Empower your parenting, yourself, and who your child is meant to be with Human Design
Honor your authentic energy and emotional process, make better decisions, have more harmonious relationships, AND help your child do the same!
They say that children don’t come with instruction manuals, but they kind of DO — we ALL do. Your Human Design chart is a snapshot of the planets at the moment of birth, and 88 days prior to birth — a “life instruction manual” to one’s innate, energetic signature that can make life easier when you use it. Empower the physical and spiritual journey you and your child(ren) are here to make!
“The Human Design System is not a belief system....It is a concrete map to the nature of being, a mapping of your genetic code....Human Design opens the door to the potential of self-love, a love of life and the love of others through understanding.”
— Ra Uru Hu, founder of Human Design
Does this sound familiar?
The way we’re told that we “should” be, make things happen, work and hustle, and raise our children just doesn’t feel right or actually work!
You try and try to do things the way you’re “supposed” to, but end up angry, frustrated, bitter or disappointed with life.
Trying to “figure everything out” and “make things happen” is exhausting.
You wish you understood your child’s emotions and reactions, as well as your own, and could minimize power struggles.
You wonder how your child can be so different from you or your other children.
What worked with your first child doesn’t work with this one. Why do they… or why won’t they…? What does your child really need from you?
You want to parent differently than you were parented, and be the kind of parent who knows and supports their child’s unique gifts.
You’re anxious about raising a child in today’s too-much-too-soon, high pressure, overstimulating culture.
How will you protect their senses from being overloaded?
How can you support their bodily awareness?
You feel like you need to “find” yourself and want to feel more grounded as you navigate today’s fast, changing world.
You’re curious about tools for self-discovery, empowerment, and parenting, and are overwhelmed by it all.
Imagine being able to…
ALIGN with your AUTHENTIC energetic way of being and making decisions.
Discover what makes really makes you You and stop trying to be who you are not.
UNDERSTAND your child’s energetic needs for movement and sleep.
Does your child need more rest and time to unwind or have lots of energy to expend? How does that fit with your own energy needs?
SUPPORT your child’s creative and decision-making processes.
Do they have an internal creative flow or are they more influenced by their environment?
Does it serve them better to be asked open-ended questions or yes/no questions?
Envision and EMBODY a truer version of yourself as a parent.
Understanding your own energetic blueprint can help you stay true to yourself through the sacred transformation of becoming a parent.
Meet your child’s unique needs and set them up for more success, while honoring and modeling living in your own alignment.
RECONNECT with parts of yourself that may have been suppressed.
We’ve been conditioned to act certain ways and value mental processes that aren’t in our highest, truest good.
EMPOWER your child’s development and understanding of themselves.
Do they learn better by trying many different things for themselves or investigating deeply?
Is their life journey more about the relationships in their life or the personal experiences they have?
Work WITH each of your energy type’s needs and experience more of your signature theme (peace, satisfaction, success, or delightful surprise).
Do they have emotional reactions to work through or is their truth more “in the now?”
Have more EASEFUL interactions and address challenges with the foundational knowledge of how you and your child are meant to move through life.
Get out of your “monkey mind” and into your BODY.
Help your child(ren) get into and stay in their body and their authentic self — we all start there, before our conditioning causes us to hide parts of ourselves and get all up in our heads.
Gain CONFIDENCE in your ability to authentically parent the unique child you have.
Children are spiritual beings and the process of really incarnating into their bodies takes time, needs nurturing.
Parent the way you desire: mindful of daily rhythms, warmth, movement, and connecting with your little one(s).
Begin your parenting journey with the foundation of energetic alignment as you get to know your baby and who they’re here to be, and they will have less “conditioning” to work through when they’re older.
“You can see that everything about bringing Type and Strategy into the world, I’ve had to do this through adults, but it’s for children…. I don’t want to suggest that you don’t pay attention to the adults. As a matter of fact, it’s the only way you can save the children. But it’s about realizing what this knowledge is actually about. It is knowledge that you’re supposed to be able to give to your children when they come into the world. In other words, it’s foundation knowledge.”
— Ra Uru Hu, founder of Human Design

Human Design is called an experiment. This reading will give you the foundation to start experimenting with it to align your life and your parenting to your own and your child(ren)’s energy! This is where things can begin to transform.
You have questions?
I have answers.
-
Human Design tells us how our energetic bodies move and operate in the world around us.
It offers us strategies and insight on how to use our energy correctly so we can find personal alignment as we live our unique life purpose.
Human Design combines ancient and modern sciences. It synthesizes wisdom from the Chinese I-Ching, Western Astrology, Hindu Chakra System, and the Kabbalah Tree of Life. It integrates this wisdom with Genetics, Quantum Physics, and Biochemistry.
