Healing oneself to become a Place-of-Wellness Keeper

“I recently completed Ingrid’s 5D® 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.

“I used so many tools from this course. I think I really would be struggling with some clients were it not for the things I have learned.
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.”
