Maren Gauldin
Maren Gauldin is a transformational coach, consultant, and Enneagram guide with more than twenty years of experience supporting individuals, couples, teams, and purpose‑driven organizations. Her work lives at the intersection of inner transformation and outer leadership – where personal awareness meets the building of systems, relationships, and lives aligned with core values. Across her career she has helped people and organizations come alive, move through change with integrity, and create from a place of clarity, courage, and deep alignment. She cultivates spaces where truth is spoken, potential is remembered, and wholeness becomes a lived possibility.
Research & Theoretical Work
Maren’s professional foundation is rooted in organizational development, human development, and consciousness studies. Her graduate work in Organizational Leadership explored how systems evolve and how inner architecture – beliefs, values, habits, and longings – shapes collective behavior. Over two decades she has studied and practiced frameworks in leadership theory, somatic intelligence, the Enneagram, transformational education, and systemic change. These influences inform a steadily evolving body of work that understands transformation as both deeply personal and inherently systemic. Through her practice, Seeds to Wholeness, she integrates these traditions into a coherent approach that honors the innate wisdom within people and organizations and supports the unfolding of their next developmental threshold.
Approach and Practice
At the core of Maren’s approach is a simple truth: transformation begins with awareness. She helps people and systems see clearly what is asking for change and take aligned, courageous action. Her method blends deep inquiry with practical design, weaving together somatic presence, incisive questioning, narrative exploration, and strategic structure. She draws from organizational development, consciousness studies, and embodied intelligence, but never applies a formula; each engagement unfolds uniquely through relationship and presence. Clients describe her work as warm, attuned, and evocative – able to illuminate what lies beneath the surface while offering grounded tools that make transformation tangible. Her sessions often move fluidly between intuition and strategy, insight and implementation, inner truth and outer action.
Personal Journey and Leadership
Maren’s life and leadership reflect the integration she invites in others. She is both strategist and mystic – committed to what works and devoted to what is true. Years spent in mission‑driven organizations taught her to balance clarity with compassion, accountability with empathy, and structure with soul. Her commitment to justice and liberation shapes her belief that becoming is always collective and that love and freedom are inseparable. She holds a deep trust that every person and every system carries the seeds of its own wholeness, waiting to unfold when tended with honesty, bravery, and care. Her leadership is grounded in humility, presence, and a steady devotion to helping people and organizations remember who they are and become who they are meant to be.
Programs and Community
Maren offers coaching, consulting, team development, retreats, and organizational engagements that integrate inquiry, somatic awareness, leadership frameworks, and practical design. She supports individuals navigating thresholds of growth, couples seeking alignment, and teams building cultures rooted in clarity and connection. Her work includes Enneagram‑based development, organizational diagnostics, leadership coaching, and facilitation of transformational processes. She brings a blend of rigorous training and intuitive insight, helping clients translate awareness into sustainable change. Her teaching and facilitation emphasize presence, relational intelligence, and structures that support integration across personal, relational, and organizational domains.
Guides, Mentors and Lineage
Maren’s work is shaped by a wide lineage of teachers, traditions, and communities. Her training includes organizational development, leadership theory, somatic intelligence, and consciousness studies. She is a Certified Coach and Counselor through Interchange, an Integrative Enneagram Level 1 and Certified Teams Facilitator, and a facilitator of the Ecology of Leadership. Her studies include the Conscious Leadership Group frameworks, The Work of Byron Katie, and multiple traditions of embodiment such as yoga, Authentic Movement, and expressive arts. Ritual, council, and rites‑of‑passage work – including birth and death doula training, vision quest, and the Tamalpa Life/Art Process – have deeply informed her understanding of thresholds and transformation. These teachers and traditions form the backbone of her work, each contributing to her commitment to awareness, integration, and the unfolding of innate wholeness.
Life and Commitment
Maren’s life reflects the values she brings to her work: presence, integrity, and devotion to collective liberation. She is committed to creating spaces where people and systems can meet themselves honestly, reclaim their inner architecture, and build lives and organizations aligned with what matters most. Her practice continues to evolve in dialogue with the individuals, couples, and communities she serves, honoring transformation as a relational, iterative, and deeply human process. She lives in Longmont, CO with her two children.
