Welcome, I'm Abbi!

​

I'm an Accredited Enneagram Teacher & Certified Somatic Practitioner. My work centers on partnering with people as they try to make sense of their lives and inviting them to take on a posture of curiosity about themselves and others. I teach virtual workshop series, coach individuals, and facilitate custom workshops for organizations. I am also the host of the podcast Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez and an educational Instagram page @enneagramspace. I'm an IEA Accredited Enneagram Professional, trauma-informed Somatic Practitioner, and have a Masters in Student Development that supports my work. In addition to my Enneagram work, my life is filled with family time with my husband & two young children.

​

Finding the Enneagram:

I love to learn and to be a part of other's learning process. For years that passion ​led me to a decade-long career in Student Development within a university setting. In 2015, a dear colleague introduced me to the Enneagram and I've been captivated by it ever since.

​

In 2020, I started my coaching practice and obtained my 180 hour certification as a Narrative Enneagram Practitioner. This certification, in addition to my Masters of Student Development, have laid the foundation for my work as an Enneagram Teacher & Coach.

​

Finding Somatic Integration:

I received an introduction to Somatic work in the Narrative Enneagram IEA Training program as integrating Somatic intelligence is one of the three pillars in their approach. As I started coaching & teaching small groups with the Enneagram framework, I began to realize that although the Enneagram offers us an incredible tool for insight and self-awareness, the intellectual knowledge of this framework could only take an individual so far in their growth & healing process. More & more I found that the basic somatic techniques I had gleamed from my Narrative Enneagram training had become essential in the coaching space for individuals experiencing burnout, hopelessness, and stress. 

​

This desire to continue being equipped to support my coaching clients started me on a journey of learning more in the world of somatic integration. In 2021, I received a 60-hr certification as a Trauma Informed Somatic Integration Therapist through Embody Lab. In 2022, I received a 100-hr certification as a Somatic Stress Release Practitioner under the teaching and supervision of Dr. Scott Lyons and his team.
