Her intuition is unbelievably strong and she knows the Enneagram as no other teacher I have ever met. She helped me tremendously in my personal growth. If you are serious about getting to know yourself in all honesty, she is your coach!"
-Sandra De Clercq, Owner, Match@Work, Professional Coaching

When Katherine told me about the Planes of Consciousness, it opened a whole new perspective for me to look at myself, personal growth, typing people and life in general.It is a crucial key to understand yourself and others and now I even wonder how I could help myself and others before I knew the about the Planes... It is that deep and essential. Combining the Planes of Consciousness with the Enneagram is extremely powerful to understand the way your personality and soul interact. I believe it is impossible to fully understand an individual if you don't see the plane of consciousness they are functioning on.

Seeing this gave me way more compassion for others because I understand why they are doing what they are doing. It has had the same effect as learning about the Enneagram; it brought understanding and kindness. The Enneagram is about the psychological path and the Planes of Consciousness are about the spiritual path. Realizing that we are all spiritual beings made it clear to me that the Enneagram can not explain everything and that we need the Planes of Consciousness to attain full understanding. It changed my life in a very profound way and brought me more in touch with my true Essence, my Soul.  
-Sandra De Clercq, Owner, Match@Work Professional Coaching

"Katherine Chernick Fauvre has been a very helpful teacher and Enneagram Life Coach for many years, working with me to understand better and deal with the major issues keeping me from achieving my greatest personal and professional satisfaction and success.

-Jane Kroll

"Katherine is a gifted educator. She has allowed me to see so many of the strengths and challenges present in my ever phobic 6-ness. As I have studied the Enneagram on my own, it is Katherine who has been the teacher that has brought this system to life for me. She has an uncanny ability to ask the critical questions, make the astute observations, and also to encourage the inherent 'leap' that is required to really make a change in one's behavior.  

During our time together she uses her deep empathy in conjunction with a wry sense of humor to open up new ways of being in the world. I've learned about the core wounds of each Enneagram type and the path to healing and growth.”
Katherine is a treasure and a very knowledgeable guide along this path called life."
-Mary G. Anderson, Life Management Consulting

“Dear Katherine, I am writing to thank you for the coaching session with you. It was the one of those life-changing moments. I went straight to bed afterwards and slept better than I have in years. I awoke the day after feeling happier than I have for months. I managed to keep the momentum going all day and was surprised to discover that the usual bombardment of negative thoughts was completely absent. I am lighter in every sense of the word. Your ability to get to the core of my issues was such a tremendous help, I cannot even begin to tell you. It's as if everything makes sense now, because I am able to, for the first time ever, explain my anger and more importantly, understand where it comes from.  My chant is SING. My photo is on the way to you also.You are truly special and you have changed my life by helping me get out of this destructive pattern of mine. For that I will be eternally grateful. Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it. All the best–Om shanti”

“I am a Relationship Coach specializing in dating. The material presented in this workshop opened my eyes wide, created a deeper understanding of personality structure, and vastly improved my typing ability. The synthesis of Core Energetic Type, Instinctual Subtype and Enneagram Type creates a map of 27 personality structures with their attendant fears, desires and defense strategies. Its an amazing tool. The teach is didactic, drawing on a detailed manual, and practical, drawing on classmates, friends and celebrities as exemplars of fashion choices, facial expressions and body posture. Consequently, when I went to Whole Foods the afternoon after the workshop ended, I experienced seeing sub-types walking around. I was amazed. I also left with a vivid illustration depicting what unconsciously plays out in relationships and life. This had an awakening effect giving me more choice and less re-activity when faced with the events of my life. Totally worth the tuition, I highly recommend this training.” 
-Clifford Haggerty

“I have spent about 30 hours counseling with Katherine during which time I was most impressed by her intelligence, the depth and breadth of her knowledge and her ability to listen to complex ideas, to run them through the many models she uses in her work and to track body cues...all simultaneously and for long periods of time. In my opinion what she does is completely suited to who she is. I got more than what I wanted and expected during my time with Katherine.”

