Hi, I'm Etai
Embedded Files
I’m insatiably curious - a lifelong student of language, story, and the human experience.
My academic path reflects that curiosity. I hold three degrees: a B.A. in German-Jewish History and an M.A. in Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies with a concentration in Post-Holocaust Literature from The University of Connecticut, and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Transpersonal Psychology from John F. Kennedy University.
But credentials only tell part of the story.
I’ve always been fascinated by how we understand ourselves - and how we are understood by the world.
Language has been one of my lifelong playgrounds. At any given time I’m usually exploring eight to ten languages. For me, language isn’t about perfection - it’s about connection. It’s about building bridges across difference and helping people feel seen.
In December 2025, I became a Certified Human Design Guide and Teacher through the certification created by my mentor, Analena Fuchs.
Today my work centers on intuitive Human Design guidance.
Human Design - a synthesis of Astrology, the Chakra system, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and Quantum Physics - becomes, in my hands, a storytelling tool. A mirror. A map.
When I look at a chart, I don’t see a fixed identity, a box, or a verdict. I see possibility. Any chart holds the potential to tell an infinite number of stories about who we are. The alchemy of Human Design lies in choosing the story that feels most resonant and empowering right now.
When you sit down with me, it’s a collaborative exploration. The goal isn’t prediction - it’s permission.
Permission to choose your story.
Permission to live it fully.
Permission to step into your highest expression now.
Human Design as Exploration - My Story
Human Design as Exploration - My Story
Human Design entered my life through a long-standing curiosity about people, language, and the stories we live inside.
Growing up multilingual and later studying psychology, narrative therapy, spirituality, and archetypal wisdom, I became fascinated with how identity is shaped - not just by who we are, but by the stories we inherit and repeat. Living in a disabled body has also deeply influenced the way I understand embodiment, intuition, and what it really means to live in alignment.
Because of that, I don’t approach Human Design as a rulebook or a system that tells people who they are.
For me, it’s a language for exploration. A way to open conversations about identity, self-permission, and the narratives that shape our lives.
Recently I sat down with Kylie Patchett to chat about my story and how I came to see Human Design as a co-creative, conversational process rather than a rigid framework.
We talk about projected channels and invitation, why so many people end up trying to live their design backwards, and the difference between the conscious and unconscious aspects of the chart - including how others often see parts of us that remain invisible to ourselves.
We also dive into willpower, burnout, creative surges, and those moments when it feels like the accelerator is stuck down, as well as Chiron returns, healing cycles, and the way breakdowns can sometimes be initiations into something deeper.
At the heart of it all is storytelling.
Because the stories we tell about ourselves shape what becomes possible - and sometimes the most powerful shift is simply giving ourselves permission to rewrite them.
What people say about working with me
"My session with Etai was one of the most insightful Human Design explorations I’ve had.
He guided me through my chart — not just with knowledge, but with deep intuition, curiosity, and presence.
Etai asked powerful questions that helped me see aspects of my design I hadn’t noticed before. He mirrored back lived experiences in a way that felt grounding, validating, and expansive.
We also explored my Chiron return chart, and he supported me in understanding its current impact while offering tools to continue the inquiry myself.
Etai is not only incredibly knowledgeable, he’s also generous, enthusiastic, and deeply attuned. I highly recommend him to anyone ready to explore their design more fully — you’ll feel seen, supported, and inspired."

"Etai is a wealth of knowledge and intuitive insight regarding Human Design & Gene Keys. Our session unfolded so naturally and I had so many wonderful takeaways from it; yes as Pure ManiGen I need to do this thing now and everyone needs to get out of my way or else!😆
He also gave me some deep insights into my son's chart and why there is friction there at times but with Etai's knowledge about some of his channels and circuitry, it gave me more understanding about my son's design and as a result, was very heart opening for me.
It is very evident that Etai is in his zone of Genius when reading charts and with anyone who is lit up by what they do, it was such a delight to be part of that and come away with a deeper understanding of who we are.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Etai to anyone who is looking to have their Human Design and Gene Keys interpreted"

In the past 15 years, I've been a Human Design hobbyist and have had a few Human Design readings with different practitioners.
When I had a session with Etai spring of 2025, I got more inspired to study Human Design more seriously.
My interest was re-ignited because of the intuitive and integrative way Etai "read" my bodygraph which to me was easier to assimilate and I could relate to the information energetically.
It was not just a traditional reading. I enjoyed how we playfully explored together what my Human Design chart would reveal, some confirming and also with a few pleasant surprises that Etai pointed out which I haven't been explicitly aware of.
Thank you Etai for helping me see myself more clearly! :)"
