The Enneagram: A Powerful Tool for Growth and Connection at The Healing Reins

At The Healing Reins, we’re passionate about creating spaces where you can find rest, renewal, and deeper connection—with yourself, your loved ones, and the natural world. One of the tools we love incorporating into our therapeutic and wellness offerings is the Enneagram. It’s not just a personality system; it’s a way to better understand yourself, grow, and connect more meaningfully with the people in your life.

Whether you’re looking to heal, uncover new insights, or simply understand yourself and others on a deeper level, the Enneagram can be a powerful guide.

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a tool that explores nine personality types, each with its own unique way of seeing and experiencing the world. These types aren’t about putting you in a box—they’re about helping you understand why you do what you do.

Here’s a quick glimpse into the nine types:

1. The Perfectionist – Striving for integrity and excellence.

2. The Helper – Focused on connection and caring for others.

3. The Achiever – Motivated by goals and the desire to feel valued.

4. The Individualist – Seeking authenticity and emotional depth.

5. The Investigator – Driven by curiosity and self-sufficiency.

6. The Loyalist – Anchored in trust and creating a sense of safety.

7. The Enthusiast – Energized by adventure and possibilities.

8. The Challenger – Empowered by strength and leadership.

9. The Peacemaker – Longing for harmony and inner peace.

Each type has its own strengths, challenges, and ways of moving through the world. Exploring your type—and the types of those closest to you—can lead to some truly eye-opening moments.

Why We Use the Enneagram at The Healing Reins

We’ve seen firsthand how the Enneagram can help people break free from patterns that no longer serve them and step into a fuller understanding of themselves. When we pair this with the healing power of nature, horses, and creative practices, it creates an incredible space for growth and transformation.

Here’s how the Enneagram can be part of your journey with us:

1. Discover Yourself

The Enneagram helps you understand what drives your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can shine a light on areas where you feel stuck and open the door to meaningful growth. Whether it’s during a retreat or a private session, we use the Enneagram to guide you in uncovering more of who you are.

2. Deepen Your Relationships

When you understand your Enneagram type, you start to see how it shapes your interactions. Learning about your loved ones’ types can bring more compassion and understanding to your relationships. Many of our experiences are designed to help families, couples, and groups grow closer together.

3. Find Your Next Step

The Enneagram doesn’t just describe who you are—it shows you where to go next. Whether it’s building healthier habits, setting boundaries, or being more present, we’ll help you take practical steps toward the growth you’re seeking.

4. Connect with Nature and Horses

Horses have an incredible ability to see what’s happening inside us. When we pair equine-assisted services with insights from the Enneagram, the experience becomes even richer. The horses can help you tune into your emotions and align with your true self, all while the Enneagram helps you make sense of it in a deeper way.
