalized training, empowering them to reclaim their unique authority — that freedom to live in alignment with their authentic selves.”
Dhanesh Chandrasekhar Human Design & Yoga Teacher
“What stands out in her approach is the way she translates complex material into something practical and applicable. Instead of remaining in theory, the knowledge becomes usable in daily life.”
Alvaro "Pao" Delgado Executive Chef
“Learning from Laveena feels like sitting next to Ra and the truest source of Human Design. She takes complex ideas and makes them simple in ways that actually transform you.”
Michelle Pecak Founder & CEO

Questions people ask before enrolling

What is a Human Design Life Coach?

A Human Design Life Coach works with clients over time using their chart as the working map: Type, Strategy, Authority, and Variable inform how the coach asks questions, sets homework, and paces the engagement. It is a coaching relationship rather than a one-off chart analysis. This certificate is the training that produces one, covering the system, the client work, and the business in a single path.

What is included in the certificate?

Three programs, taken together. Fundamentals: Living Your Design Awakening, Human Design ABC's - Diving Into the Matrix as Fundamentals 1, and Human Design Cartography as Fundamentals 2. HD Professional, previously published as Coach By Design, which is the client-facing practice training. And Business Basics for Beginners: 58 self-paced lessons across 7 modules on entity structure, brand, workflow, and finance, including a sales section open to professional students only. Bought separately, the four priced parts come to $4,944; Business Basics carries no price of its own.

Do I need any Human Design background to start?

No. The certificate starts at Living Your Design, which assumes nothing, and moves through the fundamentals before any client work. It is built for someone starting from zero as well as for a coach already in practice who wants the system underneath what they already do.

How is this different from Human Design certification?

A certification trains chart analysis to a professional standard and takes years. This is a certificate of completion across three programs, aimed at coaching rather than analysis: it teaches the system, then the client relationship, then the business. If you want the analysis credential instead, Living Your Design Guide certification is $1,800 and Analyst Level I is $3,450, both at /certification.

Can I take just one part?

Yes. The fundamentals courses and HD Professional are all sold individually at /courses, and HD Professional is included at no extra charge with either certification enrolled through online checkout. Business Basics for Beginners has no standalone price. The certificate is the parts taken together as one path, which is what makes it a credential rather than a stack of classes.

Is this a license to practice therapy or clinical care?

No. Coaching is not therapy, medical care, or mental health treatment. Recognizing clinical territory and referring out is taught inside HD Professional, and the certificate says you are trained to coach with Human Design, which is what it says honestly.

How is the training delivered?

On HumanDesign.Live. The fundamentals and HD Professional run as video training with illustrated materials, live Zoom discussion, demonstrations, and real-time Q&A, with the recordings kept. Business Basics is self-paced written lessons with downloadable worksheets and two video lessons. Community access comes with all of it.

What this certificate claims, and what it does not

It certifies completion of three programs and trains you to coach with Human Design. It is not a license to practice therapy, counseling, medical care, or mental health treatment, and it does not represent itself as one. Recognizing when a client needs a clinician, and handing off well, is taught inside HD Professional. That boundary is taught because a coaching practice built without it does not survive contact with real clients.

Your clients are already asking you Human Design questions.

The training exists for everything after the chart: the months of someone learning to trust their own authority, with you in the room and a business that pays you for it.
