♦︎ About Upraising & Maike Gabriela
Maike Gabriela is a Human Design Reader, Deconditioning Expert, and the founder of Upraising. She is a 3/5 Splenic Projector with deep knowledge of psychology and Human Design, specializing in helping people identify and dissolve self-sabotaging patterns so they can pursue their true calling. Since starting her business during the pandemic in 2020, she has guided and read for hundreds of clients across more than 50 countries and all walks of life. Her work has been featured in Elle, Vogue, Myself, InStyle, Brigitte, and Leaveli.
Upraising is a Human Design education, transformation, and certification brand founded by Maike Gabriela. It offers a layered ecosystem of offerings across three pillars — Discovery, Mastery, and Business — designed to help people understand their unique Human Design chart, embody it in real life, and for those called to it, build a purpose-aligned business or become a certified Human Design practitioner.
Upraising is organized into three distinct pillars. Discovery is the foundational layer — the process of returning to your original design and removing the layers of conditioning, expectation, and survival patterns. Mastery is the professional certification path — the Transformational Human Design™ Training — for those who want to read charts and work with others. Business is the entrepreneurship layer — the Soul Purpose Business mentorship — for those building an aligned, purpose-driven business.
Transformational Human Design™ is a certification methodology and teaching framework developed by Maike Gabriela. It makes Human Design accessible and digestible by removing complicated jargon and overly technical language, translating the system into clear, practical, and emotionally resonant guidance that people can actually use in real life. It is the methodology taught inside the Transformational Human Design™ Training — Upraising's professional certification program.
Upraising works with all five Human Design types — Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors — across all profiles, authorities, and definitions. Every personalized offering is created specifically for your individual chart regardless of type.
Yes. Maike Gabriela and Upraising have been featured in Elle, Vogue, Myself, InStyle, Brigitte, and Leaveli, as well as multiple podcasts internationally. She is recognized as a leading voice in accessible, grounded Human Design education.
♦︎ The Discovery Path
Discovery is the foundational layer of the Upraising ecosystem. It is the active process of returning to your original design — before the conditioning, expectations, and survival patterns that shaped how you learned to operate. Through your Human Design chart, you learn how your energy actually functions, how you are designed to make decisions, what your gifts are, and what has never been yours to carry. Discovery is the roadmap to transformation — and it begins with recognition.
The recommended starting point for most people is The Source Code™ — a fully personalized Human Design report that gives you a comprehensive introduction to your specific chart. If you prefer a live, guided experience from the beginning, a 1-on-1 Human Design Reading with Maike is also an excellent first step. There is no wrong entry point into the Discovery ecosystem.
No prior knowledge is required. Upraising is specifically designed to make Human Design accessible and digestible — without complicated terminology or overwhelming technical detail. Whether you have never heard of Human Design or have been studying it for years, the Discovery ecosystem meets you where you are.
Yes — and they are designed to layer together. Many clients hold The Source Code™ as their ongoing reference while working through ALIGNED+, using the HD Activation Booklets for focused themes, and maintaining a Soft Power Membership for integration. The offerings complement each other and can be used simultaneously or progressively.
♦︎ The Source Code™
The Source Code™ is a fully personalized Human Design report created specifically for your chart by Maike Gabriela. It is the foundational entry point into the Upraising Discovery ecosystem — a comprehensive written guide that deciphers your energy type, decision-making authority, leadership profile, gates and channels, wisdom energy centers, and your Destiny Incarnation Cross. It is custom-made for you, not generated from a template, and is designed to serve as your permanent reference throughout your Human Design journey.
The Source Code™ covers nine key areas of your chart: your Aura Energy Type and how you are designed to move through life; your Decision Making Authority; your Wisdom Energy Centers (defined and open); your Leadership Profile; your Gates and Channels; your Destiny Incarnation Cross; your Mindset, Self Worth and Trauma patterns; your Digestion and Food recommendations; and your Movement and Body needs. It is a complete architectural map of how your energy works.
