Experiences

What this work actually feels like.

Reflections from people who have worked with The Iris Method.

“My enneagram session with Gus far exceeded my expectations. He is clear, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping people understand themselves more deeply. The enneagram is a layered, complex framework, yet Gus holds all of that information with remarkable ease and brings it to bear at exactly the right moment. He asked insightful questions, listened intently, and connected dots I couldn't see on my own. Beyond the value of his insight, it was simply a joy to learn from someone who grasps this tool so thoroughly. His command of language and understanding of the enneagram truly surpass his years.”

“I’ve been genuinely impressed by the care, depth, and thoughtfulness behind the Enneagram work I've done with Gus. It’s clear that this isn’t something he approaches casually—there’s a real seriousness and respect for the system as a meaningful tool for self-understanding and growth. What stands out even more is the intentional way he meets each person: with attention, respect, and a sincere effort to help them feel seen and understood in their own experience. That kind of presence is rare.

There’s also a level of insight he brings that goes well beyond what you might expect—it reflects both deep study and a natural intuition for the Enneagram that makes the material feel accessible and grounded. Altogether, he creates a space that feels both thoughtful and encouraging, whether you’re just starting to explore or looking to go deeper. I would absolutely recommend working with Gus to anyone interested in personal growth through the Enneagram.”

“Gus has an incredible gift for teaching and insight far beyond his years. He led our group of women through the Enneagram with clarity, depth, and thoughtfulness. It was both engaging and deeply illuminating.

He has a unique ability to make complex concepts feel accessible while still challenging you to grow in self-awareness. We walked away not only understanding the Enneagram better, but also each other.

Truly impressive. Don’t let his high school age deter you—he is a wealth of knowledge that would be a gift to you personally, in marriage, friendship, or any relationship.”

“I am completely blown away by Gus. I have known about the enneagram for a while. I’ve read about it, listened to podcasts on it, etc., but the way Gus was able to not only articulate his knowledge on the topic but also identify nuances was truly set apart and impressive. His passion and intentionality are evident. He cares deeply about the people he works with, and the insight he brings is transformative.”

“Rebecca and I had a typing session with Gus at The Iris Method, and we were both genuinely moved by the experience. What struck us immediately was how seriously he takes this work — this is not a quick quiz or a personality label; it’s a real conversation.

Gus guided us with so much care and thoughtfulness, and his insights felt honest and accurate in ways that were hard to ignore. The fact that he built this at his young but old-souled age makes it even more remarkable.

Highly, highly recommend.”
