I've had many mentors but Justine has been the most influential- I've been able to discuss every aspect of my life with her from creativity, love, eroticism, work, and Dharma...and I've always been met with her playfulness, spontaneity, humour, and radical openness to explore the depths of each of these and see the ways they are all connected. I trust her wholeheartedly and feel so much more truthful and intimate with myself, my world and others. This woman has changed my life and I am so fortunate to have found someone who will meet me where I am, and still challenge me to open to life's currents and ebbs and flows....and reflect me back to myself in a way I so deeply have desired.” -Rachana Kshirsagar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/5e888f61-dff6-4fd2-81c5-9285085a2db3/IMG_8332.jpg Coaching - “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.” -Beth H. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/15c3d9df-eaf5-46cc-837d-e33dc8c3f543/wilfried-vowoto-eg2f9A-9gLM-unsplash.jpg Coaching “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.” -J.M. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/1a58b957-1d2c-40d7-b4ad-705c2fdb372f/Untitled+design.jpg Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/c61c6e6f-0c45-432f-9d38-4daa20d776ba/older+woman+image.jpg Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/1590261466216-FMTBYEZKN48T2TW7BY3O/christina-wocintechchat-com-eF7HN40WbAQ-unsplash%2B%25281%2529.jpg Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/acae5c86-047d-4ab2-93a7-820c6e246330/IMG_1916+%281%29.jpg Coaching - "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." -Naomi Matlow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/1613108591742-AT906R6UYZYRI4RN97TW/jayme.jpg Coaching - “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." -Jayme Dill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/1613108755201-O3SNZ2ZXR68K2PGOEONA/ravi-roshan-fKddmPKvv9U-unsplash%2B%25281%2529.jpg Coaching - “I’ve been working with Justine on and off for almost ten years. I love working with her for so many reasons. She’s deeply compassionate, has a generosity of spirit, and yet she’s got a sharp bullshit meter. She lovingly keeps me on my toes, puts me to task, laughs with me in the tight spots which softens my rigidity and helps me to open more fully, and she inspires me to reach new heights of growth, self-inquiry and exploration. Her ability to be deeply present in the moment is rare. Her reflections always feel true and never forced. She’s perceptive and skillful, thoughtful and clear. I’m so glad to know her. My life, my relationships and my health are more full & grounded, more alive & expansive when working with her.” Jennifer G. https://www.justinedawson.com/stayconnected daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://www.justinedawson.com/inquiry daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://www.justinedawson.com/meditation daily 0.75 2020-05-25 https://www.justinedawson.com/go-deep daily 0.75 2023-06-28 https://www.justinedawson.com/begin daily 0.75 2023-06-28 https://www.justinedawson.com/erotic-awakening daily 0.75 2023-07-07 https://www.justinedawson.com/womenscircle daily 0.75 2026-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/90bffb7d-20f0-47f5-ae46-5b4bc1d4305e/beth-macdonald-Z8c863tIeQ0-unsplash.jpg WOMEN'S COACHING GROUP - Being a part of Justine's women's group has been like being a part of a mystery school that I never knew I needed. But not just any mystery school, Justine is a warm, playful and wise magicianess well beyond her years. She brings to life the aliveness that lies dormant in the backdrop of our lives - with such brilliance, ease and mastery that all and any of us who attend are unmistakably woken up in some irreversible way. I am a more grounded, fuller, wiser woman because I get to be a part of an underground of real women. We co-create womanhood together and our lives are animated in the process. Our men, our relationships, our sex lives, our work, our callings. Whatever is stuck in your life will most definitely become unstuck in the truest, kindest and most beautiful of ways. Beth, U.K. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/1613109586749-SIKENXR4Q92LEXHERZ4X/140422699_487817332619881_1800835444396241995_n.jpg WOMEN'S COACHING GROUP - All last year I was trying to find a therapist who has some Buddhist background and it never occurred to me that it could be Justine. I am so happy to have now found her coaching circle; it really resonates with how I think about life, myself, and my values. Justine brings a sensitive style, exquisite attention and humour. She’s deeply competent in creating a safe space to connect with others around the real challenges we all face on a daily basis. I feel comfortable and supported there. I particularly enjoy that there is no crosstalk and no advice giving; I get to share my experience as it is, and Justine helps me reflect on it. I always leave feeling grounded and connected. This is a tough time and it helps me to know that every week I have a space where I can share in a way that feels very safe. Louise Anker Petersen, Denmark https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/39556f45-4eac-4389-99ae-e18c01e96dc3/IMG_7354+%281%29.jpg WOMEN'S COACHING GROUP - Justine is that rare teacher who can hold a deeply intimate space with tenderness, humor, and skillful care. The mindful erotic is such a rich portal of self-inquiry - nothing hides here... And Justine created the space for me to be able to acknowledge and embody the whole landscape of my desire. I truly loved her coaching circle experience. Kate Dillon, USA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea771356430bb2c46ecb80e/1613110357303-02XOV1VQ4SAUTE15JWUW/janira.jpg WOMEN'S COACHING GROUP - I came to the Coaching Circle when my life was falling apart - a few major relationships in my life had broken down, I was depressed, and feeling quite hopeless about so many things. The Tuesday circles allowed me a safe space to be with my grief and anger... It sounds simple but it was hard for me to slow down and be with myself in this way. Being able to do so with the help of Justine is what led me to healthily process and move through one of the most difficult periods of my life. I have done a lot of work and been in a lot of other spaces with coaches before and I was honestly surprised at the depth I was able to reach in this group. I think there’s something quite special about the space Justine creates; the Coaching Circle is an intimate, warm, and permission-giving container that gives you the sense that all of you is welcome.
