Embody Your Essential Self.

• Enneagram of Essence™ — Founder and Core Faculty
  

• International Enneagram Association IEA — Accredited Professional

• Enneagram Embodiment Tradition — Advanced 3-Year Certification

After teaching at an IEA-accredited Enneagram school for a decade, I founded my own model and program, the Enneagram of Essence™, as a deeper way to engage with the Enneagram and the essence of the types.

For those drawn to understanding their primary personality type, this approach includes a deep exploration of the Enneagram of Personality to uncover your unique patterns and motivations. Yet the heart of this work goes beyond personality—it invites you to experience the essence of each type as universal qualities that exist within us all.

This journey offers a path to wholeness, where understanding your primary type is just the beginning. By embracing the full spectrum of all nine types, you connect with the inner resources and strengths each one brings, fostering integration and balance.

As a lifelong student of the Enneagram, I bring both informal training and extensive professional expertise to this work. I am an accredited Enneagram professional with an internationally recognized and accredited Enneagram model and certification program, through which I’ve trained and certified many professionals in the field.

I am also an international speaker, presenting at conferences around the world, including the upcoming global Enneagram conference in Minneapolis, where I will share my unique model, the Enneagram of Essence™.

• Jungian and Post-Jungian Clinical Concepts —Certificate with the Centre for Applied Jungian Studies

Rooted in the work of Carl Jung, this approach has deeply influenced my practice, particularly through its use of archetypes, dreams, and symbols as doorways to the unconscious. I find that these universal patterns provide powerful insights into the deeper layers of the psyche, offering a way to explore facets of self that might otherwise remain hidden.

For me, the essence of Jungian work lies in individuation—the lifelong process of integrating all parts of yourself to live in harmony with both your conscious and unconscious mind. By engaging with archetypes, I help clients connect with universal energies and inner dynamics that often bring clarity and meaning to life’s pivotal thresholds.

This work blends seamlessly with other modalities I use, offering a way to ground profound insights into embodied transformation. Whether we’re exploring the Hero, the Caregiver, the Sage, or other archetypal energies, these symbols act as guides, helping you reconnect with your authenticity and move toward a deeper sense of wholeness.

• Somatics and Internal Family Systems IFS — Level 3 Certification with Fran Booth in Integrative Somatic Parts Work

Internal Family Systems IFS is an evidence-based therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, and it’s a cornerstone of my work with clients. This approach sees the mind as composed of distinct “parts,” each carrying unique emotions, beliefs, and roles. IFS resonates deeply with my focus on archetypes and facets of self, as it offers a way to view these parts not as problems to be fixed but as meaningful expressions within your inner landscape.

In my practice, I use IFS to help clients connect with their Self-Energy—the calm, compassionate, and wise essence that leads the healing process. By working with both protective and exiled parts, we can bring harmony and integration to your inner world, fostering deeper alignment with your authenticity.

I also integrate somatic practices into this work, ensuring that healing happens not just in the mind but in the body. Through this approach, clients often find that accessing Self-energy allows for profound transformation, cultivating clarity, compassion, and a renewed sense of wholeness.

• Somatics and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — Level 3 Certification with Fran Booth in Integrative Somatic Parts Work

• Somatic Experiencing® (SE) — Workshops and advanced trainings with Dr. Peter Levine through The Embody Lab

• Neuroscience and Mindfulness — Workshops with Dr. Dan Siegel at the IEA Global Conference and the Global Summit

Somatic therapy is a cornerstone of my approach, focusing on the connection between the mind and body to heal inner turmoil and restore balance. While I primarily use methodologies from Somatic Experiencing®, my somatic approach is enriched by training across multiple embodiment traditions.

Somatic work aligns with my focus on facets of self and archetypal exploration. By working with the body’s signals and nervous system patterns, I help clients deepen their connection to Self-energy—the calm, compassionate, and wise essence within—and integrate fragmented parts of their experience into a sense of wholeness.

• Energies for Transformation —Training with Sally Kempton on the integration of spirituality and embodiment practices

• Hypnosis and Guided Imagery —Training with the Michael Newton Institute

Embodied Sound Hypnosis is a beautiful modality that blends hypnosis and meditative practices with sound vibrations to access deeper states of awareness, relaxation, and healing. My approach integrates advanced training in clinical hypnosis and guided imagery from the Michael Newton Institute with my passion for sound healing.

Through the sound vibration of quartz crystal singing bowls, I create a soothing soundscape that enhances the hypnotic experience. This combination of sound and hypnosis allows clients to enter a state of deep calm, where clarity and inner insight naturally arise.

This work is deeply connected to my focus on facets of self and embodiment. I guide clients toward accessing their inner wisdom and connecting with Self-energy—the calm, compassionate, and wise essence within. Whether exploring unresolved patterns, seeking clarity, or simply grounding in a deeper sense of peace, this modality supports profound transformation and alignment.
