The Bold Nine for Enneagram 9s
Your life could feel easier and more fun.
With the right tools and support, you can unlock the bold, self-assured person that you truly are. You can step outside of the “Nine box” that you find yourself in.
Join The Bold Nine and start experiencing shifts in the way you feel right away.
The Bold Nine is a simple, effective coaching program that I created specifically for Enneagram Type Nines or other gentle folks who are ready to stop holding themselves back from creating a better life.
What does a Bold Nine look like?
Someone who...
- can move into conflict in a healthy, purposeful way
- can discern how they feel and what they truly want
- can speak more honestly about their feelings and desires
- can just be themselves, not worrying about everyone's opinions
- can allow themselves to feel their feelings (including joy AND discomfort) instead of numbing with things like food or electronic devices
- accomplishes more of what they set out to do
Awareness brings choice. Practice brings change.
Trying to overcome your unhealthy habits and to show up more confidently by reading self- improvement books or listening to podcasts only gives you one piece of what is needed.
You need practice…coupled with skilled, specific help. As a Certified Life Coach and Somatic (Body-Based) Coach, I have the training, experience and skills to take you from slothful… to hopeful… to purposeful.
My clients report big changes in the way they feel and show up.

There are different levels of development for each of the Enneagram Types. Below are the levels for the Nine, as described by The Enneagram Institute.
Coaching is recommended if you find yourself at “healthy” or “high-average” levels (levels 1-5) most of the time. Coaching helps a person who is on solid ground with their emotional and mental health, to enjoy and get more out of their lives.
Heather recommends a body-based therapy like ART, EMDR, or Somatic Therapy for trauma healing if you often find yourself at “low-average to unhealthy levels” (levels 6-9.)
The Bold Nine is the perfect companion to therapy, though. It’s helpful for anyone! You may just need more support than what coaching can provide.
TYPE NINE – Levels of Development -The Enneagram Institute:
Healthy Levels
Level 1 (At Their Best): Become self-possessed, feeling autonomous and fulfilled: have great equanimity and contentment because they are present to themselves. Paradoxically, at one with self, and thus able to form more profound relationships. Intensely alive, fully connected to self and others.
Level 2: Deeply receptive, accepting, unselfconscious, emotionally stable and serene. Trusting of self and others, at ease with self and life, innocent and simple. Patient, unpretentious, good-natured, genuinely nice people.
Level 3: Optimistic, reassuring, supportive: have a healing and calming influence—harmonizing groups, bringing people together: a good mediator, synthesizer, and communicator.
Average Levels
Level 4: Fear conflicts, so become self-effacing and accommodating, idealizing others and “going along” with their wishes, saying “yes” to things they do not really want to do. Fall into conventional roles and expectations. Use philosophies and stock sayings to deflect others.
Level 5: Active, but disengaged, unreflective, and inattentive. Do not want to be affected, so become unresponsive and complacent, walking away from problems, and “sweeping them under the rug.” Thinking becomes hazy and ruminative, mostly comforting fantasies, as they begin to “tune out” reality, becoming oblivious. Emotionally indolent, unwillingness to exert self or to focus on problems: indifference.
Level 6: Begin to minimize problems, to appease others and to have “peace at any price.” Stubborn, fatalistic, and resigned, as if nothing could be done to change anything. Into wishful thinking, and magical solutions. Others frustrated and angry by their procrastination and unresponsiveness.
Unhealthy Levels
Level 7: Can be highly repressed, undeveloped, and ineffectual. Feel incapable of facing problems: become obstinate, dissociating self from all conflicts. Neglectful and dangerous to others.
Level 8: Wanting to block out of awareness anything that could affect them, they dissociate so much that they eventually cannot function: numb, depersonalized.
Level 9: They finally become severely disoriented and catatonic, abandoning themselves, turning into shattered shells. Multiple personalities possible. Generally corresponds to the Schizoid and Dependent personality disorders.
If you feel that 1:1 coaching would be a better fit, you may upgrade, pending availability. The Bold Nine is included in your 1:1 coaching partnership. You can learn more about that on the Services page.
The Bold Nine Academy launched in September of 2022. At the time, Heather provided weekly group calls and in-person workshops. As times are changing, people are feeling tired of big group zoom calls and are wanting their help to be more bite-sized and convenient. This new version of The Bold Nine is easier to include in your day. It has more bite-sized, easy-to-integrate content and still keeps you on your game mentally and emotionally.
The only live Zoom calls that we have now are the monthly workshops.
We also have an easy-access app with a built-in community.
If you would like a higher-touch coaching experience with Heather, please check out her private coaching and small group experiences, listed on the Services page of this website.
