“During the three years that we have been working with Justine Duran, she has touched upon every aspect of our business from routine to communications. She has been instrumental in helping us shift our business model, establish routines, effectively use calendar blocking, redefine professional development, learn to set boundaries—and say NO—and most importantly as a partnership, come to an understanding around how we communicate with each other.

“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…

“When I started my life coaching sessions, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. I was coming into a new phase of my life and simply knew I needed… something. Traditional talk therapy wasn’t doing a damn thing for me. I was looking for more radical healing and introspection than what I was finding in the therapist’s office, so I took the dive and commitment to my work with Justine.

Damn. I had no idea what I was in for, and…

“Justine has changed my life in so many positive ways. With an intuitive approach, Justine is gentle but will hold you accountable. The work she does is so necessary, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have met her at the time that I did.

When I look back at the work we’ve done together I don’t l recognize that version of myself anymore. I had reached a point in my life where I realized my lifestyle was neither healthy nor sustainable. Justine not only helped me…

“Justine has helped me so much in my personal, mental, emotional, and professional life. I have known her for over 10 years and she is constantly growing herself in order to bring health to her clients. The self acceptance and growth I’ve gained from her is so beautiful.

She’s done so much to create stability, organization, and nourish a space to have conversations that are hard but necessary. To encourage the hard but mandatory work to…

“Justine is a blessing when she walks into your life. Her kind but to the point method helps you look at how you currently live and organize your life and objectively helps your make decisions for yourself. To take easy to achieve steps to improve the little things that actually have the biggest impacts on your day, routine and taking back control of your mental health. She is gentle but keeps you accountable for yourself, she is hugely empathetic and understanding but won’t let you…

“Justine Duran is a friend, my yoga instructor, a keeper of my secret fears and dreams. An antidote for the unwanted parts of life that feel insurmountable and a coach for the deeply desired parts that feel impossible to achieve, but with her guidance and support, suddenly aren’t. Her magic doesn’t depend on any literal articulation from me of what I need, she just knows. She reads through my scattered lines, picks up on things I neatly tuck away, and always waits for me to be ready to…

“I like to think of myself as a no nonsense straight shooter. I say that to emphasize that I am in no way exaggerating when I tell you that working with Justine has changed my life. My life would look wildly different without the work she supports me in doing and pushes me to seek out. Through her guidance and the nurturing of my existing support network, I am able to explore what the best version of myself looks like.
I am able to come to Justine each week without fear or anxiety that I will be judged or misunderstood. We cover everything from my anxiety and disordered eating, to what it means to exist in our world while confronting issues like…

“Have you had that person in your life that you turn to when it all feels like it’s falling apart? They sit back and hold space for you. Meaning, they listen. When you are ready and open for feedback and advice, they give it. It always make sense too. What if you had that every week? The conversations take place BEFORE it feels like everything is falling apart. There’s an opportunity to create and strategize and bounce ideas around, with someone that will hold you accountable to the ideas. I’ve been fortunate that Justine has been both for me. Her words and insights are like she’s been alive forever. Or at least for a few lifetimes.”

“Hands down, without a doubt, the best thing I have done for myself in years was reaching out to Justine for a consultation. When I wrote to her about the long list of issues I wanted to work through, it was something that felt so overwhelming, a daunting task to even try and unscramble. I was (and continue to) deal with loss, trauma, anxiety, and I was not where I wanted to be with my personal and career goals. I felt at a complete loss. I was always someone that said, I don’t need a therapist or counselor, that whatever I am going through I have to do it by myself. Justine has shifted my whole perspective on…

“Health and wellness can fall to the wayside for creative artists, such as myself, who think ideas and expression come from the mind. But we learn on the road that the mind needs support from the body and Justine has been pivotal in helping me develop better health practices on the road. Justine excels in organizing routines and developing better habits, giving grounding in what can often be a shifting, chaotic experience. This helps make touring sustainable, which it needs to be if I want to do it the rest of my life. Justine does an excellent job of…

“Justine and I started our weekly phone calls at the beginning of a very important time in my life and I often look back to those first few conversations. I had reached a breaking point and knew I needed to make some changes. I had no idea what talking to Justine every week would do to help but I was willing to try anything and trusted her process. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that trust. We started with making small changes in my daily life which instantly improved my overall mood and energy levels. She tailored routines to my needs and…

“Justine, You are the light that shines when I feel it is too dim to find. I was mentally, physically exhausted and overwhelmed with stress. You motivated and pushed me to tackle the overwhelming. I’ve been reminded of my goals, kept on the right direction, and fallen in love with myself again. Thank you. “

“I was fortunate to have Justine as a coach throughout 2020. In a year that was tumultuous to say the least, she was a source of grounding and strength for me. Our work spanned business strategy, managing anxiety, boundaries, inner child healing, antiracism education and so much more.

That is the beauty of Justine's approach - it's entirely customized to the individual. She meets you where you're at and helps build you up. She's gifted me with systems, frameworks and perspectives that have changed my life, and…
