But doorways to a deeper truth about who you really are?
There is a way through.
And this ancient spiritual tool, when properly understood and practiced,
helps you understand what truly motivates your actions,
accept yourself at a deeper level,
and find your way out of the patterns you keep repeating.

The Enneagram serves as a map for spiritual development, showing how each type's core motivations and patterns can become doorways to higher consciousness. It reveals that what we often see as personality flaws are actually distorted expressions of our deepest gifts. By understanding these patterns, we can transform our automatic reactions into conscious responses and discover our authentic spiritual essence.
If you’ve spent years doing inner work, you’ve probably asked:
“Why does this still keep happening?”
“What am I missing?
“I should know better by now…”
But here’s the truth most growth work skips over:
You don’t need more mindset hacks.
You don’t need to “push through.”
And you definitely don’t need to fix yourself.
The reactions you can’t seem to stop?
They’re not signs of failure.
They’re messengers.
What looks like procrastination, people-pleasing, or perfectionism…
…is often just a distorted expression of something deeper and wiser inside you
— a part of you that formed to keep you safe.
But that part isn’t the problem.
The real issue is you’ve never been shown the full map — the deeper blueprint behind why you do what you do.
When you can see that pattern clearly — with compassion and context — everything changes.
You stop reacting and start responding
You stop judging yourself and start understanding yourself
You stop hiding behind your tools — and start guiding from true presence
This is the shift.
From coping… to consciousness.
From personality… to Presence.
From stuck… to awake.
See yourself living more and more in self-awareness and Presence. Feel the pride as your awareness becomes a catalyst for profound change. Enjoy the satisfaction of using a tool that brings greater clarity and purpose to your life and to everyone around you. Finally accept yourself as you are — and realize there's nothing to fix or change. Truly learn that you are more than one fixed point. The points on the Enneagram invite you to all that is possible.
I’ve spent the last 10+ years coaching spiritual teachers, ministers, and coaches — the very people others look to for guidance.
And what I’ve seen, again and again, is this:
Even the most gifted leaders still struggle with the same repeating patterns.
Not because they haven’t done the work.
But because no one ever showed them the real map
for why those patterns show up in the first place — and how to meet them with compassion instead of control.
That’s why I teach a system rooted in ancient wisdom and modern psychology — one that reveals the hidden motivations driving our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
As a coach, teacher, and “empathic provocateur,” I’m here to help you:
Understand the deeper WHY behind your reactions
Spot the patterns that keep you stuck (even the subtle ones)
Lead with more clarity, presence, and inner peace
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about reconnecting you to the truth that’s already inside you — and helping you bring that version of you into everything you do.

