“Working with Justine has changed my life, and I don’t say that lightly. When a friend recommended Justine, that friend said, "Justine is a part of my sacred circle", and that alone had me walking into my first meeting with her wondering what kind of magical witchery I was getting myself into. It was that respect, magic, and witchery that Justine has about her that has permeated my life in the best ways possible. 

From our first meeting, Justine had me embracing the magic of the world, recognizing that my ancestors are rooting for me to succeed, and connecting me back to my culture. We’ve done everything from Shadow and Inner Child work, Coaching through family trauma, Kundalini breathing, Yoga, Cognitive and Somatic styles of therapy and also, just laughing and enjoying each other's good company. 

Justine has been there through one of the darkest years of my life, when I hit an all time low as a 4 year relationship ended at the beginning of a Global Pandemic, the starting of a new job, all while I was being called and waking up to stand for racial justice for myself as a mixed woman and BIPOC. Her guidance has helped me learn to love myself, give myself grace, and to protect my energy. She’s helped me embrace my mixedness and helped me understand the depths of my depression and anger at the injustices and abuse I’ve experienced as written off as normal for so long. Before Justine, I was struggling with obsessive thoughts about the end of my life just to feel the fantasy of peace in not being here. I did this more than I was actually living my life, and, as a result, I wasn’t allowing life to love me, to be sweet to me, to nurture me back here. 

Justine was the first person who really saw me, saw that I was delicate and needed love and care when all anyone else could see was that I was a “strong” brown woman who could get myself through it all alone. She saw me, and she let me cry, and laugh, and talk about the abuses that have happened to me in the safest way possible and she taught me how to do that for myself. 

Since I’ve been meeting with Justine on a weekly basis, almost a year now, the most beautiful domino effect of amazingly supportive and loving people have entered my life because I have space for them now. I spend my days allowing life to be sweet to me, because Justine has shown me how. Thank you Justine, I love and adore you dearly. I feel more like me than I have in a very long time. Thank you for making my abundant life a reality. “
