OFFERINGS AND SERVICES

Enneagram Coaching and Consulting 

Drawing from experience over a decade of immersion in the Enneagram, Fourth Way, Integrative Breathwork, and coaching, I offer guidance, feedback, resources, and techniques for helping you to deepen your engagement with your inner life.

My coaching work focuses on using the Enneagram and Instinctual Drives for personal development, counseling for inner work, consulting, personalized Enneagram teaching to individuals, professionals, and fellow Enneagram teachers. In addition, I consult with and teach the Enneagram to couples, organizations, professional teams as well as lead numerous workshops and retreats.

My clients range from teenagers to septuagenarians, novices, Enneagram professionals, professional coaches, therapists, LGBTQ+, celebrities, small businesses, professional teams, business leadership, and major social media platforms.

I’m co-founder of The Enneagram School. I’ve led multiple workshops and inner work retreats in the USA and in several countries, given presentations for businesses and organizations, presented several times at the International Enneagram Association Global Conference and been featured for several years on the Shift Network’s Enneagram Global Summit, co-led inner work pilgrimages through Egypt. I co-host a weekly Enneagram podcast, and most recently, I’ve published my own book.

I offer:

  1. Personalized Coaching and Consulting using Enneagram for deepening Inner Work. We begin with working on the development of the personality and seek to make a bridge to work on Being. This is a minimum of 3 sessions followed by ad-hoc calls.

  2. Support for Enneagram Teachers
    For Enneagram professionals of any kind who need someone who can help you refine your understanding, teaching style, or how to teach it.

  3. Typing Sessions. Are you trying to figure out your type, wing, instinct, or trifix? Or are you curious about how to apply these distinctions to your inner work? I can help.

  4. A general two hour Introduction to the Enneagram as a tool of self-observation and inner work practice where we go over key points of the Nine Types together and work to refine the orientation one takes to the Enneagram overall.

  5. A more extensive Foundations of the Enneagram course where we’ll cover the system overall, some of its background and how to most effectively use it, the types, the centers of intelligence, the instinctual drives, and some of the deeper dynamics. The requirement is 4 weekly 1 ½ hour sessions followed by ad-hoc calls, depending on the client’s interest.

  6. Enneagram Study Partner. If you have an area of expertise or a specific interest and are in need of exploring how to connect it to the Enneagram, if you’re writing a book or working on some sort of Enneagram project and need someone to help you work through certain ideas or need creative resources and feedback, I can help. If there’s an inner work or psychological topic you want to tackle but need someone to dive in with, or if you need help in learning how to be a better teacher, coach, or Enneagram facilitator, all these kinds of things I am useful for.

  7. Symbolist Egypt Studies. For me, Ancient Egypt is primarily an experience that invites engagement with esoteric and spiritual themes, modes of understanding, and practices in a way that not only enriches countless features of modern spirituality and practice, mythology, and creativity, but it is also a way of reclaiming the mystical core of many spiritual fragments within our culture.

  8. Workshops and Retreats for Groups and Organizations. I offer workshops and classes for teams, professionals, and organizations looking to improve their ability to work together or to integrate the wisdom of the Enneagram into their work.

    My hourly rate is flexible, but my regular rate is $200/hr depending on ability to pay, via paypal or venmo.


    Don’t hesitate to ask about other rates if you’re in a challenging financial situation.

    I also teach courses and workshops online. The rates vary. Go to New York Enneagram to buy some previously recorded online workshops.

Testimonials (more on my “About Me” page):

Despite studying the Enneagram for over 10 years, I still had confusion understanding what my dominant instinctual drive was and recognise fully how it impacts my choices in life.

After a couple of individual sessions with John, I gained clarity on exactly what each instinct was (many authors describe different things), insight on how my instinctual stacking manifests and finally valuable teaching on how to be present to, and work towards, balancing all three instincts as nature intended. 

I would recommend working with John as he has both an in -depth understanding of The Enneagram and our humanity. “

- T.

My sessions with John, which included enneagram coaching and breathwork, were filled with insight, compassion, and a rare presence that made true contact, even via Zoom. Not only did I learn a lot about myself through his knowledge of the enneagram, but I also learned ways to stand up against a part of myself that was keeping me from thriving. John's deep understanding of the human condition and his passion for sharing that truth has helped me discover myself in ways I didn't even know were possible.

-Karin Prybock

Through regular Enneagram sessions, John has helped me to see the thought and behavior patterns that have been operating for decades, and start to discover what's underneath them. As a Nine, accepting that I have needs and desires (let alone expressing them!!) is a daily struggle, and the reflections from John, along with meditation showed me how my Superego was/is hijacking my attention for much of the day, and has given me concrete tools to gently find my way back to what's actually happening around me.

As a type nine who spends much of time in mental loops, he's helping me to get back in touch with my Heart and my Gut, and to include my experience in the present moment.

Even over video calls, he's attention to my energy is impeccable. As a withdrawn type I can go FAAAAAR AWAY if I want; John patiently but directly invites me back. (no sugary BS, to which I have a strong aversion - a gut reaction!) He sees me when I don't feel worthy of being seen.

I don't know how else to say it, but John helped to find, in my own meandering way and words, a place in myself where I know, simply, that my existence matters.”

-Thomas G.

Even though I'm trained + certified in techniques to overcome self-limiting bullshit, and have read a lot about my type, I kept hitting the same self-sabotaging walls over and over. I'd have an "epiphany" but I wasn't actually physically and emotionally processing any of it (or giving it enough space to actually be experienced). Being 'aware' and being 'Aware' are two totally different things.

I started working with John back in October, and we've been going deep using the Enneagram and Breathwork. I've moved through so many limitations and have been able to get to the core of my issues - which was *not at all* what I thought it was.

When life's bullshit wraps itself around you like a fuckin' boa constrictor, you too can turn it into a complimentary fashion accessory - like Britney at the VMAs - by working with John.“

-Larissa T. - writer, hypnotherapist

I reached out to John, after an existential crisis, certain that I was a really messed up and hopeless 4 and looking for support in getting to healthier levels and more productive self discovery. Shortly after we "met" he gently and carefully informed me that I am in fact #notafour. I spent the next week diving deep into what I could be and returned to him saying "so I suppose you think I'm a 9".

"Nope".
"You think I'm a 7?!?!"
"I think you might be a 7."

It was literally the last thing I would have guessed, but what I know now is that once I was typed *correctly*, I found hope and a road map to help me shift from default modes of survival into growth, peace, stability, confidence, pride, and a wholly new sense of self. It's been so productive and SO FUN working with John.

I've been a seeker all of my life and I have never experienced such profound results from my efforts. John has met me where I'm at every time we talk. I never ever feel judged or like I'm "too much". I feel totally seen, but not in a corny, gooey, softey kind of way...in a cool, real, grounded, heart space, Four, kind of way.

Literally every aspect and relationship of my life has improved in a mindblowing, and honestly unexpected way, from my relationships with my parents, my worklife, and probably most importantly my relationship with myself.
