So you’ve tried to get out of those same old personal ruts and nothing has helped. That was the case for me too, until I found the Enneagram. Well, truth be told, I still get in ruts, but now I recognize them before they swallow me up!
The Enneagram is the best tool that I know of for changing those personal patterns that we’ve tried and failed to change a hundred times!
It is a sacred psychology that has ancient, spiritual roots. When we locate our personality type (there are 9 of them), it makes so much sense of our struggles and gifts. But the magic of the Enneagram is how it maps a clear way for our spiritual growth and how we access our higher potentials as a human being.
It is a system that uses a nine-pointed figure to portray nine basic personality styles. Each type sees the world very differently. The aim of this holistic model is to break us free from our dominant type so that we can access the riches of all nine types. The world and our option open way up as we are liberated from the exclusive domain of our type!
My particular focus is how the Enneagram is a catalyst for personal evolution, and how it’s a powerful map for change that leads us into expanding spiritual awareness.
It is being used extensively in leadership coaching and training, schools of business, the CIA, the postal service, seminaries and medical schools.

My Background
I have been an avid student of the Enneagram since 1996, and have taught the Enneagram to thousands of people in corporate, educational and church settings. I have an extensive background in both spiritual and human development, a certification in coaching, and over a thousand hours of spiritual guidance work. I draw primarily from the work of Beatrice Chestnut, Russ Hudson, Christopher Heuertz, Don Riso, and Helen Palmer.
