When it feels like you've read every Somatic Enneagram Coaching book and listened to every podcast, but the information still falls flat and one-dimensional, leaving you frustrated—more knowledgeable, but without the skills to change.
Let me teach you the skills and an attuned way of knowing yourself through the language and system of the Enneagram. My approach will guide you toward accessing your psychological, spiritual, and somatic self, bringing embodied change and more aliveness.
when we work together
-
We prioritize your transformation by using the enneagram typing system as a map to understand your type’s somatic shaping. We allow space for the somatic change process and use body-based practices, tools, and skills to help you rewire your neural pathways, resulting in new integrated behavioral patterns.
-
We will work to create safety and ease so that you can invite a relationship with the passion of your enneagram type, building greater capacity for your type’s virtue to emerge, bringing self-kindness, self-trust, and self-compassion.
-
We learn to interrupt your behavior patterns by moving “in and down” to observe your behaviors from a place of attuned embodied wisdom, creating pause and making space for skilled choice.
-
We will build embodied competency skills around the hallmark features of your enneagram type, enabling you to stay connected to what you care about when overwhelmed or under pressure.
-
We co-create somatic and spiritual practices that allow you to be present, connected, open, and on purpose, allowing you to live a life in which your deeply held values and what you care about align with your behavior.
In our somatic enneagram coaching relationship, we’ll work together to create a personalized journey that aligns with your goals and needs.
Whether you’re seeking ongoing support or a focused, time-bound process, we can tailor our approach to fit your life.
Consistency and repetition are key to creating lasting change, so while weekly sessions are ideal, we can adjust to bi-weekly if needed. If you have limited time and resources, we can fast-track your progress, though this may require adjusting expectations.
Our first few sessions will focus on setting clear goals and understanding your unique somatic patterns, paving the way for meaningful growth. We’ll also weave educational components into our sessions to deepen your understanding and application of somatic practices.
We’ll regularly evaluate our progress throughout our work together to ensure you’re finding value and moving toward your desired outcomes.
WHAT SOMATIC ENNEAGRAM COACHING SESSIONS WILL LOOK LIKE
Enneagram Education & Goal Setting
In the first 3-5 sessions, we’ll explore your enneagram type which includes your somatic shape—how your body responds to feeling unsafe, including your triggers and stressors. This exploration will help us set goals based on what matters to you, what you long for, and where you seek transformation. In each session, we’ll revisit your goals to ensure they align with your values and direction.
Somatic Body-process
Many of our sessions will include somatic body processes, as this is where transformative change occurs through a bottom-up, healing-from-within approach. This involves tuning into what your body is feeling in the moment, guiding you to connect more deeply with those sensations and emotions, and allowing you to fully experience them. You will then be encouraged to express what you're feeling, gain insights from your body's wisdom, and explore how to apply these new understandings in your everyday life.
Mind-Body Practices
In the field of Somatic, we say, “You are what you practice,” so we will engage in mind-body practices together, which may include movement for embodied living. These practices will help you bring more awareness, intention, skill, and presence to the overwhelm, stress, and challenges that life brings.
