Hi,
I’m Dani!
I am a Type 1 on the Enneagram, and I am happily married to my best friend, Shane, a Type 6.
I’m happiest when I’m outside in the sunshine, digging in the dirt or marveling at the beautiful, detailed miracle of creation. I have three kids (ages 14, 17, 20) two cats, and two dogs. I’m a former worship leader and home school mom.
When I first heard of the Enneagram ten years ago, I was unsure about what it was (what’s with the strange symbol?) and how it could help. A few years passed, and there it was again! This time I took a deeper look at the Enneagram, and was amazed at how uncannily it could describe my inner world and my private motivations. My perfectionism and my behavioral tendencies all of a sudden had explanations, and instead of feeling discouraged by my findings, I saw potential for real growth and change. I was honestly a little tired of struggling in the same exact ways, day after day.
As I began to delve deeper, I couldn’t stop talking about the Enneagram to anyone who would listen because of the insights I was gaining personally, and eventually, even my skeptical husband became convinced of its benefits because of the changes he saw in me. Over the past few years, the Enneagram has given the two of us new tools and a new language for understanding each other which has transformed the way we navigate conflict and our day to day living. After almost 25 years of marriage, our relationship is better than ever before!
I love helping people understand themselves better and grow deeper in their relationships using the wisdom of the Enneagram. I believe we were created to live in freedom and love, but often we find ourselves trapped in ruts, and stuck in stories we were not meant to live. The Enneagram is an amazing tool that helps shine a light upon the areas where we have gotten off of our best path and provides specific, compassionate help for getting back on it! Peeling back the layers of self-defeating personality patterns will give you new freedom and reconnect you to your true identity.
Proverbs 20:5 tells us the "purposes of a person's heart are deep waters" and that it takes a person of insight to help draw them out. This verse speaks to me because my role in a coaching partnership is to help you discover the answers that already lie within the deep waters of you, and it’s an honor to be your guide back to yourself.
Are you ready to get out of your own way and be who you were created to be?
I'm excited to walk beside you for this leg of your journey!