I have taken EPro I,  EPro II  and Enneagram and Spirituality. I have deepened my understanding and knowledge of the Enneagram. As much as I appreciate the wisdom of the enneagram, something was missing for me until I learned about the Tritypes from Katherine. I also appreciate her deep understanding of the subtypes. I have changed the way I understand the enneagram and the way I use it in my work with clients. I really appreciate her wisdom and wealth of knowledge. My work with clients has become even more intuitive as a result, leaving my clients wondering how I know what I know. She is real and genuine. I highly recommend her trainings.”

“I've spent more than $30,000 on countless seminars and courses in personal development and I can truly say that Enneagram and Spirituality is the best that I've attended. The course thoroughly engages your entire being mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Once you are done with it, it will leave you begging for more. 

Most other courses out there have the 'pump and dump' syndrome where they work you up and you feel so excited at the end of the course but once you get home, you lose your drive and you don't know what to do next. This is where Katherine's sources are totally different. The course materials changes you at a subconscious and cellular level so that the positive effects of what you've learned continues to improve your life long after the course is over. The most mind blowing part about Enneagram & Spirituality is when Katherine talked about the planes of consciousness. I almost fell off my chair from to the mind blowing revelations I received as it provided the missing pieces to the puzzle about my life purpose and why I've been the way I've been all my life.

And that's not all. Katherine is a truly humble and approachable teacher. She will really sit down with you to help you to get it right where other teachers out there would be more interested in taking your money and moving on to their next project.  In short, it is impossible to leave a course with Katherine unchanged! The work is so powerful that I have attended 7 week long intensives  and have ongoing coaching.”

"I had the unexpected pleasure of attending Katherine Chernick Fauvre's Enneagram Pro I workshop in Long Beach.  I have known Katherine Fauvre for 7 years, and heard many of her presentations, but this was my first experience in one of her workshops...and it was delightful and surprising. Original, creative work from one of the leaders in the Enneagram field.  She combines anecdotes and skills from decades of client experience with academic-style data-gathering from 1,000s of people...to provide new insights into the motivations and behaviors of a wide variety of people; e.g. Enneastyle (clothing, pictures, and actual word choices of different styles of people), Enneagram Tritype.  Katherine is very friendly and the most unusual Enneagram 8 I've ever met. She has an eye for nuance, appreciation of subtlety, and a warm heart, which reaches out to people–unusual abilities for 8s who are known for their strength, energy, and vitality. It's a great combination."

“I just wanted to thank you so much for helping me figure out my Tritype!  I just bought your Tritype and your Enneastyle books (and the subtype book is on its way too). When I read the two books (Tritype and Enneastyle) it became obvious that I am 962–in that order. I would not have figured this out had I not taken the card test which gave the Enneaspread. Also, I definitely would not have figured it out if I had not taken your Enneastyle questionnaire.  The fact that you asked me to consider the 9 and that I might be mistaking myself for a 5 made all the difference.  I threw the 5 idea out and started rereading 9, 6 and 2 types, and now I make sense to myself in a way I never considered.  It has cleared up quite a bit of confusion! I have been reading all the major enneagram authors for some time now, and I could never figure out whether I was a 5 or 9 until you helped me consider the test results. Now it is obvious.  I will just add that I am adopted, and of course I love my family, but it has always been so hard to know who I am.  This has been such a great help.  I hope someday you get a chance to write even more in depth about Tritype and Enneastyles.  I look forward to any new work that you do.  You are the best!  Thank you!”

“I just returned home and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your presentation on Saturday afternoon at the International Enneagram Conference. I love the work of Joseph Campbell. His ideas had a profound effect on me. The thought of applying the Enneagram to his hero myth had occurred to me, but the way you presented it was truly outstanding. Also the manner in which you relate to one another was such a pleasure to behold. Thank you.”
-Tom Purcell

“I decided to work with Katherine without a specific issue or concern in mind, except to advance my self-awareness and understanding my enneagram tritype. In our first meeting Katherine helped me identify and clarify a self-limiting belief and a constellation of defence strategies organized around this belief. I have gained a deeper insight into how this belief system plays out, how to identify it and most importantly actionable steps to notice this previously unconscious mode of operating. I also gained a deeper understanding of how the tritype functions as a part of this pattern. If you are looking to up your game in terms of self-awareness or wondering just how much further you take your knowledge of the enneagram, fasten your seat belt and sign up for session with with Katherine.”
-Paul,  Canada

