Hey, I'm
Doc Hershey
Helping people find clarity, energy, performance, and fulfillment
I’m Dr. Christopher “Doc” Hershey, your personal strategist for clarity and energy. For over two decades, I’ve guided professionals, athletes, parents, and students through moments of pressure and transition — helping them master their minds, manage their energy, and create habits that actually last.
Along the way, I’ve come to believe something simple but powerful: every person deserves the chance to live with clarity, presence, peace — and the kind of healing that restores confidence in themselves. Coaching isn’t about circling the past or chasing empty goals — it’s about building rhythms and systems that support the life you’re meant to live.
My role is to walk alongside you: to listen deeply, reflect honestly, and help you uncover the energy and confidence already within you. I keep a small book of clients because this work is personal, and it matters to me that you feel seen, supported, and cared for every step of the way.
This is practical, human, and deeply intentional work. Coaching with SageWork is about helping you show up fully in the moments that matter most — so you can live a life that feels clear, grounded, healed, and fulfilled.
A Note From Doc
Life is beautiful, but it is not without suffering. To live without struggle is impossible — it’s inescapable. What matters is not whether difficulty comes, but how we meet it.
I believe you already carry within you the strength, clarity, and energy you need to walk through this life. Coaching is the space where we uncover it together — where you can breathe, be seen, and return to the presence that’s already yours.
This work is not about escaping the human experience. It’s about learning to walk with it, steady and awake. To see yourself clearly. To choose with intention. To live with systems and rhythms that align your inner life with the life you long to create.
My role is not to hand you answers — it’s to draw out what is already within you, and help you experience it fully. That’s where the real transformation lies: in revealing the clarity and power you’ve carried all along, and anchoring it in a way that becomes unshakable.
Whatever you desire in life — more calm, more confidence, deeper relationships, meaningful work, or simply the freedom to feel fulfilled — my goal is to help you build the presence, the systems, and the energy to achieve that desired life state.
I keep a small book of clients because intimacy matters. Every partnership matters. When we work together, it isn’t light or surface-level. It’s real, it’s demanding, and it’s deeply personal. But when you step into it, you will not walk alone. You’ll have a partner committed to helping you live clear, grounded, and fulfilled in the moments that matter most.
And if you’re longing for more clarity, more energy, and a life that feels aligned and fully alive, the path begins simply: schedule a Chemistry Call. Let’s listen together. Let’s explore what’s possible. Let’s begin.
Experience That
Grounds My Coaching
So much of what keeps people stuck isn’t a lack of effort — it’s being caught in patterns that drain energy and cloud clarity. The pressure to perform, the cycles of doubt, the habits that seem impossible to break — these are the “poison pills” that keep people from moving forward. I have lived inside systems where pressure was constant, where clarity was the only way through, and where the stakes left no room for guessing.
From the military to diplomacy, from classrooms to international sports arenas, every chapter of my life has shown me one thing: transformation is possible when you learn how to manage your energy, quiet the noise, and dismantle the beliefs that keep you from moving. Coaching with me is not about quick fixes or empty motivation. It is about practical tools, grounded science, and lived experience that help you shift at every level — conscious, subconscious, and even unconscious.
What matters most is not just what I have done, but how it serves you. My role is to bring that depth forward so you can find clarity, sharpen your focus, and step into your best performance in life, leadership, or sport.
Service, Leadership, and Purpose
Presence Under Pressure
Tools for Lasting Transformation
What This Means For You
The lessons I have learned across service, leadership, athletics, and education are here for your benefit. Whether you are an athlete striving for peak performance, a leader under pressure, or someone simply seeking peace and clarity, you do not have to walk that path alone. My work is to help you dismantle the beliefs, habits, and cycles that drain you, and to replace them with rhythms and practices that sustain you.
This is not theory. These experiences are the foundation of how I coach — integrating tools like breath work, meditation, neuro-linguistics, and energy audits with the science of habit formation and the art of human transformation. By working with both the conscious mind and the deeper subconscious, we uncover the places where energy is leaking and build new structures that align with your purpose.
At the heart of this work is a simple belief: energized people energize people. When you are clear, steady, and aligned, everything changes — your relationships, your work, your sense of fulfillment. My role is to help you get there with compassion, focus, and a commitment to your growth.
And if you are ready and willing to step into that work, Sarah Jane and I invite you to take the first step — a simple Chemistry Call designed to connect, listen, and help you see what is possible for your next chapter.