A free Human Design chart gives you raw data — gates, numbers, and category labels with no explanation or personal context. The Source Code™ translates that raw data into a deeply personalized written guide that explains what your specific chart means for your life — how your energy functions, where you lose yourself, what your decision-making process is designed to look like, and how alignment actually shows up in your body. It is written by Maike Gabriela using her Transformational Human Design™ approach, not auto-generated.
♦︎ HD Activation Booklets
The Human Design Activation Booklets are targeted digital PDF guides created by Maike Gabriela that address specific Human Design themes in focused depth. They are ideal when you know a specific area of your life that needs direct attention and want a dedicated resource for it rather than a full course or session.
Current available topics include: Cosmic Weather™ (energetic navigation for the year), Radiant Body (body awareness and vitality through your design), Energy Cleanse (clearing and resetting your energetic field), Parenting by Design (applying Human Design to conscious parenting), and Money & Abundance (understanding your relationship with money through your chart). New activations are added over time.
While The Source Code™ is recommended as your foundational reference, the Activation Booklets are designed to be accessible as standalone resources. They work most powerfully when you have some familiarity with your chart, but they are written to be clear and usable even for those newer to Human Design.
♦︎ Cosmic Weather™ 2026
Cosmic Weather™ 2026 is a 400+ page digital editorial guide created by Maike Gabriela for navigating the full year of 2026 with energetic clarity and precision. It is an energetic navigation system — not just a calendar — covering the Full 2026 Energetic Plan, Weekly Energetic Overviews, Human Design Integration, Process Cycles Intelligence, Strategic Energy Reviews, and Energetic Signatures for the year. Available for 39€, delivered digitally to your inbox immediately after purchase.
Cosmic Weather™ 2026 is for anyone who wants to move through the year with strategy, timing awareness, and energetic precision rather than reacting to whatever arises. It is designed for people who understand that 2026 asks for precision, not more effort — and who want to stop losing the year before it begins by navigating without a map.
No. Cosmic Weather™ 2026 is designed to be valuable with or without prior Human Design knowledge. It covers collective energetic themes that apply to everyone, alongside Human Design integration guidance for those already familiar with their chart. It is fully accessible as a standalone navigation tool.
Cosmic Weather™ 2026 is intentionally priced at 39€ to make precision energetic navigation accessible to as many people as possible. The depth and quality of the content — 400+ pages of editorial intelligence — reflects Maike's commitment to value over price. The goal is that no one navigates 2026 without a map because the investment felt out of reach.
♦︎ Soft Power Membership
Soft Power is a monthly Human Design membership created by Maike Gabriela for ongoing alignment, embodiment, and integration. It is built around four core pillars: The Aligned Formula™ (Human Design methodology for energetic clarity), Cellular Activation (audio and body-based practices), Subconscious Rewiring (affirmations, subconscious audio, and identity work), and EFT & Energetic Regulation (tools for real-life emotional alignment). It is a space you grow with — not a program you complete.
Members receive monthly content including ongoing energetic practices and tools, HD-specific guidance for their energy type and authority, access to a community energy field, and exclusive workshops inside the membership vault. Workshops include The Authenticity 30-Day Challenge, Holy Hot Glow Workshop, Celestial Rhythm Calendar, and Workout for Your Energy. Pricing is 39€/month or 345€/year.
The Soft Power Membership is for people who understand their Human Design intellectually but want consistent support to actually live it. It is for those who recognize that alignment is not a destination — it needs repetition, context, and a container that holds them as they integrate. It is ideal for people who have completed a Reading or The Source Code™ and are ready for ongoing embodiment work.
Yes. While the membership works most powerfully when combined with other offerings — especially The Source Code™ as a reference — it is fully accessible as a standalone. The practices inside are designed to support you wherever you are in your Human Design journey.
♦︎ ALIGNED+
ALIGNED+ is a fully bespoke, personalized Human Design video course created individually for each client based exclusively on their specific chart. Unlike any generic Human Design course, every video, every module, and every workbook inside ALIGNED+ is written and recorded specifically for your unique design — not adapted from a template, not adjusted from shared curriculum. It is built from your chart, for your chart alone.
ALIGNED+ includes a made-for-you video course covering your full chart in depth; monthly live Q&A sessions; engaging video trainings; The Celestial Agenda (your personalized energetic planner); beautiful digital workbooks; a cinematographic energy film created for your design; and lifetime access. Every element is created specifically around your individual Human Design chart.
