THE Design A Life You Love Philosophy
Live and Lead in Alignment: Harmonise Your Inner and Outer Worlds
You’ve achieved external success, but deep inside, something still feels out of place. Perhaps you find yourself constantly sacrificing what truly matters—your happiness, your time, and your personal connections—in exchange for professional achievements. You don’t have to choose between external success and authentic joy.
The Design A Life You Love Philosophy helps high-level professionals like you, realign their inner world—their values, identity, and desires—with their outer success. This program combines the wisdom of Human Design, nervous system regulation, and neuroscience to help you live and lead with deliberate calm and confidence while advocating for your needs. Through this process, you’ll uncover how to live a life that doesn’t require constant compromise and discover how to experience happiness, fulfilment, and joy alongside your success.
To design a life you love, you’ll also need to step outside your comfort zone. This journey involves developing new skills and changing long-standing patterns of behaviour and thinking. By pushing past old ways of doing things, you’ll create sustainable transformation and build a life where success is aligned with who you are at your core.
Escaping Social Acceleration:
Creating Space for Intentional Living
In today’s fast-paced world, where technological advancements and increasing demands create a sense that time is always speeding up, many of us are left feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin. We’re always trying to keep up—juggling tasks, maintaining productivity, and responding to endless requests, all at the cost of our well-being, personal connections, and joy. As the world moves faster, it can feel like you're stuck on a treadmill—trapped in cycles of pressure, workaholism, stress, and even guilt for not keeping up or spending time on what truly matters
However, in our pursuit to keep up with this fast-paced world, we often lose sight of what truly matters. We may find ourselves trapped in situations that no longer serve us, in roles or careers that provide little satisfaction. While we’re busy trying to meet external expectations, we neglect our internal needs, and the feeling of being unfulfilled continues to grow.
This program is designed to help you step off that treadmill. It’s about slowing down to speed up—making intentional choices that align with your inner values and desires. By integrating nervous system regulation, Human Design, and neuroscience, you’ll regain control of your time and energy, aligning your actions with what truly matters. This doesn’t mean giving up your professional success; rather, it’s about recalibrating your life so that you can achieve your goals without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or personal happiness.

“Working with Ann was one of the best investments I have made in myself.”
I came to her during the most challenging period in my life and was looking for guidance on how to move forward in my career. What I ended up getting was so much more. I gained a greater understanding of myself, a greater connection to my intuition and authenticity, and a clear path forward toward my purpose and goals. Every session with Ann is gold and I always come away feeling more grounded, more empowered, and with greater clarity on the next steps in my life. I’m forever grateful to her.

From burnout to falling in love with life again
“To say that working with Ann was life-changing, would be an absolute understatement.”
Before working with Ann, I had experienced significant burnout in both my professional and personal life and my mental health was at a critical point. I began looking for a life coach that used Human Design and I found Ann. From our first conversation, she made me feel heard and understood. The information she has taught me about myself and how I navigate through life was invaluable. She helped take me from a person that was suffering from debilitating depression and anxiety to a completely confident mom and business owner. I have had a lot of traditional therapy in my life, but was really looking for someone to help me get “unstuck.” I had a very bleak overview of what my life looked like and now I can’t wait to get started on all of the plans that Ann and I made during our sessions.
I always had access to Ann via Voxer and her insightful and positive messages kept me going in between our sessions. I loved our work together so much that I am going to continue to meet with her regularly to keep on track. Ann was instrumental at helping me look at my life and figure out what was working and what wasn’t. She has given me the tools to move confidently throughout my life and to be genuinely happy. To say that working with Ann was life-changing, would be an absolute understatement.

“What I thought were my weaknesses is the way I am and I now embrace it. This is so freeing and empowering!”
Ann has been coaching me for a couple of years. It is difficult to explain the impact she had on my life! At first Ann challenged my thought process with grace, helping me create the life I wanted, a life with purpose, a life where my work is built around my biggest treasure: my family. Becoming an entrepreneur was/is not an easy journey being challenged all the time with all the syndromes you can have: the imposter syndrome, the shiny object syndrome, doubting all the time on what I am doing…etc. Doing the deep work has brought me to the next level, professional (and of course personally). What I thought were my weaknesses is the way I am and I now embrace it. This is so freeing and empowering! I can now recognize my fears and self-sabotaging patterns when they arise. Ann taught me how to walk alongside and master them. I learned what I need to be in my own energy, and when this happens, magic unfolds! Every time!
Ann is extremely knowledgeable and talented. She will explain the most complex “woo woo” concept about your Human Design and Gene Keys in a simple pragmatic way, and how you can apply it in your daily personal and professional life! Ann’s tough love is what I appreciate the most! She will not only be there for you, she will challenge you to think outside of the box you have been living in and she will push you to do the work! You will always be on top of her mind. She is there to empower you to become the leader of your dreamed life. I loved getting messages from her between sessions “ Benedicte, I have been thinking of you, and this week what about reflecting on… etc.” Beautiful, gentle, generous and graceful heart, Ann. Thank You for making me more magnetic!
