Christopher Zegarra can tell a story. 

A chemical engineer with on-the-dot comedic timing, Chris’s intelligence and dry sense of humor marry to encourage insightful and authentic conversation. Explicit in explanation, Chris uses clear analogies to simplify initially complex topics, whether about his time at Kennecott as a Precious Metals Process Engineer or his recreational hobby of running DND games. He’s an avid cello player and member of a string quartet, which he enjoys with friends and family.  

Chris received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Utah. As a chemical engineer, Chris is a professional at developing and designing process-centered approaches. What does this mean? In other words, Chris provides structure to clients and guides them to help them leverage their strengths and talents to get them where they want to go. He uses this systematic approach to coaching and genetic consulting. 

Personality-wise, Chris is an Enneagram 5w4 SX/SP and an INTJ, which, he says, explains a lot. Curious and innovative, Chris works to master skills, build expertise, and develop many relationships through observation and assessment. These traits have benefitted him in his mental health and chemical engineering careers and as a paraeducator and a cello instructor. 

Chris now heads the Genetics Department of Sonatix Wellness. During genetic consultations, Chris works with clients to reclaim purpose and create meaning. Each session is driven by his understanding of how the genome affects a person’s engagement with the world. Using this knowledge and his process-centered approach, Chris develops detailed plans with clients to help them reach their goals by integrating genetic data with personality theory.

It sounds like we all need a coach like Chris.