You’ll get personal guidance and feedback to help you apply what you’re learning to real moments in your life and work. This isn’t passive — it’s practice.
Understand the motivations, fixations, and growth paths for every type — so you can use this framework to guide others with compassion and accuracy and develop more of the capacities in yourself as well.
Get practical techniques to shift out of ego-driven reactions — and into your essential self — right when it matters most.
You’ll leave with a tailored plan to integrate this system into your own spiritual practice and your day-to-day life.
You’ll be part of a private online space where you can share insights, ask questions, and connect with other growth-minded people on the same path.
Week 1
Where's It Taking Us?
We set the foundation — what the Enneagram actually is, why it's unlike any other personality system, and how it serves as a map for spiritual development and lasting transformation. You'll leave this session with a clear sense of the journey ahead.
Week 2
History & the Body Center — Point 8
We explore the origins and wisdom tradition behind the Enneagram, then dive into the Body (Gut) Center and its instinctual intelligence. Point 8 — The Challenger — is examined in depth: its gifts, its shadow, and its path to true presence. And practice experiencing the Vitality of an 8.
Week 3
Body Center Continued — Points 9 & 1
We complete the Body Center with Point 9 (The Peacemaker) and Point 1 (The Reformer). You'll see how all three gut-center types share a core relationship with anger — and how understanding that changes everything about how you respond rather than react. You'll learn to harness the best of the attributes of both points 9 & 1.
Week 4
The Heart Center — Points 2, 3 & 4
We move into the Heart (Feeling) Center and explore Points 2 (The Helper), 3 (The Achiever), and 4 (The Romantic). These types navigate life through image and emotion — and discovering their deeper truth unlocks extraordinary compassion for yourself and others. We'll all leave with our hearts more expanded.
Week 5
The Head Center — Points 5, 6 & 7
We enter the Head (Thinking) Center with Points 5 (The Observer), 6 (The Loyalist), and 7 (The Enthusiast). These types share a core relationship with fear — and learning to see that pattern clearly is one of the most liberating shifts you can make. We learn to appreciate what the head was really meant to do.
Week 6
Where Do We Go From Here?
We integrate everything — how all 9 types connect, how to use your personal growth map in real life and in your work with others, and how to keep deepening this practice long after the course ends. You'll leave with clarity, tools, and a renewed sense of direction.
Before:
You second-guess your responses, even though you “know better.”
You still get caught in old habits you thought you’d healed.
You hide the messy parts of your journey because you’re the one others rely on.
You sometimes use your type as an excuse because it's who you think you are.
After:
You meet triggers with clarity, not confusion.
You see exactly why you respond the way you do — and how to shift it.
You guide others from a place of true embodiment and presence.
You open to more of your Essence and who you came here to be.
I never really understood enneagrams before this class. I heard people ask about them like they might ask about your Zodiac sign at a party. Words like ‘helper’, and ‘artist’ were tossed about. I had an inherent inclination to choose something that met with my self-vision. something complementary.
As I delved deeper, I didn’t like my enneagram, the number 8. I continued testing to identify the error in the initial test. Eight was ‘control’, and I dislike being controlled, viscerally so. What I learned is that this type was a way of survival for me in childhood, the only way to live through the trauma of my young years. I had to control things for my own sanity in an insane environment. I learned that I grew into the light side of type over the years and that I wouldn’t be who I am otherwise. My leadership type, when exercised from a place of feeling safe, does relate to being a caretaker, a peacemaker, and a deep-thinking observer. My leadership skills, when exercised from a place of making the world better, don’t have anything to do with controlling other people. I also learned that I had many rivers to cross to get here, some dark and darker places to slug through along the way, and that by following my own light, I grew into my best version of this type so far.
I can see the benefit of studying it in choosing work teammates and understanding your life partner, family members, and friends, though primarily, we must first know ourselves first. It is a deep study that tells us so much about who we are, why we are the way we are, and how we interact with other types.
Thank you, Dr. Toni! I am wiser and better for it. – Alexandra M, Mexico
Exploring the Enneagram is an adventure in self-discovery. Toni took us on a delightful journey by describing the Enneagram and what it can mean to each of us as we explore our own type and how each type relates to all the others. I learned that the Enneagram can help me understand myself and my relationships so much more clearly. By the time the course ended, I had glimpsed a great deal about myself and how I interact with others. It became increasingly clear to me that awareness is vitally important in the work of transformation. And Toni provided many opportunities for sharing, learning about myself, and establishing a deeper connection with others.

The Class with Dr. Toni is an answer to a prayer of many years on my physical & spiritual journey into healing & wholeness . It is all about TRANSFORMATION for me & is deeply grounded in the new science & research of the Heart Math Institute which has been a part of my healing journey & practice for some years now. It’s about the transformation of old, false beliefs & thought patterns & the re-wiring of the brain & nervous system. It is affirmation that together Science and spirituality can work just as the marrying of our Heart and brain & can bring about Healing, Wholeness, and transformation not only for us individually but for ALL OF CREATION.

Toni is a delight! I took a class on the Enneagram with Toni LaMotta and found it engaging, entertaining, and most importantly insightful. Although I had read two books and had viewed online presentations on the Enneagram, I found Toni’s Zoom class offered a different way of viewing this helpful tool for learning more about myself as well as how I relate to others based on my type. I especially enjoyed the incorporation of songs to represent each of the Enneagram types..If you have never heard of the Enneagram or are looking to learn more about it or yourself, I would highly recommend this course.
- Linda G.
Taking Toni’s Enneagram is such a treat since she emphasizes the positive, healing aspects of the inner work we are called to do. Toni’s teaching is exquisite, filled with so much enlightening content and her own style of healing insights. I have taken many Enneagram classes and even taught a few, and I gained more transformational skills with Toni’s gift of teaching.
- Marcia F.
I loved Toni’s Enneagram workshop. I was mildly familiar with the Enneagram but Toni really enhanced my understanding and spiritual perspective, giving me some lasting rich knowings that have proved fruitful.
