Step into the life you’re designed for.

Every path begins with knowing where you stand.

You’re not lost. You were just handed the wrong map.

Most people spend years following directions that were never meant for them, wondering why they feel so far from where they want to be. Human Design changes that. It's a map: precise, personal, and built entirely from the blueprint of who you are.

My coaching uses Human Design as its foundation and somatic awareness as its method, because understanding yourself on paper is only the beginning. The real shift happens when that understanding moves into your body, your decisions, your daily life. This is how you stop performing and start living as your true self.

You already know who you are. I'm here to help you see the full terrain of exactly who that is, so you can find your own direction and trust yourself to take the first step.

What is Human Design?

And why is it useful?

Human Design is a precise, personal map of how you're uniquely designed to move through the world. Rooted in several ancient and modern systems, it produces a blueprint that is entirely your own, offering the most aligned way for you to make decisions, use your energy, and show up in relationships.

Most people encounter their design and feel two things in quick succession: the relief of being seen for who they really are, and the permission to live as that person fully.

Which energy type are you?

Human Design identifies five distinct energy types, each with its own strategy, its own gifts, and its own particular permission slip. Most people recognize themselves immediately. Which one sounds like you?

Walk the path

1:1 Coaching

Primary offering

Ongoing work using your HD bodygraph as the foundation and somatic awareness as the method. This is where understanding becomes lived experience: where the map becomes the territory.


A Relational Reading can be woven in at any point to explore how your design intersects with those closest to you.

Group and Team Coaching

Collective design

HD for groups and teams: beginning with individual readings for each member, then exploring how those designs overlap. By lifting up and leveraging the unique strengths of each person, the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts.


Relational readings are woven throughout, because understanding how designs interact is how teams find their fullest collective potential.

Lightfall Revolution

There is a moment in every transformation when understanding stops being something you think and becomes something you live. When the map you've been studying becomes the territory you're walking.

Everything I do is building toward a framework for that moment: the Lightfall Revolution. A structured path from the life you inherited to the one you were designed for, moving through the work of rooting in what's true, crossing the threshold of what's possible, building the bridge between knowing and becoming, and finally spreading wings strong enough to carry you somewhere that is entirely, unmistakably yours.

The path is still being charted, and the people finding their way here now are the pioneers: the ones whose own transformation is quietly shaping the path others will one day walk.

If something in you already recognizes this, you're in the right place.

What if nothing is wrong with you?

Most advice assumes we're all wired the same way. Human Design offers a different perspective: what works brilliantly for one person may create frustration and burnout for another. Many of us spend years trying to fix ourselves when the real challenge is learning who we actually are beneath expectations, conditioning, and comparison.

Why do some people thrive using strategies that leave you exhausted?

Are you living according to your true design, or someone else's expectations?

How much energy are you spending trying to be someone you're not?

You were never meant to be like everyone else.

Discover why what works for others may not work for you, and how Human Design can help you reconnect with your natural strengths.

MEET THE COACH

I'm a Professionally Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a certified Human Design reader, though what that means in practice is less about credentials and more about what happens in the room.

I use Human Design as the foundation for all my coaching work, and somatic awareness as the method. Because the map is only useful if you can feel it in your body, not just understand it in your head. My background in dance isn't incidental to this: movement has always been how I understand what words can't quite reach, and that shows up in how I work with people.

What I'm here to do is help you stop following directions that were never meant for you, and start charting your own course. You already know who you are. I'm here to help you trust it.

I live in Newport, RI with my rescue pup Milo, and I always need to be within arm’s reach of the ocean. You can usually find me enjoying the city’s food and arts and culture scenes, sailing, shopping consignment, or getting ready to travel to Europe – again.

What People Are Saying

“I had a tangible next step.”

Olivia has a kind and calm presence which creates a comfortable environment to dive into anything that’s on your mind. It’s rare that you have a conversation with friends or family where you focus 100% on you and follow all your thoughts and feelings to their natural conclusion, but that’s what coaching sessions with Olivia allow you to do. Afterwards, I felt like I understood myself a bit better and had a tangible next step.

  • Abi, Legislative Affairs Specialist

“Makes me feel heard.”

Olivia makes me feel heard, and that’s because she listens. Not just to what I’m saying with my words, but also to the things I don’t yet have words for. She helps me find them.

  • Nikki, Senior Operations Analyst

“Allowed me to rebuild my confidence.”

I did a coaching session with Olivia when I was struggling with some “imposter syndrome” in a new leadership position. Olivia asked me questions that completely shifted how I was approaching the situation and allowed me to rebuild my confidence after one session.

  • Sam, National Anti-Trafficking Team Supervisor

“I walked away with calm and clarity.”

After an hour with Olivia, I walked away with calm and clarity, confident in my plan to tackle the personal and professional hurdles I was facing. I’ve found that a coaching session is a rare opportunity to dig deep and explore whatever is on your mind, often transforming what may have seemed insurmountable to a more manageable situation.
