Kess has extensive training and experience with yoga, mindfulness, nonviolent communication, Enneagram coaching and much more. She is an alert and sensitive teacher/coach who listens deeply and then offers help that is customized to my personal needs. I didn’t know anything about Enneagram study and was a little skeptical about it, but Kess doesn’t use it to pigeonhole anyone. She asks me to observe my behaviors and my interactions with others and then we use the Enneagram as a framework for discussing my observations. It has opened my eyes to alternatives to my habitual way of seeing things. In considering how my friends, family and coworkers might view a situation, I see ways to potentially strengthen and improve my relationships. This has helped me to develop compassion and a more flexible way of thinking. Speaking of flexibility, one day I came to our session with a lot of back pain. Even though I don’t know any yoga, Kess led me through a few simple moves that brought me immediate relief. She was patient and gentle and I could sense her long experience in working with people in pain. She is truly a caring and experienced teacher and I highly value our time together
