    Enneagram Coaching

    The Enneagram is a unique tool for deep, personal transformation. Lorie offers certified Enneagram Coaching for a few, select clients at a time who are interested in meaningful change.

Lorie began studying the Enneagram in 2010, while still practicing counseling. Because of her background in Systems Theory and Marriage and Family Therapy, the premise of the Enneagram made immediate sense to her and she began reading about it at great length for both her own insight and for her clients.

First viewed as an avenue toward greater insight, Lorie took advantage of the Enneagram’s ability to accurately reveal one’s greatest fears, hopes, and motivations. As time went on, with further study, Lorie began to understand the power of the Enneagram to restore people to their truest selves—to help them inhabit the fullness of who God created them to be.

As a Four on the Enneagram (with a STRONG Three wing!), this is what drives Lorie’s quest to better understand the Enneagram and help others apply it in their lives—the promise of finding, and living out of, our most authentic selves in a significant, meaningful way.

What is the Enneagram?

  • The Ennea-WHAT?

    The Enneagram (Ennea=9, Gram=Diagram) is simply a GPS, so to speak, for self-discovery and personal growth based on 9 basic personality types—helping us understand where we are NOW and giving us a way forward to where we’re meant to be.

  • How Are Personality Types Formed?

    Formation is always happening in our lives. We begin to establish very early on ways of understanding and fitting into the world based on both our inborn temperament and our initial formative experiences, particularly with our parents. This solidifies our way of looking at and interacting with the world.

  • How Does this Shape Our Identity?

    Although our identity remains very fluid until our early 20s, research shows that our formation (influenced, as well, by our inborn temperament) creates within us one of nine primary ways of looking at and interacting with the world around us. Our identity “flag,” so to speak, gets planted somewhere within the pattern WE have adopted as our own.

  • But I'm a Little Bit of ALL of Them

    It’s common to find a little of ourselves in all nine of the types—indeed, it takes characteristics from all nine of the types to fully manifest Christ-likeness. One of them, however, should stand out as being closest to yourself over time. This is your starting point toward growth and healing.

  • "Re-Routing"

    Remember how I said the Enneagram is like a GPS for personal transformation? Well, Enneagram Coaching would be the GoogleMaps feature that always keeps you on the most direct route.

  • I'm Lost

    You can’t get directions on your GPS if you don’t enter a starting location. An Enneagram Coach is trained to help others find the “You Are Here” spot on the map and come to an understanding of the unique terrain from which they begin their journey of transformation.

  • I'm Stuck

    There are a million ways we can become detained along the way—breakdowns, traffic jams, road construction, small bladders—the list is endless. An Enneagram Coach knows how to determine what’s got you stuck AND what will motivate you to keep pressing on.

  • Are We There Yet?

    Deep transformation takes time and effort—and a lot of discomfort along the way. An Enneagram Coach knows this—but also knows the importance of doing really hard things for really good reasons. They are there to guide you when you can’t (or don’t want to) see where you’re going. Through dark nights, hard rains, white-outs, and unplanned off-roading, a Coach knows how to navigate the perils and get you to your destination.

Transformation isn’t a question of “if.” We are ALWAYS being transformed. The question is, are we being changed for the worse, or for the BETTER?
