About Ann Smyth
A Human Design Life and Leadership Coach Who Understands You
I’m thrilled you’re here. If you’re a driven professional who’s outwardly successful but feels a deep contrast between your external achievements and internal fulfilment, you’re in the right place. I know that space well, and I’ve built my coaching practice to guide people like you back to balance, purpose, and joy. Together, we’ll create space in your life to reconnect with what truly matters, allowing you to align your present actions with the future you envision.
A Journey Built on Science, Strategy, and Spirituality
Like many of my clients, I started my career by achieving traditional success in the corporate world. I was doing everything I was “supposed” to, but something was missing. I searched for more freedom, meaningful connections, and a deeper sense of fulfilment. That’s when my journey shifted.
It started with Human Design, which helped me understand my unique energy, decision-making style, and how I interact with the world. This opened the door to a profound transformation. I went on to earn a Diploma in Strategy, Innovation, and Change from Smurfit Business School and I am currently undertaking my Master's in Neuroscience from King’s College London, bringing both scientific and strategic depth to my work.
Today, I combine these tools—Human Design, nervous system regulation, and neuroscience—to help professionals like you create lasting, sustainable success. Our work will help you balance your internal and external worlds and lead a life that feels authentic and deeply fulfilling. Together, we’ll create a future you're proud of by making space in the present to act with clarity and purpose.
Your Struggles Are Understandable—And Solvable
Does this sound familiar? You’re achieving your career goals, but you feel like you’re sacrificing the things that truly matter—your time, relationships, and personal well-being. You may be stuck in cycles of workaholism, feeling constantly "on," or disconnected from what brings you real joy. You might have an inner knowing that external success is no longer enough.
That’s because real fulfilment comes from aligning your internal desires with your external reality. That’s where I come in—helping you break free from these cycles and create meaningful, lasting change. I guide you in creating space to recognise whether your current thoughts and behaviour patterns are anchored in the past or the future. With that awareness, you can confidently make choices that align with the future vision you have for yourself.
Empowered Authenticity: Unveiling My Journey with Human Design
In my personal growth journey, discovering Human Design was a pivotal chapter. It illuminated a path to my true, authentic self, guiding me towards a life of greater consciousness, alignment and unwavering authenticity.
Understanding myself as a 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator in Human Design provided deep insights into my energy, decision-making, and interactions. This knowledge heightened my awareness, helping me make choices that resonate with my core.
This newfound understanding extends to my leadership roles, allowing me to inspire and lead authentically in both personal and professional spheres. It empowers me to create environments where growth, innovation, and authenticity thrive.
Human Design and mu neuroscience studies have transformed how I approach relationships, work, and personal goals. It fine-tunes my ability to seize aligned opportunities and face challenges with unwavering purpose. It's a beacon of light, redefining my approach to every aspect of life.
What Makes My Approach Different
You deserve to feel fulfilled both professionally and personally. My coaching approach blends science, strategy, and spirituality to guide you in balancing your internal and external worlds. Together, we’ll move beyond quick fixes and get to the root of what’s holding you back, allowing you to lead from a place of clarity, calm, and confidence.
With me, you’ll experience:
Compassionate Coaching: I take the time to truly understand you, your goals, and your unique design.
A Personalised Approach: No two clients are the same. I tailor each coaching journey to your Human Design, life circumstances, and personal goals.
Science-Backed Support: With my background in neuroscience, we’ll explore how your brain, nervous system, and decision-making processes affect your day-to-day life—and how to make them work in your favour.
Sustainable Change: This isn’t about temporary solutions. We’ll build lasting strategies that empower you to create a life of true balance and purpose by being an example today and leaving a legacy through your daily actions.

A Little More About Me
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me enjoying life’s quiet, meaningful moments—whether that's practising Pilates, savouring a beautiful meal, or immersing myself in a good book. I’m a lover of cashmere and timeless films, and autumn feels like a warm hug to me, just like a classic Nancy Meyers film. Books on leadership, spirituality, and neuroscience are my constant companions, and my passion for learning keeps me exploring new insights I can bring to our sessions together.
My Journey to Authenticity: Human Design, Nervous System Regulation, and Neuroscience
Human Design was the catalyst that set me on the path to personal authenticity. As a 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator, I learned to understand my unique energy and make decisions aligned with my true self. This knowledge transformed how I approach life and work.
However, I realised that nervous system regulation was essential to fully embody who I was meant to be. I’ve integrated nervous system work to help clients manage stress, balance their energy, and lead with calm and confidence, particularly in high-pressure environments. This approach supports long-lasting change by helping you feel more aligned with who you are on the inside, creating space to ensure your actions are intentional and aligned with your future self.
To deepen my understanding, I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Neuroscience, which allows me to bring cutting-edge insights into how our brains and nervous systems shape behaviour, decisions, and stress management. By combining neuroscience, Human Design, and nervous system regulation, I guide clients through a holistic transformation that aligns their internal world with their external reality, empowering them to take action today that will positively impact their future.
