Our Services

Individual Coaching

A clearness consultation is typically one hour (90- minute and two-hour sessions are possible as well) and commonly occur more than once (ie in a series of three or four) over the course of several weeks. The whole experience is grounded on Chris’s firm commitment to hold safe, courageous space for you to explore substantive questions in depth.