-
Both Human Design and astrology use your birthdate, time, and place information. Your astrology birth chart and Human Design chart are both a snapshot of the planets the moment you were born. Both are useful tools and complement each other.
Astrology focuses on the 12 zodiac signs (you probably know your sun sign), 12 houses, and the aspects the planets have between each other.
Human Design includes and goes beyond astrology with the planetary placements, and also adding aspects of the I Ching, Kabbalah Tree of Life, Hindu chakra system, and quantum physics. There are 64 gates correlating to our 64 codons of DNA. It uses your birth info, as well as where the planets were 88 days before your birth (when the soul entered).
-
I love Human Design and I love postpartum, so I put them together! ;) Whether or not you’re postpartum at the moment, HD is a useful tool for knowledge of yourself and those around you, and you learn about yourself as a parent during this (or any) season of life. I also offer in-home or virtual postpartum doula support.
-
You can select a reading for you and 1, 2, or 3 children when you go to my calendar page (buttons on this page). If you have more than 3 children, select the 3-children option, add the additional info, and I’ll let you know how much time we should add.

Hey, I’m Julie Behnken
Human Design enthusiast, holistic postpartum doula, and early parenting coach
I’ve learned a LOT along the way as a parent and want to share it with you!
I’ve been a parent for over 20 years, spending 13 of those years as a LifeWays (Waldorf-inspired) infant/toddler teacher, and, wow, I wish I had known about Human Design (and Waldorf philosophy) sooner! I have gained so much insight into myself and the important people in my life because of both. It’s an honor to support and empower people through the discovery of their Human Design, and I especially love supporting birthing people and their families on their journeys.
My Human Design and Astrology
As a sacral Manifesting Generator with a 2/4 profile and The Right Angle Cross of Penetration 2 incarnation cross, my Human Design orients me to “beginnings,” intuition, working with transformations, engaging with my community, responding to the environment around me, and embodying the physical as a means to transcendence. I am the parent of an emotionally-defined, 6/2 Projector, and Human Design helps me to support my son in the best way for him as he begins to make his way in this crazy world, and, in hindsight, it sheds light on struggles he faced when he was a young child. I can only imagine how I’d have parented differently (and better) if I’d known Human Design (and Waldorf philosophy) when he was very young. Better late than never, but the sooner, the better, too!
The astrological sign of Cancer is considered the cosmic mother archetype, and as a Cancer Sun and Rising, nurturing those who are becoming parents (or parents again) is my calling. My Taurus moon lends a sense of comfort, can find the beauty in things, and keeps things practical.
I’ve been into astrology for most of my adult life, and have been eagerly digging into Human Design since I discovered it in 2018, learning on my own and through live online programs.
Parenthood is a Sacred Transformation
Each person’s life, birthing, and parenting journey on this earth is unique to them, but societal norms and expectations, gender roles, and our American culture’s disregard for what people and families really need to thrive lead to most of us being conditioned out of what really serves us. We all experience challenges, but if you are all too familiar with the feeling of frustration, anger, bitterness or disappointment as you keep trying to do what you’re “supposed” to do, it’s time to uncover your unique energetic design. Just because something is COMMON doesn’t mean it’s NORMAL for you. Your type, strategy, authority, and profile are the guideposts for living the experiment of “your normal” that will truly serve you, and therefore, the world around you.
Becoming a parent is a profoundly transformational, SACRED time (whether for the first time or again). In the Waldorf philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, each child is a soul (a star child) who has chosen to incarnate on the earth with their chosen parents for this life journey. Human Design illuminates the soul’s purpose and gifts, based on the moment of birth and 88 days before birth. You are on a physical and spiritual journey with each other.
Julie Behnken is the owner and founder of StarSong Postpartum & Beyond, a postpartum doula and early parenting coach, postpartum nutrition coach, reiki practitioner, and a devoted Human Design enthusiast. After completing her LifeWays Early Childhood Certificate program, she was the owner of StarSong LifeWays Child Care for 10 years (a licensed, in-home Waldorf-inspired program and LifeWays representative site in Boulder, Colorado).
Julie loves to read, knit, eat good (gluten-free) food, learn and share information (often exploring “rabbit holes” of information about human design and astrology, holistic health, sleep, food, and organizing), and connect with her now-adulting son in Denver. She strives to be a better gardener and to do more yoga and Pilates. Julie lives in Colorado with her partner, Charlene, a 2/4 emotionally defined Generator and Leo.
Wow, thanks for reading to the end! Ready to get on my calendar and discover Human Design for your child and yourself?
