Hello, I'm Macha
I’m a spiritual tutor supporting people on their journey toward personal transformation and wholeness.
About me
I’ve spent more than 40 years working with individuals and small groups, helping them explore and connect through various human circumstances.
My academic background includes degrees in adult mental health, psychology, women’s studies, and social work, which have all shaped my approach to personal growth and healing.
My Enneagram Journey
I began studying the Enneagram in 2016, and it has since become an essential tool for me, both personally and in my work with others.
I find it to be a powerful framework for understanding ourselves and those around us.
Through practices of contemplation (internal communion), connection (interpersonal communion), and consciousness (awakening the inner observer and making conscious choices), I continue to transform my own life and feel privileged to walk alongside others on their journeys.
Experience and Leadership
I’ve been a long-time participant in Evolving Enneagram’s Contemplative Practices & the Enneagram (CPE), and I often join multiple groups at once! Along with my husband, Enneagram artist John Greenleaf-Maple, I’ve had the honor of co-leading CPE groups.
In addition, I support the Evolving Enneagram (EE) faculty as a “guest facilitator” for various EE programs.
John and I are part of the Founding Circle and serve on EE’s advisory council, working together to nurture and grow this wonderful community.
My Personal Healing Journey
My personal journey has involved transforming the pain of a difficult childhood, addressing multi-generational trauma, recovering from addiction, embracing my authentic sexual identity, and overcoming clinical depression and chronic pain.
Through this process, I’ve witnessed the incredible capacity we all have to remember and embrace our wholeness.
I also believe deeply in the ripple effects that personal healing can have on families and communities.
Spiritual Tutoring with Me
I currently offer private, Enneagram-informed spiritual tutoring via Zoom.
In these sessions, I help people discern their most fruitful path toward wholeness, meeting them where they are and supporting their unique journey.

What people are saying
Angela brings a clarity of perception—from her deeply compassionate heart, and impressively educated mind—which I personally found quite helpful in my individual sessions with her! Her ability to listen and to offer reflections helped me gain insight regarding some gnarly challenges!
I met Angela in December 2018 while attending an Enneagram retreat at Unity. I was drawn to Angela and immediately taken with, not only, her knowledge of the Enneagram but her observations and openness. Since that time, I have participated in book studies and other meetings led by Angela which further deepened my respect for her leadership, spirituality and compassion. In 1-on-1 sessions, she has been instrumental in deepening my understanding of the Enneagram and myself. I am truly honored and grateful to have Angela's friendship and guidance in my journey of spiritual discovery.
