Welcome to The 9 Within

There’s a moment in every person’s journey when something inside begins to stir. It might show up quietly, like a sense of restlessness, a longing for more depth. Or it might be a loud call to adventure that you can't ignore, shaking up what we thought we knew about ourselves.

The 9 Within was born from one of those moments in my own life. A turning point where I realized that real transformation isn’t about arriving anywhere, rather it's about getting curious, listening to what's coming from within and reconnecting with the creative, curious and playful parts of who we are.

This is personal development, but done differently.

I’ve spent over a decade immersed in the world of personal growth, exploring and training in tools like the Enneagram, Positive Psychology, NLP and Meta-Coaching.

Along the way, I noticed something: these tools are powerful, and they all have their own purpose standing alone, and almost all of the modalities I’ve worked with describe, in one way or another, the importance of including all three centres of intelligence in our healing and development:

• Our head (thinking)

• Our heart (feeling)

• Our bodies (being)

In my own experience, it didn’t seem to matter which centre I was working with—when approached in isolation, inner work often felt… heavy. Linear. One-directional. Like something essential was missing.

What I was longing for was a more integrated way to grow. Usually, I was looking for a way to use my body and soul in "the work" and to balance my thinking content. For creativity. For all the layers and contradictions of being human. A way that made room for wholeness.

Why “The 9 Within”?

The name is a nod to the Enneagram - a map of human patterns that’s been a huge part of my own inner work. My core type is Type 9, and I’ve always been drawn to its central gift: the ability to see wholeness. To hold opposites. To find peace in complexity.

But this isn’t just about one type. The 9 Within represents the full spectrum of who we are, all the types, all the voices, all the forgotten parts we carry inside. It’s about coming home to ourselves. Not to just one version of who we “should” be, but to the layered, creative, evolving self, that’s already within us.

What we Believe?

At The 9 Within, we believe that self-awareness shouldn’t feel like a chore. It should feel like a homecoming. A return to yourself.

We value:

• Playfulness – Because growth can be fun, silly, and messy.

• Curiosity & Openness – We don’t need all the answers to begin.

• Creativity – Art, colour, and imagination invite the kind of discovery that thinking alone can't reach.

• Authenticity & Self-Connection – There’s power and comfort in being real.

• Acceptance – You don’t have to change to be worthy.

  
  

These values are baked into everything we create—from our workbook-style projects to the way we hold space for reflection.

What You'll Find Here

The 9 Within is a space for uncommon personal development. You’ll find:

• Colour Within Projects – Creative, downloadable workbooks that explore themes relevant to everyone. A blend of spiritual insight, Enneagram wisdom, and hands-on practices.

• Enneagram Coaching: A private space with me where you can slow down, reflect, and deepen your connection to self. Whether you're navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, coaching offers a compassionate container for insight, clarity, and rapid transformation.

• Art Therapy Sessions: These sessions provide a supported, non-judgmental space to explore emotions, experiences, and inner landscapes using creative processes. No art skills required—just a willingness to show up and be curious.

• Stories: Here I'll share explorations of personal growth, spiritual insights, and lessons from the journey, along with journaling prompts, art-based activities, and space to explore your inner world at your own pace.

  
  

Whether you're brand new to self-development or have been doing this work for years, you’re welcome here.

Why it's Different

This isn’t about becoming better. It’s about becoming more you. We don’t do self-improvement checklists. We don’t chase perfection. Instead, we create space for wonder, creativity, play and of course, for compassion. Because the more you soften into who you already are, the more you’ll find what’s been waiting inside you all along.

An Invitation

If you’ve ever felt like traditional personal development didn’t quite fit, or if you’re craving more soul, more colour, more spaciousness in your journey then you’re in the right place.

I invite you to explore a Colour Within Project. Wander through the stories. Create something messy. Ask a new question. This is your journey, your pace, your path.

And I’m so glad you’re here.