“Hi Katherine, I'd like to thank you for everything, for all the research, all the information you made available to all of us. I was able to forgive... bc of your work, bc of you. I was able to understand who I was not... and who I am! I'm DEEPLY grateful to you. I never could have done it without you. This means the world to me. Thank you.”
-K Ballacer

“Dear Katherine, After almost 8 years of on and off studying the Enneagram, I knew there was a lot that I hadn't yet understood, especially about myself. I clicked with what I had seen from you, so I took your test. I thought I was a 4, but in the first session it became quite clear that I wasn't. It was your openness and honesty with the necessary gentleness, that made me realize I was a 2 and your thorough knowledge of the types as they really are and your intuition about human nature in general, you could help me see the other types in my Tritype, too. I feel like I finally got the real gist of the Enneagram. This is all thanks to you being who you are and doing what you do. You're a really generous and benevolent person, you really care about people and instead of manipulating (what I suppose would be easy for you), you want to make their lives better. I feel seen and heard by you and even though you know so much, you leave me my own authority and pace. I finally know I'm a 279 and I'm happy about it. My life and the life of others around me has definitely already changed for the better just by knowing. I'm really looking forward to exploring and finding out more still! Thank you!”
-Alicia Melina

“Being incorrectly typed takes the power out of Enneagram work. I cannot say enough about the need to be correctly typed! I had mistyped myself, and for a number of years felt quite satisfied with being an Enneagram Nine. Making the decision to learn about Tritype, opened up the possibility for me to learn my Truetype. After meeting with Katherine and realizing I was a Type 2, Tritype 269, I truly felt like an entirely new world had opened up. Now the hard work could begin! Katherine’s expertise in this area is preeminent. I am incredibly grateful for her keen insight in helping me see myself as I truly am, not as I wanted to see me.”
-Ann R. Kohl, RN
Enneagram Coach

“I have known Katherine for almost 20 years–she has been my coach, Enneagram teacher, mentor and friend. Her unique gift is her amazing level of knowledge, her sharp sight and her will to go deep with people. I am proud to call her one of my teachers and give her my best remarks.”

“Katherine made me feel listened to as she went through the in-depth inquiry process. She asked the right questions to understand my psychology — and successfully went past my superego to counter-check my defensive strategies. She was very kind during the whole process and very professional in explaining her observations. It was a great session! It was entertaining and very informative. I'm glad to have found my True Type. If you want to do something intelligent and to have an in-depth evaluation of your Enneagram defensive strategies then I strongly suggest you to book her services. You will not regret it.”
- Alessio David Ricioppo Parra

“Hello! I am thoroughly enjoying the Lexicon course I recently purchased and was hopeful to get the list of words for each tritype. Thanks so much! This course is so helpful for typing!’’

"It's a pleasure to endorse Katherine Chernick Fauvre, an eminent pioneer in the field of Enneagram studies and the creator of Tritype®. As a master of microexpressions, visual archetypes, body language, and behavioral analysis within the Enneagram framework, Katherine has developed comprehensive Enneagram practices that integrate these elements seamlessly. Her creation of the in-depth inquiry process and her expertise in lexicon language specific to Enneagram types showcase her unparalleled understanding of personality dynamics.

Katherine's innovative approach also extends to combining Enneagram insights with Myers-Briggs personality types, offering a holistic view of individual and interpersonal dynamics. Her work on the Enneagram in spirituality and empathy further underscores her mastery and thought leadership. Co-creating and co-teaching the Personality Matrix with her has been a profound learning experience. This 10-week intensive program delves into Tritype®, archetypes, the processes of the 16 personality types, and the instinctual subtypes and stacking, providing rich, layered understanding at three levels.

As I near the completion of my certification as a master Enneagram teacher under her guidance, I am continually impressed by Katherine’s depth of knowledge and innovative spirit. Working with her has been an absolute privilege—her dedication to exploring and teaching the nuanced aspects of type is truly inspiring. Katherine Chernick Fauvre is not only a mentor but also a luminary in the psychological community, whose contributions continue to enrich and transform the way we understand human behavior and personality."
