We made the Enneagram work

After years of working with clients and finding that the complexity of modern Enneagram teaching was creating more confusion than clarity, we went back to the core structure — and everything changed.

No wings. No subtypes. No tritypes. Just the nine types, the lines, and a framework that connects personality to health, behaviour and real growth.

Jen is the author of The Healing Compass series — the frameworks that underpin everything we teach.

Our approach

Why the ENRG method works where others don't

Core type only
We don't use wings, subtypes or tritypes. The foundational Enneagram already contains everything you need — adding complexity just creates confusion and mistyping.
Expert external typing
Most people mistype themselves because they see through their own blind spots. We type you from the outside — using photo analysis, a questionnaire and a live interview.
Connected to your health
Personality doesn't just shape how you think — it shapes how you eat, sleep, respond to stress and relate to others. We make that connection explicit and practical.
The framework

The four pillars of the ENRG method

E
Energise
Find what fuels you
Understand what genuinely energises your type — and stop spending energy on strategies that were never meant for you.
N
Nourish
Feed your whole self
Nourishment goes beyond food. Learn how your type's patterns affect what you need physically, emotionally and relationally.
R
Restore
Return to yourself
Each type has a different way of depleting — and a different way of restoring. Discover yours and build it into your life.
G
Grow
Move in your direction
Growth isn't generic. Using your lines of integration, we map a direction that's specific to your type — not someone else's idea of better.

Introducing the ENRG GPS

The Enneagram Neuro-Relational Grid — or ENRG GPS — maps the connection between your personality type, the way you internalise stress, and the physical symptoms that can result.

Each type has a distinctive stress pattern. When that pattern becomes chronic, it expresses in the body in predictable ways. The ENRG GPS makes those connections visible — so you can understand not just how you respond to stress, but where you carry it.

Grounded primarily in German New Medicine (GNM), with additional support from the work of van der Kolk, Peter Levine and the broader somatic tradition.

Your type

Your stress

Your body

The Personality Mechanism — The Cycle in Full
The ENRG GPS Personality Mechanism — a six-stage cycle showing how the stress and security lines work automatically, with virtue becoming visible as a choice when the cycle completes.

Start with a professional typing session

Before you can use the Enneagram to grow, you need to know your actual type — not the one you think you are. Our expert process gives you a confirmed core type, grounded in observation rather than guesswork.

Common questions

Things people ask us

Can someone else really type me accurately? +
Yes — and often more accurately than you can type yourself. When you self-type, you see yourself through your own blind spots. That's exactly why mistyping is so common. External typing, done carefully with photo analysis, a questionnaire and an interview, removes that bias.
Why no wings or subtypes? +
We believe the core Enneagram already contains everything you need. Adding wings, subtypes and tritypes creates a system so complex it becomes impossible to apply practically. Our approach keeps it clean, actionable and deeply useful.
Do I need to have read the books first? +
No. The books and the course are designed to work together, but you can start with a typing session and go from there. The books become valuable companions once you know your type.
Is this right for beginners? +
Absolutely. In fact our approach is often easier for beginners because they haven't already absorbed a complicated system they need to unlearn. If you're new to the Enneagram, you're starting in the right place.
How is this connected to health? +
Each Enneagram type has patterns that show up in the body — in stress responses, hormonal tendencies, eating patterns and energy levels. Our ENRG framework makes those connections explicit so you can work with them, not against them.
"The foundational Enneagram may already contain everything we need."
We work with your core type and your lines — nothing more, nothing less.
Simplicity creates clarity. Clarity creates the conditions for real growth.
We connect what you learn about yourself directly to how you live — your health, your relationships, your daily patterns.
This isn't about labelling or limiting. It's about understanding your patterns clearly enough to work with them rather than be run by them.
