Journey To Connection

Everything revolves around connection. Life's most beautiful moments and experiences are simply an overflow from the connections we foster.

Tired of the Perfection Race?

You've arrived at a crossroads where the relentless pursuit of perfection yields to the embrace of true connection. Are you exhausted from the endless comparison, always finding yourself lacking next to others? I was! Hi! I'm Annie, your faith-based Enneagram Coach and my passion lies in building meaningful connections with oneself, others, and God. I'm here to guide you towards embracing connection over perfection, towards celebrating your own strengths instead of feeling you're always falling short.

Your Journey to Self-Compassion Starts Now

I understand that the constant comparison and negative mindsets can erode the joy of living. It's time to step into the light of self-acceptance. I believe we are all created in love, by love, and for love. And when we live from this place of connection to that love, our unique beauty and purpose overflow naturally, without the hustle for approval.

The Power of Connection & the Enneagram

Using the wisdom of the Enneagram, I take each of my clients through a customized journey, guiding them towards deeper connection and understanding of themselves and others. By uncovering your unique Enneagram type, I can help you navigate your personal path to connection and growth more effectively, ensuring a transformative experience tailored to your individual and relational needs. Where do you feel stuck? Let’s work together to help you move forward! There is something only you can do. The world needs YOU!

  • We will work on building self-reflective practices to cultivate a deeper understanding of the strategies used that may no longer serve you or your relationships. We all developed self-protective strategies in childhood to get our needs met but many times if they go unchecked and unchallenged, they can wreak havoc in our relationships - to ourselves, others and God.

  • We will work together to find tools and daily rythmns that will be adaptable to your life and help meet your specific needs. We’ll collaborate together to help you move forward.

  • I also strongly believe in the power of renewing your mind. This is a concept in Scripture that is backed by science and the necessity of this work is foundational to true and lasting transformation.

    “Take every thought captive…” -2 Corinthians 10:5

How We Find Connection Through The Enneagram

  • Connection With Ourselves

    This is all about self-awareness. The Enneagram helps you understand your personality, including your strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. Imagine it like having a personal guidebook that says, "Hey, this is why you think, act and feel the way you do." This self-knowledge is super important for personal growth and happiness.

  • Connection With Others

    The Enneagram teaches that understanding others is just as important as understanding yourself. It's like having a secret decoder ring for human behavior. When you get where others are coming from, it's easier to build strong, empathetic relationships. This can be a game changer in both personal and professional life.

  • Connection With God

    Here's where the Enneagram goes deep. It's not just about personality; it's also about spirituality. The idea is that by understanding yourself and others, you can also better understand your place in the universe or your relationship with God. This can lead to a sense of peace, purpose, and connection to something greater than yourself.

A Heart-Centered Approach to Coaching

Life's Imperfections are Beautiful. While the world chases picture-perfect lives, I cherish the imperfect moments that make life extraordinary. If you’re stumbling through life's messiness, feeling overwhelmed by the unlovely parts of yourself, I'm the (im)perfect guide to journey with you into acceptance and transformation.

With my guidance, the insights provided by the Enneagram and 20 years of my own self-reflective work (practice and learning), you will discover the beauty and strength that lie in vulnerability and authentic connection.  We all deeply desire to be seen, known and cared for.  But many times this begins with knowing (and loving) ourselves and seeing our worth and value through our Creator's eyes.  This has been such a transformative journey in my own life and I am so excited for the privilege of creating this sacred space for you as well!
