Artwork by: Lissa-Friedman.com

This immersive, fully self-paced certification is designed for professionals and enthusiasts seeking a deep, experiential understanding of the Enneagram. Blending traditional Enneagram wisdom with somatic embodiment practices, this program explores how each type influences the nervous system—and how reconnecting with the felt sense of essence supports profound healing and personal transformation.

Rooted in the teachings of Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo, this program integrates Tammy’s Essence Embodiment methodology—a powerful approach to healing through the Enneagram. Her work is informed by training in an internationally accredited three-year Enneagram school led by her mother, Lissa Friedman, PhD, as well as studies with A. H. Almaas, Helen Palmer, David Daniels, Beatrice Chestnut, and Eli Jaxon-Bear.
