KATIE GAY
“As a Loyalist (Six), my basic desire is to have support and guidance and Katie Gay not only provided that in spades, but expertly helped guide me in discovering how to identify and understand my dominant personality type. Katie’s coaching using the Enneagram allowed me to become aware of my habits and unconscious patterns and recognize where I get stuck and how I can be more empowered. I love the Enneagram’s potential for growth; learning from Katie about my personality type at its best and how to aspire to those qualities and traits has been invaluable” – T.J. Smith
