You’ll work directly with me every step of the way. I’ll personally guide you through the assessments, help you interpret the results, and support you throughout the entire journey. Nothing in this process is outsourced—your privacy and trust are my top priorities.

I’m Chris, and I’m truly glad you’ve found your way here. My life’s work is rooted in a journey of transformation—a climb from the depths of alcoholism, substance abuse, and homelessness to a life guided by purpose, spiritual connection, and resilience. At 25, I took my first steps toward recovery, committing myself to a path that continues to evolve and deepen to this day.

With over 20 years of personal experience navigating and overcoming addiction, I know the darkness that can feel insurmountable. It’s this lived experience that allows me to walk alongside you as a fellow traveler, offering not just understanding but tools and strategies that work in the real world.

My professional journey has been shaped by a deep fascination with human potential that began when I discovered the work of Tony Robbins at just 12 years old. Since then, I’ve explored and integrated insights from mindfulness coaching, business coaching, and now recovery coaching. Academically, I studied Consciousness and Psychology at the University of Michigan, building a foundation that helps me understand the complexities of the human mind and spirit.

Philosophically, my work is inspired by shamanism, stoicism, and modern mysticism. I often think of my advisory panel as including figures like Marcus Aurelius, Carl Jung, and Terence McKenna, whose timeless wisdom informs my approach to recovery. My goal is to help you tap into the Creative Force that flows through all of us, to find meaning, purpose, and clarity in your life.

At the heart of my coaching is a belief in the power of balance: honoring ambition while cultivating gratitude, embracing humility as a strength, and seeking meaning over materialism. My approach values thoughtful honesty, self-respect, and the pursuit of a life deeply rooted in connection—with yourself, others, and the Sacred.

Above all, I bring a spirit of gratitude to my work. The lessons I’ve learned through struggle and triumph are what I now share with you, not as a teacher looking down, but as someone who knows the road and is ready to walk it with you.

Coaching begins with understanding your unique needs and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that includes actionable steps, regular check-ins, and adjustments as needed. You won’t be overwhelmed with homework but there is work to be done; the process is designed to be challenging, supportive, and flexible.

Most recovery plans aren’t designed for you—they’re designed for someone else. This program gives you a custom plan that works with your unique personality, strengths, and spiritual needs, helping you break free from addiction.

Progress is monitored through regular assessments and feedback during our sessions. We set clear, achievable goals and review them periodically to ensure you’re moving forward in your recovery journey. Adjustments are made as needed to address any emerging challenges or to set new objectives.

While counseling often centers on diagnosing past traumas and sponsors tend to overlook them entirely, this coaching process strikes a balance: acknowledging trauma and the shadow self while focusing on moving forward. Unlike therapy or sponsorship, recovery coaching emphasizes setting meaningful goals, building healthy habits, and maintaining accountability to take action—empowering you to create a future aligned with your true self and strengths.

Put simply, you’ll walk away with clear marching orders—actions to take. We focus on making things happen, not just indulging in mental or emotional ‘check-ins.’ You’ll never leave our sessions empty-handed. Every session delivers dynamic breakthroughs, because otherwise, what’s the point?

Absolutely! Recovery coaching is a powerful complement to other forms of treatment like therapy and support groups. While therapy helps address deeper psychological issues and support groups foster communal sharing and connection, my coaching style is centered on direct truth-telling/feedback, simple tasks, and unwavering accountability to help you sustain sobriety through clarity and action. By integrating these approaches, you can create a more well-rounded and effective recovery process. Furthermore, my program in 100% compatible with any religious belief or 12-step program.

Confidentiality is paramount in our coaching relationship. All information shared during sessions is kept strictly confidential, adhering to ethical guidelines and legal requirements. This ensures a safe and trusting environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and challenges.

We understand the courage it takes to start your recovery journey. That’s why we offer:

1. Risk-Free First Session: If the first session doesn’t resonate with you, simply let us know, and we’ll refund your payment—no questions asked.
2. 21-Day Foundation Commitment: Engage fully in the program for 21 days, and if you don’t see meaningful progress, we’ll review your experience and provide a partial refund for unused sessions.

This ensures you can begin your journey with confidence and peace of mind.

Once you enroll, we reserve all your appointment times on my calendar and secure your access to the necessary assessments. Due to the time and resources invested upfront, we do not offer full refunds for the 4-week program. We can issue you a full credit for a future time or offer 50% back now (this covers our losses).

That said, we understand that life can be unpredictable. If something urgent arises, we’re flexible with rescheduling as long as you provide advance notice.

If you’re purchasing this for someone else, please ensure they are fully ready and committed to the process before enrolling. This will help everyone get the best results from the program.

Once you’re signed up, we’ll schedule your 4 private sessions at times that work best for you. If something comes up and you can’t make a scheduled appointment, simply let us know at least 24 hours (or one business day) in advance, and we’ll happily reschedule it for you.

In the event of a late cancellation or a no-show, we can still reschedule your session, though an additional session fee will apply.

Yes, you can fill out the application either for yourself or for a loved one.

However, before you submit the application, I recommend having your loved one watch a few of my videos. This will give them a better sense of my coaching style and help determine if we’re the right fit. It’s essential that they feel comfortable and engaged in the process, as this can significantly enhance the success of the coaching.
