“I am an entirely different person for the better since Justine and I have been working one on one.”
Justine came into my life at a time when I was so fearful of my own desires, I couldn't even recognize them. Her intuitive guidance and compassionate heart continues to open all the windows and doors of my own desire allowing the light to flow in and the joy to flow out. I am learning that it is safe to feel pleasure and that it continues to be one of the many reasons that we were born embodied. I am an entirely different person for the better since Justine and I have been working one on one. She is a guide to me and her soft guidance and supportive presence continues to give my strength long after our sessions together.

“Justine’s teaching transmission is authentic and clear”
Justine is a teacher very near and dear to my heart. She taught me to be present, in approval of everything that comes up for me and to get lovingly curious in that spot. She has the sensitive ability to gently meet me where I’m at at all times, my system relaxes in her presence, my protection goes down and that way I get to the core of what is underneath. Justine is a devoted deep practitioner and therefore her teaching transmission is authentic and clear. I’m am profoundly grateful for Justine, her teaching and her service.

“Justine meets me where I am, and then points to where I deep down know I want to be. While it hasn’t been easy, it has been the most rewarding work I’ve done.”
As a Virgo, I’ve had a life-long desire to be perfect. I’ve been through conventional therapy, trained in yoga philosophy, studied Zen Buddhism with monastic training, and it wasn’t until I came to Justine that I found a place of introspection that allows for everything to be present and accepted (the good, the bad, the ugly, the sad, the resentful). With Justine, I found out that desire is not a four-letter word. Instead, it is the way the universe speaks to me, and calls me to share my gifts and talents, to become the beautiful perfectly messy being I truly am. Working with Justine’s quality of nurturing that blends hard truths with unconditional compassion, I don’t get lost in techniques or tools. Instead, Justine gives real-world practices for everyday life that are directly applicable to my own individual situation. It feels like Justine meets me where I am, and then points to where I deep down know I want to be. While it hasn’t been easy, it has been the most rewarding work I’ve done.

“Justine provides a safe place for me to explore my relationship with the erotic. I can be completely open about what is coming up for me, knowing I won't be judged, but encouraged and supported. She points me in a direction to find my own way. So I simultaneously receive great guidance AND a deepening ability & confidence in my own inner knowing. I appreciate her experience and wisdom. It is very apparent that she has already explored the path that is ahead of me."

“Justine’s coaching has supported me in slipping out of my shell …”
Justine has ushered me to the places within, where I’ve held my most tender longings and restless passion, so that I can soak in and receive life. Her teaching style is crisp, raw, and elegant. She has a gift for untangling the complexity of sexuality, energy, and emotion through her lived experience which adds gravity, so it can sink from the mind into embodiment. I’ve appreciated her invitation to slow down, make space for what is present, and open to where life is dying to lead me - into vitality and wonderment. Justine’s coaching has supported me in slipping out of my shell to cultivate an intimate relationship with my desires, emotions, longings, and how to dance with energy, so I can fully inhabit my life and relate dynamically with others. Her simplicity has offered me the space to sink ever more deeply into the truth that there is nothing wrong with me. I’m human, and all of me and life is delicious.

“ I was able to heal from deep childhood wounds”
Having spent years working with teachers and coaches who had a very intense and sometimes harsh approach, Justine’s compassionate and gentle method was a refreshing and much needed medicine for my heart and soul. Justine’s approval and curiosity for the good, bad and the ugly gave me the space to finally be able to turn toward parts of myself that I’d previously shunned. I was able to heal from deep childhood wounds that were activated through multiple relationship endings and painful life events, I shed ways of being that were keeping me from having what I want, and opened to a lighter, softer, more open-hearted version of myself. I am forever grateful for Justine’s support, wisdom and skill in holding deeply transformative space. And I highly recommend her work for anyone who is ready for a gentle healing experience that will forever change their life for the better.

