Mentorship & consultation

Christian Spiritual Mentorship and Ministry Consultation.

Maria Sainz offers Christian spiritual mentorship and ministry consultation for believers, ministry leaders and teams who want to grow in identity, healing, freedom, wisdom and long-obedience maturity in Jesus.

This is not a course, a coaching program or a self-help track. It is pastoral formation — Scripture, prayer, honest conversation and practical next steps — with someone who has walked the road she teaches.

Please note

What spiritual mentorship is not.

For your safety and clarity, please read this carefully before submitting an inquiry.

Maria Sainz is an ordained minister and spiritual mentor. She is not a licensed medical professional, therapist, counselor or attorney, and mentorship or ministry consultation is not:

  • Medical treatment or a substitute for a doctor's care.
  • Mental-health therapy or a substitute for a licensed therapist or counselor.
  • Emergency counseling or crisis intervention.
  • Legal, financial or professional advice.
  • A guaranteed spiritual or physical outcome — God alone gives increase.

If you are in crisis or need urgent medical or mental-health care, please contact a qualified professional or, in an emergency, your local emergency services (dial 911 in the United States, or 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
