Why work with a certified consultant?
The certification process with the Enneagram Studies in the Narrative Tradition (www.enneagramworldwide.com) offered Sandra numerous experiences in assessing personality type and witnessing panel interviews of people speaking from their own understanding of how type plays out in daily life. Through this two-year process, Sandra gained a better understanding of the subtle nuances of each of the nine types as well as an in-depth understanding of the complexities of the Enneagram system as a whole. The certification process allows for an unfolding of the material in conversation with world renowned Enneagram teachers and authors.

Why Sandra?
A unique combination of theological education, a business degree with 17 years in the corporate world along with 14 years as a nonprofit director, gives Sandra a rare versatility in working in a variety of settings. She brings a practical approach in presenting the material and offers it with a compassionate sensitivity. Working with the three centers of intelligence, Sandra’s teachings weave different methodologies that appeal to the wisdom of the mind, heart and body.
