Coming home to yourself brings deep healing, self-discovery, and embodied wisdom
Hi, I’m Caryn (she/her).
Trained as a social worker, I now play the roles of Enneagram Teacher, Somatic Practitioner, and Transformationalist where I inspire insight, and wield wisdom in service of your Inner Knowing.
I believe you can live a life that honors all of who you are and benefits humanity as a whole.
Through deep relationship, compassionate curiosity, and the framework of the Enneagram combined with somatic awareness, I support seekers as they encounter their shadows, hold the tension of life’s paradoxes, and become responsive stewards of the ever-emerging present.
I am aware of how I benefit from the oppressive influences of white supremacist cis-hetero-patriarchal capitalism and am committed to contributing to conditions that lead to a new paradigm. I believe liberation from these systems can, and must, start from within and ripple outward.
What Can You Expect from Working with Me?
🔹Compassionate, Embodied Approach: I blend somatic awareness with the transformative power of the Enneagram to create lasting change.
🔹Empowerment and Insight: Together, we will explore your Enneagram type’s patterns, and through somatic practices, uncover new pathways for growth.
🔹Personalized Guidance: Every session is tailored to your unique process, meeting you where you are and guiding you forward.
Together, we’ll work through the body and mind to create sustainable change, honoring the path of integration and growth.
You are more than you’ve taken yourself to be.
Inside you is a wellspring of wisdom, inviting you to embody the fullest expression and let your gifts shine through.
This means taking a close look at the patterns that keep you stuck in similar loops — with radical honesty and radical compassion.
My favorite way in is through the transformational modality of Somatic Enneagram Work.
Are you hearing the call?
What is Somatic Enneagram Work?
Somatic Enneagram Work integrates the wisdom of the Enneagram with the body’s innate intelligence. By tuning into physical sensations, we uncover and transform patterns that are stored in the body and psyche. This approach helps you:
🔹Understand your core motivations through the lens of the Enneagram, enabling you to make more aligned decisions in your personal and professional life, and build relationships that truly reflect who you are.
🔹Cultivate a deeper awareness of your habits, triggers, and responses, empowering you to face life’s obstacles with intention and break free from automatic reactions.
🔹Release stored emotions and energy in the body, allowing you to experience greater emotional clarity, reduce stress, and approach challenges with calm and resilience.
🔹Transform limiting patterns into empowered choices, opening the door for you to step into your fullest potential and make decisions that honor your deepest desires and values.
🔹Heal past wounds by re-patterning your body’s response to old triggers, creating space for peace, releasing old patterns, and welcoming new opportunities and connections into your life.

I’m confident that you have within you the answers that you seek.
But fear, shame, and a sense of helplessness can make it daunting to turn inward.
Having a guide can help.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you from honoring your inner guidance, find gentle but potent ways your nervous system is asking for nourishment, and remind you of your inherent worthiness so you can embrace and embody your wisdom.
