Hi, I’m Justine…

I’ve been writing down my feelings & thoughts for over two decades, since I was a young pre-teen (and most likely before then!). I was born into a variety of parenting figures, rules, belief systems and lifestyles that left me feeling a bit overwhelmed about who I was & how I fit - for a very long time.

It was hard to fully trust my gut, though I knew I needed to.

This experience only continued as I grew up leading me to more sensitivity, more overwhelm, more reactivity and more trauma.

It wasn’t until my early 30’s - a lot of yoga classes, woo woo exploration, career decisions, real life experiences, self help books, heartbreak and big grief - that I found some clarity in myself with a PMDD diagnosis.

My menstrual cycle has played a big role in my emotional sensitivity, as has complex trauma - something that took me a long time to understand & release shame around.

The one thing I want to be upfront with you about is that - I still see a life coach, I still work with a therapist, I still mess up and yet now (after decades of practice & getting lost & found 1000’s of times) I can confidently say I have the ability to hold space for all parts of me, even in the darkest days - and boy, is that the toughest work I’ve ever done & continue to do!
