I help clients navigate high-stakes transitions and high-stress situations that shape life trajectories. Using a proprietary inquiry-based model, I work with you to align decisions with responsibilities, values, goals, and personal meaning. When appropriate, I assemble and coordinate a small, trusted team of professionals to provide comprehensive support.

LIFE TRANSITIONS

Society does not respect personal sabbaticals for health, to get to know yourself or when making decisions that will impact your future. I give you that permission - Christopher Baron
Few people are trained to navigate major life decisions or unexpected disruptions. Even capable professionals can lose clarity under stress or emotional pressure. My self-inquiry framework builds self-awareness and a practical knowledge base to help you clarify challenges and opportunities, define objectives, and deliberately write the next chapter of your life. I also ensure you have the physical and mental fitness tools needed to manage stress, sleep well, think clearly, and maintain stamina throughout the transition.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT AND CONSEQUENTIAL DECISIONS

Brief, intensive support for complex, time-sensitive, and consequential situations. This includes assembling teams and engaging subject-matter experts as needed. (Note: I am not a therapist. This service is not appropriate for clients with serious mental health diagnoses).

I advise clients whose decisions carry material consequences across multiple domains: financial, familial, physical, and reputational. My work focuses on restoring clarity under pressure, improving decision quality, and ensuring clients have the physical and mental capacity to execute well.

Engagements are confidential, limited in number, and may include coordination with legal, medical, financial, and other specialists.

HEALTHSPAN: STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, LONGEVITY

Do you want to acquire or return to a higher level of physical and psychological strength and endurance?

Basic and intermediate fitness are achievable when intelligently designed around your life and schedule. As a lifelong multi-sport athlete, masters swimmer, and ocean swimmer with a focus on human performance and longevity, I provide conservative, safe, and evidence-based training plans tailored to your needs.

For sport-specific goals or advanced specialties beyond my scope, I can refer you to trusted professionals.

MENTAL FITNESS: STRESS MANAGEMENT, MINDSET, RESILIENCE

Mental fitness, stress management and reslience are teachable skills. Depending on your goals, instruction may include meditation, mindfulness, whole-body relaxation, breathwork, decision-making under pressure, stress inoculation, situational awareness, and related practices.

MEN'S DIVORCE COACHING

Men’s Divorce Coaching addresses two phases: the divorce itself and recovery afterward. Support includes access for critical conversations and optional emergency availability.

Recovery begins with mental and physical stabilization, including a fitness baseline and coordination with other professionals if required. We then complete my self-awareness module, including a structured inventory of past, present, and future. This process restores clarity, agency, and direction. You actively design what comes next.

Get excited about your future again.

PATIENT SUPPORT & ADVOCACY: INJURY OR ILLNESS

Serious illness or injury is frightening and complex. American healthcare systems are often opaque and difficult to navigate. Many people lack trusted advocates when they need them most.

With 25 years of experience across multiple healthcare systems and specialties, I support you through the process. As appropriate, I provide physical and psychological tools to manage stress, pain, and energy, and I advocate with medical teams and loved ones to ensure clarity, continuity, and support.
