About Justine

Growing up as the middle child of an extended blended family in South Africa, I observed with admiration my parents and our extended communities navigate life’s challenges with grace, resilience and grit.

It seemed that our human experience presented endless hurdles and pivots, yet even in the darkest of moments there was enormous capacity for kindness, creativity and possibility.  In my own life, whether navigating the challenges of running businesses, multi-continent relocations, parenting or relationships, this thinking has assimilated into my own.

I have always been a deep thinker and a seeker and have been lucky enough to have the richness of deep and long-lasting friendships and key female role models, which have been integral in shaping the person and the coach I am today.      

I am also a wife to my incredible partner and husband of 24 years and mother to two grown sons, all of whom are my greatest loves and inspiration. And then there is our constant companion Fynn, our soft-coated Wheaten Terrier from Ohio, USA.

The natural world is my salve, it nourishes and bolsters me. Blended into all that, is my 20-year journey of yoga philosophy and the practise & teaching of yoga, which distils and influences how I show up mindfully in my life, supporting my most deeply held values of kindness, authenticity and connection and my desire to ease the suffering of humankind through service.

Becoming a life coach has been a natural and deeply fulfilling career progression.

Life coaching brings together my drive to be of service, my key problem-solving and organisational skills utilised in my entrepreneurial businesses and my lifelong fascination with psychology and human potential. I am passionate about witnessing clients moving from where they are, towards where they want to be and living with greater joy and fulfilment through coaching.
