WELCOME TO NUANCE ENNEAGRAM COACHING
At Nuance Enneagram Coaching, I believe the journey toward self-discovery is one of life’s most fulfilling adventures. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching space for you to explore your motivations, understand your relationships, and become the healthiest version of yourself.
What Is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a self-awareness and growth tool that reveals the core motivations behind your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Unlike other personality systems that focus on external traits, the Enneagram helps you understand why you do what you do—offering insight into both your strengths and challenges.
With nine personality types, each shaped by unique fears and desires, the Enneagram provides a roadmap for breaking unhelpful patterns, improving relationships, and living with more intention. It’s not about labeling you—it’s about understanding yourself and others on a deeper level.
Our Philosophy
Individuality Over Labels: Many personality systems can feel like they’re putting you in a box. The Enneagram does the opposite—it uncovers why you think, feel, and act the way you do. In other words, it helps you get out of the box you didn't even know you were in.
Growth Through Self Awareness: True personal development starts with awareness. Once you see your unhelpful patterns, you can replace them with more balanced ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This process is compassionate and challenging—celebrating your gifts while facing your blind spots.
Better Together: The Enneagram isn’t just about self-discovery; it’s also about understanding how others see the world. We often hear the phrase, “Treat others how you want to be treated,” but what if that’s not enough? Kristen believes in a revised Golden Rule—“Treat others how THEY want to be treated.”
Each Enneagram type has different motivations, fears, and needs. By understanding how someone else naturally thinks and feels, we can communicate in a way that resonates with them, not just with us. This shift fosters deep empathy, stronger connections, and healthier communication in families, friendships, workplaces, and communities. True connection comes not from assuming others think like we do, but from honoring and appreciating the unique way they experience the world.
Our Symbol (The Butterfly)
The butterfly is a potent symbol of transformation and freedom—themes that resonate deeply with the Enneagram journey. Like the caterpillar that evolves through the cocoon stage, personal change can feel daunting yet exhilarating. When we emerge with new insights, we experience a sense of lightness, joy, and renewed possibility.
Metamorphosis: The Enneagram encourages us to shed limiting beliefs and move toward a more expansive, authentic life.
Beauty in Diversity: Butterflies come in endless varieties, each with its own patterns and hues—just like people. We’re all different, yet all beautiful.

Kristen Caldwell
Hello! I’m Kristen Caldwell, an Enneagram Practitioner and Adaptive Sports Instructor with a background in Recreational Therapy (MA, CTRS). I live in Heber City, Utah with my partner and 3 children. I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, reading, and meaningful conversation. As an Enneagram Type 1, I am always striving to improve myself, others, and the world through physical activity and personal development.
How I Found the Enneagram
I majored in Psychology in college and I’ve always been drawn to understanding why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. I’ve taken multiple personality tests over the years, but none of them quite captured the depth of who I was—until I found the Enneagram. Instead of putting me in a box, it revealed the nuance (hence my business name) of my personality and helped me understand the various parts of me. I was able to recognize and celebrate my strengths, while acknowledging and challenging my blind spots.
The Walt Whitman Effect
One of my favorite quotes is from Walt Whitman:
“Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)”
This idea resonates deeply with me—and with the Enneagram itself. We aren’t just one thing. We are complex, layered, and ever-evolving. The Enneagram embraces this truth, allowing us to explore our contradictions, accept ourselves fully, and grow in ways that feel authentic.
Why I Do This Work
After years of self-study, I became a certified Enneagram Practitioner and launched Nuance Enneagram Coaching to help others experience the same clarity and transformation. My goal is to guide you toward greater self-understanding, stronger relationships, and evolving into the best version of yourself.
Testimonials
Paige
"Kristen introduced me to the Enneagram and conducted my first-ever Enneagram typing interview. This helped me discover and confirm traits and self-ideology that I had been aware of and assign an identity to those I wasn’t as aware of. Kristen is knowledgeable about the Enneagram and conducted the interview professionally and warmly. She was proficient and organized and provided insights and materials afterward to help me expand my development more meaningfully and pragmatically. I would recommend Kristen for Enneagram typing."
Kyle
"Kristen created a safe and supportive atmosphere during my Enneagram interview. She guided me in exploring my motivations, which helped me gain clarity about my type. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristen!"
Shannon
"Kristen provided a comfortable setting to help guide me through understanding my Enneagran type. She was patient and worked with me to gain better self awareness of my motivations. She also helped me gain clarity on how my Enneagram type interacts with others. I appreciate that Kristen challenged me to look at how to better interact with other types. It was a great experience and I highly recommend working with her."
