And [...] I am not hiding behind Enneagram knowledge.

I am learning to stay in the core of myself, with responsibility for my own Type in the room [...] and I am appreciating that this is actually the supreme challenge, and the deepest source of true value.”

Trauma-informed knowledge and techniques

The restoration of identity, agency and belonging 

Use the Enneagram far beyond Typology to help clients self-remember, self-reconnect, and un-forget their essential gifts.

Cross the bridge from knowing the Enneagram to working with the reality of human existence, real-time, in all its dynamism and complexity, with the Enneagram as an internalised map and compass. 

"I am leaving with the immensity of the importance of this work and the power of this container to do that work."

Healing oneself to become a Place-of-Wellness Keeper

“I recently completed Ingrid’s Trauma-Informed Enneagram Coaching Certification Course with the desire to primarily provide coaching to ministers who are not only dealing with people in their congregations who have experienced developmental trauma, but who are also trying to navigate the stress of ministry carrying their own long-term traumas.

The training I received has been truly transformational to my ministry beyond developing skills for spiritual guidance and coaching.

I have experienced healing in areas of my own trauma. I have found a new energy in serving my congregations. I have also seen a shift in my preaching, teaching, and pastoral care that is more responsive to what people are experiencing in their lives and to walk with people who desire a more grace-filled discipleship.

Ingrid’s compassion, spirit, and insight has given me many things to integrate into my life and ministry. I am grateful I had the chance to participate in the class and to continue to grow in practice.”
– Rev. Dave Morris, Iowa, USA.

Most people do not realise just how much more life is available to them. That they could experience far more energy, coherence, stability, inner organisation, connection, balance, authenticity and serenity in all aspects of their lives. Growth, healing, soul retrieval and the recovery of the life force are genuine and ever-present potentials. No matter the circumstances.

I teach you how to work with clients to remember who they are and to create inner lives, relationships, teams and workplaces that are more meaningful, intelligible and manageable. 

My courses incorporate my experience in facilitating growth and transformation with individuals, couples, organisations and teams over a period of over twenty-five years. It integrates powerful practices from the most impactful modalities, including the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®), Hypnotherapy (SAIH), Imago®. Its epistemological foundations include both the Cognitive Science of Wisdom and the Enneagram wisdom tradition.
