Enneagram Coaching for Relationships

Our couples coaching is designed to help you and your partner, family member, coworker, or friend understand each other more clearly, communicate more compassionately, and move through challenges with greater awareness and grace.

Using the Enneagram in the Embodiment Tradition, we’ll explore how your patterns interact—where you may feel stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected—and guide you back to connection through presence, empathy, and insight.

Sessions include a discussion of core type and Instinctual stacking, and how that unique combination affects communication. You’ll leave with a tailored plan for growth that supports deepened clarity and purposeful engagement.

Together, you’ll move past miscommunication, blame, and separateness, embracing the journey of learning how to meet yourselves and each other with more openness, clarity, and love.

Testimonials

Ona A.

I needed someone to orient me to a loved one's core motivations in order to understand her better. Ali was an amazing coach for us and helped us grow tremendously. Her embodied approach stays with you!

Lauren T.

The energy Ali brought to our typing session was so comforting it was like we had been friends for years. Her knowledge of the Enneagram was very enlightening and has helped me understand and embrace who I am and why I show up the way I do. I am looking forward to continuing to integrate what I learned with Ali into my life and all my relationships.

Johanna & Kent

Both of us came into our session with backgrounds in psychology and a deep love of exploring self-actualization through different modalities, so we weren’t totally new to this kind of experience. But we did walk away saying it was better than some therapy sessions we’ve had, which honestly says a lot about how much we both got out of it.

What surprised us was how useful and reaffirming the experience with Ali was, both individually and as a couple. She has a really clear, supportive way of guiding you through the Enneagram while also getting well beyond the surface-level “what type are you?” conversation.

Digging into our types, stacking, patterns, and how those pieces interact gave us language for things we already intuitively understood about ourselves and each other, while also uncovering things we hadn’t quite connected before. We left feeling more understood by each other and with a deeper framework for how we each move through the world and our relationship. It was insightful, validating, and genuinely fun to do together. We will definitely come back for another session!
