I am so excited about your interest in the Enneagram.
Whether you’re already familiar with it, or discovering the Enneagram for the first time, I’d love to share how I utilize it professionally as an Enneagram and Life Coach .
What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for the journey of self-discovery. Often described as a psycho-spiritual tool, its roots go way back in history. It’s actually a compound Greek word: Ennea (Nine) + Gram (Points).
The Enneagram is a personality typing system, and so much more! It is a tool of inner discovery and growth that helps to identify core ingredients that make up your sense of self. The Enneagram is based on the idea that there are 9 basic personality types, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. By understanding your Enneagram type, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your motivations. It will impact all areas of your life, helping you to improve your relationships, your career, and your overall well-being.
To put it simply, the Enneagram is used for personal growth and transformation, in a way that is personal to you.
If you are confused or frustrated from getting stuck in the same dynamics, the Enneagram will help you learn:
WHY you do what you do,
WHAT your needs, motivations, fears, strengths, stuck spots, and blindspots are,
HOW to turn off your autopilot mode to be more responsive, not reactive,
You do not need to have any experience with, or understanding of the Enneagram to get started. In my Enneagram and Life Coaching sessions, you decide if this tool would be helpful. The cool thing about using the Enneagram tool together is that it’s like a shortcut for self-discovery and compassion. My goal is for you to find freedom that comes with embracing the real, authentic you! Get ready to feel seen, loved and understood!
If you are curious about the Enneagram, I offer an Enneagram Discover-Your-Type Call. In this 90-minute guided interview-style session, we’ll discover your Enneagram Type AND you’ll get suggested resources for accelerated self-discovery and growth.
Experience a new-found sense of freedom, clarity and compassion.
Benefits of Learning the Enneagram Tool
-
Increased Self-Awareness
The Enneagram can help you to become more aware of your own strengths and blindspots, as well as your motivations and core values. This can help you to make better decisions and live a more fulfilling life.
-
Improved Communication Skills
The Enneagram can help you to better understand how other people see the world, which can lead to improved communication. It’s like a shortcut for compassion and understanding. This can be helpful in both your personal and professional relationships.
-
Self-Compassion
The Enneagram helps you identify your inner critic and the message it repeats to you. Softening this voice and understanding where it comes from empowers you to get “unstuck” and experience transformation.
-
Greater Emotional Awareness
The Enneagram can help you become conscious of your own emotions and how to manage them effectively. By understanding how they work, you will channel a more balanced and peaceful life.
-
Greater Somatic Awareness
Accessing all THREE centers of intelligence, including your body’s wisdom, offers huge benefits for health. Connecting mind, body and heart for greater alignment has such an impact on how we move through the world. The ability to access all 3 centers will propel you forward in growth.
-
Stronger Boundaries
The Enneagram can help you to set healthy boundaries in your relationships, both personal and professional. This can lead to less stress, constriction and conflict.
-
More Fulfilling Relationships
The Enneagram can help you to build stronger and more fulfilling relationships. This is because you will have a better understanding of yourself and the other person, which can lead to greater empathy, compassion and understanding.
-
Increased Productivity
The Enneagram can help you to focus your energy and time on the things that are most important to you. This can lead to increased productivity and a sense of success and satisfaction in both your personal and professional life.
-
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
The Enneagram can help you to reduce stress and anxiety by giving you a deeper understanding of yourself and your triggers. You’ll operate from a “home-base” of expansion rather than constriction for a more peaceful and relaxed life.
-
Enhanced Sense of Purpose
The Enneagram can help you find meaning and purpose in life. This is because it reveals not only what a person does by why they do it.
-
Strengthening Relationships
…with yourself and with others! The journey of self-discovery is your gateway to building connection, love and compassion both for yourself and with others. By understanding not just "what" drives your behaviors but also "why," you'll find the key to breaking free from limitations and embracing transformation and newfound freedom. We will integrate the Enneagram system to add a valuable deeper layer of insight to your journey, enhancing the potential for growth and empowerment.
You can find free Enneagram tests online but that will only tell you PART of the story.
There are a TON of Enneagram tests out there and that could be a good place to start. However, keep in mind, tests are only 60%-70% accurate. We can land on your type without you even sitting and taking a test. However, if you have taken a test you can let me know your top 3 and we will go from there.
As we explore how your Enneagram type shapes your life, we will untangle how it relates to your personality and you will immediately begin to understand why you do some things and make certain choices.
Beginning to notice our unconscious patterns, making them conscious, is the first step in transformation.
As an Enneagram Coach, my goal is to help you gain clarity and deepen compassion, grace and love for yourself and the many people in your life! We are all one-of-a-kind, and that’s what makes the world a beautiful, sometimes challenging, interesting place! As an Enneagram certified Teacher and Coach through the Deep Coaching Institute, and the CP Enneagram Academy, I am excited to be of service in this way!
I can’t wait to get creative with you and see how the Enneagram can help you transform your life and the world around you! Read more about Enneagram awesomeness in my blog, “Enneagram LOVE!.”

Workshops - Such as, Enneagram Explorations; Enneagram Deep Dive; Best Life Together Relationship Retreat)
