recover your magnificence
The space beyond counseling, coaching & consulting
For executives, business owners, and creatives. For the soul searchers and the weary. For those desiring newness of life.
REDEFINING THE ART OF LIVING
There is space beyond counseling, coaching, and consulting. SAINT/UP ventures into those rarely explored territories to help people get to a better place. Our focus is on the process, the journey. You set the goal; we set the plan and pace. This is not a substitute for therapy; it is a supplement. These services are also available for teams.
SAINT/UP offers personalized, guided experiences to help you:
- develop a sense of freedom in life, work, and play
- make life less complicated and more meaningful
- overcome frustration, fatigue, stress, and burnout
- set the stage for new vision to come
- foster connection, growth, and forward movement
- enhance creativity and move beyond blocks and hurdles
- find rest and rejuvenation along the way
SAINT/UP works with clients locally or remotely. After a free consultation, we'll develop a customized plan. We will keep our times together fresh. If meeting in person, we may be indoors or outdoors, in public or in a more quiet space. Through some unconventional prompts, we'll start to uncover or recover what resonates with your soul and why. That's when the journey begins.
LIFE CURATION & SOUL CARE
A curator is more than one who selects pieces for a gallery. The term is actually derived from the word care—one who cares for souls. Curation is an on-going process, evolving season to season.
SAINT/UP is here to help people live well by creating an intentionally curated life, one designed to bring peace but also inspiring us to step out. We want to help people flourish in every area of life: relationships (family, friends, professional, romantic), health and wellness (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), work and play.
Counseling and coaching are tremendous avenues. SAINT/UP takes people on a different path of discovery. Textbooks and techniques are essential, but sometimes we need something unorthodox and more exploratory.
It's time to reimagine and explore the possibilities. This is an opportunity to care for and invest in your soul.
WHY SAINT/UP? WHO IS CHRIS?
I have an extensive background in the arts, music, and teaching. I worked in the music industry for independent and multi-platinum artists, completed multiple degrees in music, and served as faculty for several colleges and universities. Later I entered full-time ministry.
But after 30 years in higher ed and ministry, I hit a wall. I spent several years walking through a dark night of the soul and found myself on the “backside of the desert”— a place and process you don’t attempt to circumvent because, though it can be slow and painful, something incredible is born out of it. It was a time of advanced preparation, discovery, refinement, and growth.
All of this has afforded me the ability to help people see things quite differently. I offer unique perspectives, which is a strength in my teaching and counsel. My approach is atypical, a bit avant-garde. So, if you’re in a lull or you’ve hit a wall, or you desire to step into something new and invigorating, I can help you get there.
