You deserve to remember who you truly are.

 

You are more than you’ve taken yourself to be.

Inside you is a wellspring of wisdom, ready to share exactly what’s keeping you from living into your Essential Self.

It is inviting you to embody the fullest expression of your Essence and let your gifts shine through.

Are you hearing the call?

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.

More About Me

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.

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.

 What people are saying:

  • "Working with Caryn has been nothing short of life-changing. I was not prepared for the emotions that surfaced during my sessions with Caryn but she was never taken aback or dismissive - she always knew the exact questions to ask to help me create space for my feelings while connecting to my body. For the first time in my life, I learned to hold genuine compassion for myself and I was able to grieve, forgive, and release old wounds I had been carrying for decades. Caryn's humor, support, encouragement, and gentle feedback along with her calming presence gave me the strength to keep exploring and uncovering my True Self."

    ~ Sarah, Type 4

  • "Caryn's focus on learning to listen to our bodies is a new level of support that I have never experienced before. I jokingly tell people that Caryn is a "magician" -- what I mean by that is that Caryn is able to get so much out of a person just by encouraging them to consider themselves in a way they may not have before."

    ~ Colleen, Type 9

  • “Caryn's coaching has helped me see myself and others in powerfully new ways. In each session, I discover a new perspective that excites me and truly changes the way I move throughout my day. She also teaches me practices that reinforce these new discoveries and help me grow between sessions. What impresses me most is how she trusts and draws forth the deep hidden knowledge that I already carry with me. Her warmth, compassion, and skill make me feel truly heard. She creates a space where I am 100% accepted yet inspired to grow toward my dreams.”

    ~ Arianna, Type 1

  • “I had been using my limited understanding of the Enneagram just to analyze my situation as if it were happening to somebody else. Caryn helped show me how to actually sit with the feelings in my body and get out of my head, and I’ve practiced that a lot more since. Over two months after our work together, I’m still working with the insights and practices that my session with Caryn pointed me towards. I’ve been able to relate to myself and others in my life in a more compassionate and supportive way ever since."

    ~ Mathias, Type 2

  • I loved my coaching session with Caryn. She gently asked me questions with lot of empathy and led me into the deep journey of self awareness. I loved how she used the knowledge of my enneagram type to help me feel and experience deeper emotions. The body work that she did with me (feeling different emotions as I thought some difficult things through) made a big impact on me. I felt strengthened, encouraged, and almost like a different person after the session. Caryn is such an authentic and gentle person and I strongly recommend her if you are longing for deep inner change and for uncovering layers that have been hidden deep within. If you want to step out, live fully embodied in the present and enjoy your life to the fullest, please contact Caryn. You will not regret it. You'll experience the change that you desire and may never again be the same.

    ~Natalija, Type 5