"Whatever you desire in life — my goal is to help you build the presence and mindset, the systems, and manage the energy to achieve it."
Three Ways We Can Help You
Step Into Your Best Self
At Sagework, every client receives coaching, access, and experiences designed to support both who you are and how you show up in relation to the world around you. This isn’t just about strategies — it’s about clarity, energy, and transformation that lasts.
Our space is intentionally limited because this work is personal. We begin with a 20–30 minute chemistry call to connect, listen, and ensure it’s the right fit on both sides. Whether you’re an athlete preparing for competition, someone navigating a career pivot, or simply ready to realign your life, this call is your first step.
This is about you — your clarity, your energy, your next chapter. Whether you’re facing pressure, preparing for a pivot, or ready to feel more aligned, the first step is simple.
Schedule your chemistry call now and claim the focus, energy, and transformation you’ve been waiting for.
Schedule Your Chemistry Call
Private Coaching
One-on-one coaching designed around your journey. Whether you’re navigating a hostile workplace, preparing for a strategic pivot, sharpening your performance as an athlete, or seeking the clarity and peace that achievement alone hasn’t provided — this is where transformation becomes personal, practical, and lasting.
Coaching may also be gifted: parents, partners, or friends often invest on behalf of someone they love, whether for life coaching, career direction, or mindset mastery. For many clients, this work also unlocks something bigger — a millionaire mindset. Not just more income, but the clarity, presence, and confidence that allow wealth, opportunity, and impact to expand naturally.
Sagework Immersive Practices
Every private coaching relationship at Sagework includes access to immersive practices — dynamic, science-informed tools that go beyond conversation and bring transformation into lived experience.
These practices may involve movement, mindfulness, bodywork, or creative exercises — always chosen with one purpose: to uncover what gives you energy and release what drains it. Play and presence are part of the process, because real learning is both serious and joyful.
Nothing here is cookie-cutter. Each immersive is tailored around you — your goals, your energy, your way of showing up in the world. This is part of the VIP treatment every Sagework client receives: a client-centric, whole-person approach designed to unlock breakthroughs, restore alignment, and fuel lasting growth.
The Sagework Line
Beyond coaching and immersives, Sarah Jane and I give our clients direct access through a private Sagework line — a space where we share practices, reflections, and resources designed to help you reset your energy, reframe challenges, and stay aligned.
It’s also where clients can reach out for clarity, encouragement, or perspective between sessions. Confidential, practical, and supportive — it’s a steady way to stay connected to Sagework and keep your growth alive.
Fun Facts About Me
Here are a few things that give you a glimpse of who I am beyond my work and career.
I’m a Monk at Heart
My childhood nickname was “Monk.” Stillness and reflection have always been part of my story, though I can’t say I’ve always lived up to the name. What I’ve learned is that even when life feels noisy or overwhelming, it’s possible to find calm — and that’s something I love helping others discover too.
I’m a Father of Five
Family has been one of my greatest teachers. It has stretched me, humbled me, and taught me patience and grace. Through both joy and challenge, I’ve learned that growth often comes through love, responsibility, and showing up for one another — lessons that shape how I support the people I work with.
I Believe in Energy
Energized people energize people. I’ve seen what happens when energy is scattered — when life feels noisy or draining. I’ve also seen how different things feel when your energy is clear and steady. I believe in helping people restore what’s been lost, so they can step into every space with presence, confidence, and a renewed sense of possibility.
I’ve Served My Country
Serving in the military and in leadership around the world showed me something simple and profound: people everywhere long for the same things — respect, connection, and purpose. Those experiences didn’t just broaden my perspective, they deepened my gratitude and strengthened my commitment to serving others. Today, I carry those lessons into my coaching, helping people live with steadiness and clarity no matter the pressures they face.
And if you’re ready to take that step toward greater clarity and presence in your own life, I sincerely encourage you to schedule a Chemistry Call. I look forward to meeting you there.
Because your energy drives everything.
And everything changes when you master it.
Everyone knows what it feels like to second-guess themselves, to feel scattered, drained, or under pressure. What most people don’t know is how to shift out of that cycle — how to master their mind, manage their energy, and build habits that actually sustain change.
That’s where coaching changes everything.
Your next step is simple: a conversation with both of us — Dr. Christopher "Doc" Hershey and Sarah Jane Forman — to explore where you are, what’s possible next, and how to realign your energy and habits for results that last.