The defining difference is complete personalization. There is no shared curriculum in ALIGNED+. Every video is recorded specifically for your chart. Every workbook is built for your design. Most Human Design courses teach general type-based content and apply it broadly — ALIGNED+ starts and ends with your unique chart as the only source material. It also includes monthly live Q&A sessions and lifetime access, making it an ongoing resource rather than a one-time product.
A Human Design Reading is a single live session where your chart is decoded in real time directly with Maike Gabriela — conversational, immediate, and responsive to your questions in the moment. ALIGNED+ is a complete educational journey — a fully personalized video course you move through at your own pace, built entirely around your chart. A Reading gives you live access to Maike in conversation; ALIGNED+ gives you a comprehensive self-paced curriculum built specifically for your design that you can return to repeatedly.
ALIGNED+ is delivered within 5–7 business days after your order. Because every course is created individually for your specific chart — not pulled from an existing library — production time is required. You will receive it directly in your inbox. An order confirmation should arrive immediately after purchase; if it doesn't, contact support promptly so your delivery details can be confirmed.
ALIGNED+ is accessible at any stage of your Human Design journey. It is most powerful when you have some foundation — which is why The Source Code™ is recommended first — but Maike builds all necessary context directly into the course content as it applies to your design. No prior Human Design knowledge is required.
♦︎ 1-on-1 Human Design Reading
A 1-on-1 Human Design Reading is a private live session with Maike Gabriela where your energetic blueprint is decoded directly with you. It is a full-body experience — a blend of intuitive guidance, cellular activation, and deep connection with your unique design. The session uncovers and releases limiting beliefs and resistances blocking you from reconnecting with your highest self, and provides practical, actionable insights you can begin implementing immediately. Sessions are 1 hour at 350€ and include a recording.
Maike's Reading approach goes beyond explaining chart mechanics. Every session delivers three things: Cellular Activation (through oral activation, dormant parts of your DNA are awakened for flow and magnetism), Energetic Alignment (the session is about feeling and living your design, not just understanding it), and chart-specific insight rooted in her Right Angle Cross of Penetration — a design built to break through aura and plant seeds for thriving, authentic living.
Yes. A recording is included with your 1-on-1 Human Design Reading so you can revisit the insights shared during your session as many times as you need.
Yes. Maike maintains a limited number of Reading spots per month to preserve the depth and quality of each session. Availability is shown live on the booking calendar and spots fill regularly. If you don't see availability, check back as new slots are released monthly.
Please check the current booking page for available language options, or contact the Upraising support team directly for language-specific inquiries before booking.
♦︎ Transformational Human Design™ Training
The Transformational Human Design™ Training is Upraising's professional certification program — the Mastery path — for those who want to read Human Design charts and work with clients. It teaches Maike Gabriela's Transformational Human Design™ methodology: an approach that makes Human Design accessible, digestible, and actionable by removing complicated jargon and focusing on practical, emotionally resonant guidance. The training is designed for coaches, therapists, healers, and anyone called to bring Human Design into their professional work.
The training includes 4 modules, 25+ lessons, 100+ resources, and 50+ hours of content. It covers: Discovery of Human Design and its foundations; Interactive Questionnaires for client work; Accessing the Bottleneck Point (the core methodology for reading charts clearly); and Monthly Live Q&A sessions. Bonuses include a 12-Month Transformation Chart, a 1-on-1 Human Design Reading with Maike, and a Source Code™ HD Report. Three curriculum tracks are available to match different learning goals and professional backgrounds.
The Training is for coaches, therapists, healers, and purpose-driven professionals who want to integrate Human Design into their work and read charts for clients. It is also for individuals who want an exceptionally deep understanding of the system beyond what personal offerings provide. It is the professional certification path within the Upraising ecosystem.
While prior experience with Human Design is beneficial, the Training is designed to be comprehensive from foundational to advanced. Familiarity with your own chart — particularly through The Source Code™ — is recommended but not a hard prerequisite. Contact support if you have questions about your readiness for the program.
