How do you use your understanding of the Enneagram with people in your life without saying the word ‘enneagram’ ?  Shantris shares the beauty of simply being aware of the energy of other people to give them support in the ways they need it and, as she says...holding space with "Gracious Expectations." Shantris is a trauma and Enneagram-informed postpartum doula and parent educator. She is also an Operations professional primarily providing financial, administrative, and organizational support to Black-led nonprofit organizations. Shantris trained as a Perinatal Community Health Worker at Mamatoto Village, a Washington DC based family support organization dedicated to creating career pathways and providing accessible perinatal support services for Women of Color. Her passion for BIPOC family empowerment has influenced not only her trajectory in the nonprofit sector, but also her decision to launch EPIC Parent Education & Consulting, where she offers workshops, small groups, and 1:1 consulting designed to enhance parental capacity and awareness. She loves outdoor running, (mostly) keeping her houseplants alive, sampling her husband’s home-roasted coffees, and tagging along on the backyard adventures of her two children.   Contact: IG: @loveshanyshan + @epicblackparents (this page isn't actually active yet lol) Email: [email protected]
