HUMAN DESIGN life AND LEADERSHIP coaching
Success isn’t just achievement - it’s how you feel achieving it.
It’s about the deeper alignment between who you are and how you live.
It’s the ability to regulate your nervous system under pressure, and the clarity to lead with presence.
Without this inner architecture, achievement feels hollow, costing energy, peace, and relationships.
With it, success becomes sustainable, meaningful, and expansive.
The next level requires a new you. One that’s less about doing more and more about becoming the architect of a life you can sustain.
This is where the Design a Life You Love Philosophy begins.
It’s not a quick fix. It’s a guiding principle for changed behaviour, anchored in science, powered by insight, and sustained by inner leadership.
“What truly sets Ann apart is the rare blend she brings: grounded, practical business acumen, the latest research and thinking from a neuroscience perspective, combined with expansive, spiritual insight”
What initially drew me to Ann was my curiosity about Human Design, but what I experienced over the initial 16-week program far exceeded my expectations. Ann’s depth of knowledge, especially around the nervous system, completely satisfied my thirst for learning and gave me a profound understanding of myself that rippled into every area of my life. I’ve not only transformed how I live, but also how I run my business. From pricing and marketing to client relationships, Ann’s guidance has been both strategic and deeply personal.
What truly sets her apart is the rare blend she brings: grounded, practical business acumen, the latest research and thinking from a neuroscience perspective, combined with expansive, spiritual insight. It’s this integration of the tangible and the ethereal that makes working with Ann so powerful. I now feel more aligned, empowered, and equipped, not just for my own growth, but also to support my clients in a deeper way. Working with her is the perfect blend of soul and strategy.

The Cost of Traditional Success
You’ve followed the rules. Built a career. Reached the milestones.
But instead of satisfaction, you feel an undercurrent of tension, mental fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and a gnawing sense that something’s missing.
Many high-performing professionals reach this threshold quietly. Outwardly, everything is “fine.”
But internally, there’s a disconnect: from meaning, from energy, from self.
You may find yourself…
Emotional flatness or disinterest in what once excited you
Loops of overwork, burnout, or problem-solving that never end
Scarcity around time, money, or energy despite visible success
A sense that productivity is costing presence with what matters most
A longing to build something lasting, but no blueprint for how
These aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signals.
Signals that the way forward isn’t more pushing - it’s deeper alignment.
This serves as the entry point to Designing a Life You Love - not just in theory, but in practice.

Where Science, Strategy, and Spirituality Meet
The Design a Life You Love Philosophy is a strategic framework for conscious living, anchored in cognitive neuroscience, shaped by Human Design, and supported by spiritual and behavioural insight.
It brings you back to your inner architecture, the unique configuration of your values, energy, mindset, and emotional wiring. When this architecture is steady, life no longer feels like performance without purpose. Success begins to align with meaning.
Through this work, you’ll develop interoception, the ability to sense and respond to your body’s signals, the foundation of emotional regulation. This is what makes presence sustainable.
These foundations build the capacity for:
Deliberate calm - steadiness in uncertainty
Frustration tolerance - the ability to hold pressure without collapse
Sturdy leadership - clarity, presence, and regulation that sustain performance without sacrificing yourself in the process
This is for professionals who want to:
Reconnect with their purpose and decision-making clarity
Navigate transitions or disconnections in their professional life
Feel more resilient in the face of pressure, change, or uncertainty
Build success from the inside out, not just based on external validation
Lead and live with presence, emotional regulation, and long-term energy
Create meaningful momentum toward their legacy, not just their next goal
These capacities also create the space to design a Lifestyle Portfolio - the outward expression of career, creativity, and contribution that reflects who you are, not just what you do.
“Ann has a special talent for making you see all the potential that often we can’t see in ourselves. ”
With her unique style of coaching, Ann has provided me with a powerful set of tools to consciously approach all areas of my life. After a year of working with her, I feel I am more aligned to my true self and I can design the life that works just for me.
Thanks Ann for your teachings, your endless support and your wit.

Success feels hollow without meaning. Let’s design both
This Coaching Is for You If…
You’re successful on paper, but something essential feels misaligned inside
You’ve started questioning whether achievement is worth the cost to health, relationships, or peace of mind
You crave presence and deeper meaning, but don’t want to burn everything down to find it
Your mind never switches off, constantly planning, problem-solving, or doubting
You find yourself stuck in repeating patterns: burnout, overgiving, or scarcity
You want to lead with clarity, resilience, and authenticity, but feel held back by old wiring
You’ve outgrown former versions of yourself, but aren’t yet sure what the next one looks like
You want to expand into more creative projects, consulting, or simply making space for what matters, but don’t feel you have the time, energy, or roadmap to begin
This work meets you exactly where you are, whether that means untangling the pressure of misalignment or finding the capacity to begin something new. Together, we build the inner architecture that makes time feel less scarce, energy more sustainable, and next steps clearer.
It honours both ambition and well-being. It balances strategic thinking with inner wisdom. And it creates the capacity to design a Lifestyle Portfolio that reflects your truth, not just external expectations.
I created the Design a Life You Love Philosophy because I’ve seen, personally and professionally, what happens when achievement is disconnected from alignment.
For years, I worked at the intersection of business strategy and human behaviour, helping high-level professionals meet external goals. But I witnessed, again and again, how many people were succeeding on the outside, while quietly struggling on the inside.
I believe that how we live is just as important as what we achieve.
As a certified coach with a background in behavioural science, ongoing M.Sc. studies in Neuroscience at King’s College London, and deep expertise in Human Design, I blend science, strategy, and spirituality to guide clients through real transformation.
I specialise in helping professionals understand and reshape their inner architecture, the emotional, mental, energetic, and neurological patterns that shape how we lead, relate, and thrive. Whether you’re navigating burnout, stuck in a cycle of overachievement, or simply ready to reconnect with your purpose, this work helps you build the capacity to flourish.
This is a calm, courageous, and customised space to come home to yourself while still moving forward in your work, relationships, and leadership.
If you’re seeking not just success, but sustainable clarity, presence, and impact, you’re in the right place.

“I feel so well equipped to gear up for the next stage in my life”
