What  is  the  Enneagram?

A map for awareness, growth, and transformation

The Enneagram is a powerful framework that identifies nine distinct archetypes - nine ways of seeing and responding to the world. Each type reflects a unique set of motivations, strengths, and challenges that shape how we think, feel, and relate.​

 

At its heart, the Enneagram reveals the patterns that drive us, often beneath our conscious awareness. It helps us understand why we do what we do - not just our behaviors, but the deeper fears and longings that fuel them. By seeing these dynamics clearly, we gain freedom to choose new responses and cultivate greater compassion for ourselves and others. 

 

Unlike other personality systems that categorize or confine, the Enneagram offers a dynamic framework for growth and transformation - one that honors our complexity and our capacity to evolve.​

 

With roots in ancient spiritual traditions and modern psychology, the Enneagram bridges timeless wisdom with contemporary insight. It draws from Sufi mysticism and early Christian contemplative practice, later refined by teachers like Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. The result is a map that spans both the spiritual and the practical - offering deep understanding and real-world tools for transformation.​​​​

Why the Enneagram?

For me, the Enneagram is a living system of self-knowledge - one that continues to evolve as we do. Every time I work with it, it reveals something new. Whether you’re just beginning to explore your type or deepening years of self-study, our work will meet you where you are and open new pathways toward wholeness.

 

As a Certified Enneagram Coach through Integrative Enneagram, with over fifteen years of study and practice, I bring this work to individuals, couples, teams, and organizations as a lens for growth, awareness, and conscious leadership. While it can be used simply to understand personality patterns, its true power lies in its ability to catalyze lasting, embodied change.​

There are many free Enneagram assessments available online, but most offer only a surface-level glimpse of type. I work exclusively with the Integrative Enneagram (iEQ9) because it’s an adaptive, research-based assessment that provides exceptional depth and accuracy.

​

The iEQ9 assessment uses adaptive testing technology to fine-tune results as you answer, offering up to 95% accuracy — significantly higher than static questionnaires. While no test can determine your type with absolute certainty (because the Enneagram is based on unconscious motivation rather than behavior alone), the iEQ9 creates a remarkably precise starting point. From there, our work together helps you deepen self-awareness and confirm your type through reflection and coaching.

​

The assessment also provides me, as your coach, with valuable backend data that enhances our sessions - including your unique distribution across all nine types, your instinctual subtype, your dominant center of intelligence (thinking, feeling, or action), and your approaches to conflict and goal pursuit.

​

This information allows for a more nuanced and personalized experience. Many clients who begin workshops with me with free online tests later choose to take the Integrative Enneagram because they can feel the difference in clarity, accuracy, and insight it provides.