“I can say that everything about me is better, brighter, bigger… and conversely darker, deeper, more expansive”
I discovered so much through the sessions I had with Justine. I can say that EVERYTHING about me is better, brighter, bigger.....and conversely darker, deeper, more expansive. I think that “this too shall pass” has become my mantra; I can bear life when it’s bad and celebrate when it’s good. And throughout I can stay grounded in gratitude whatever my state. From that place, I can shoot out in all directions - relationship, family, friends, work, self-care, business....embracing discomfort and staying away from my stories (though I am a storyteller). I can embrace what I want more fully, hell I can go after what I want without shame, my inner voice is clearer and more assertive. I love better, I think. Don’t get me wrong.....I’m not perfect but I’ve learned to let go of perfection for the enjoyment of the process, the progression of the journey, the sheer joyful, messy adventure of life. Steve Jobs once said that only afterwards can you join up the dots of your journey to where you find yourself, right here, right now. It’s a statement that I’ve never forgotten. I’d say, that for me, Justine Dawson was, and is, a pretty big series of my life’s dots.....
Amongst the many, here are my top 5-insights that I can trace directly back to her:
Practice is king. There is freedom in the discipline of practices whether they be journaling, exercise, meditation, prayer.
Vulnerability makes me a Queen.
Learning to embrace my dark side is a top biggie for me – the former queen of relentless silver linings!
Self-care has to be priority. I HAVE to fill up, I cannot love from empty.
Self-love. Being myself no matter what – huge.

“Justine taught me that my pain is actually my power”
Before I worked with Justine, I had a deep fear of being seen. I knew it was connected to my experience of child sexual abuse. It was a deep, long-held fear. What saddened me the most about it was that it had stopped me from pursuing my dream of becoming a coach and working with other women. Through working with Justine, she created a deep, loving and safe space for me to touch these painful places inside and move through them. She taught me that my pain is actually my power and that by sharing it, I can support and impact other women. With Justine's support, I courageously started to give talks and share my story, instilling hope in other women. Without Justine's support, I definitely wouldn't have done so! If you are someone who needs a safe, caring and loving space to have your gifts come out into the world, then I highly recommend working with Justine because there are people out there who need you and your gifts!

“Justine went right through our blind spot to reveal insightful information. In naming what was, she empowered us both”
When I began attending classes with Justine, things were not flowing well in my new relationship. As we shared our challenges with her, Justine came back with an empowering truth. She went right through our blind spot to reveal insightful information - like a magic fairy with a quick move of her wand. She described our dynamic with such clarity and approval that my body relaxed and melted like caramel ice cream on the chair I was sitting on. In naming what was, she empowered us both. I felt seen and held in such a loving way. It was clear for me that I would support my intuition more ever since that day. Justine holds you with tons of love and clarity. She sees through layers of conditioning and teaches you how to see the beauty that you already are, while acknowledging an even better version of yourself.

“Justine is a loving, compassionate, clear, insightful and generous guide”
I had 1-to-1 coaching by Justine for six months. At the time, everything in my life had come to a crash and I was in a very down state. The results and how quickly they were realized in my life were amazing. Within the first two sessions, I moved out of the apartment I was unhappy in and moved to one that I really loved. Then I joined the gym and started exercising regularly (which I had not done in a decade). I started journaling, meditating, and found much joy in them. I started volunteering at an organisation close to my heart. Within two months of our sessions I was in a relationship, after having been single for two years. It is Justine who had me think about and connect with a deeper power, and that connection has helped me through thick and thin since. Justine is a loving, compassionate, clear, insightful and generous guide who holds a joyful, allowing, easygoing, loving, and fun space for growth. I highly recommend her.

“Justine pours a depth of love into just about anything she touches”
Justine’s calm, open, and receptive demeanour is almost immediately dearmouring, and from the moment we met, I felt a welcome invitation to share my honest thoughts and feelings with her. Our relationship has deepened over the years, as teacher/student, coach/client, mentor/mentee, largely as a result of the integrity and consistency she brings to each of the containers we have found ourselves in together - and more than anything, because of the depth of love she pours into just about anything she touches!

“Justine has the words and presence to help people go through the difficult experiences we all live”
Justine has a very gentle, attentive manner; it comes from a clear space, from someone who knows and understands, someone who is doing the work, who walks the walk and talks the talk daily. I see Justine as someone who is committed to her growth, and is willing daily to stay with this commitment with no bullshit, no arrogance. I like that, I respect it, and I am much more willing to listen and even learn from someone like this, than someone who isn’t showing their vulnerability. It is humble, it is empowering, and she embodies it.
Justine’s way of speaking of sexuality and the erotic, what it means, the impact it can have on someone’s life, relationship, and work; and the link between a spiritual life and an erotic one brings me a sense of purpose and strength. It’s a gift she has; I feel the truth behind it. There is also a mystery to it, it isn’t clear cut. As she talks, it seems she is searching inside of herself to go deeper, she is present in this, and honest.
Many women, young and old (and men too) could learn a lot about their true self through her teaching. She has the words and presence to help people go through the difficult experiences we all live.
