What I discovered through our coaching -- It only takes 1 person to improve a relationship (good news right?) Just by working on myself, my own mindset, perspective and choices, I've been able to noticeably shift the dynamic with my partner and have such better interactions. Thanks to the work I did with Jess, I feel more awake and aware of my role to play in each moment. I feel less on autopilot. I feel there's more curiosity and gratitude in my day to day now. It's empowering. It's liberating! Jessie's style is fun, curious and compassionate so nothing is off limits. The loving space she holds for self-discovery is really genuine and powerful, and her curiosity helped fuel my own. You learn to master yourself, to see through the old stories you've been telling yourself and create new, more exciting and empowering ones. If you're feeling stuck in negative patterns in your relationship, I highly recommend working with Jess!

I was battling with a 'sense of failure' as a father/husband/person due to what I thought was from financial pressures and a lack of empathy, accountability with my was breaking down my relationship with my wife. His counseling experience and deep knowledge of behavioral therapy identified a possible 'Complex Relational trauma response' disorder that my wife showed signs of displaying. Justin helped me understand her trauma response and how I was reacting to her issues with my own issues which triggered her fear, abandoment, frustration, mistrust, and gravitation to conflict which induced my own defensiveness reactions and anger. He provided me with my own personal tools to deploy on a regular basis. These helped me be nice to myself and appreciate my purpose and that I was actually doing my best to improve myself and provide love most importantly. Some of those solutions and tools such as meditation, mindfulness, self awareness/development created personal behavioral changes and coping strategies I now feel better about myself . A relationship tools I really liked was his own self developed 'Oh-Five-X Repair Framework' ( a one page document) which has provided us ability to create a safe place for trust, healing, and recovering from past trauma and experiences in our relationship and personal pasts. I've developed a deeper understanding and awareness of myself and Justin's actionable tools and strategies are much more than what most other life coaches or counselors can deliver. Its his ability to land these strategies/tools on point and get you to understand how to employ them to get better/improve/develop yourself With this guidance I've noticed I've become more empathetic, less reative and more self caring so my family can continue to heal, and our relationship and welfare of ourselves beniftis our family. Justin gets change happening and you get great value for your time and while gaining a true caring friend and an exceptional life coach in your corner.

    I was in counseling with someone else when my father passed away. The sessions--which were missing…read morethe mark to begin with--became even more painful, and eventually I left. I knew I needed a different conversation and began searching online for someone new. I found three possibilities. After speaking with each of them, I chose Justin. I am forever grateful that I did. Justin was exactly what I needed: a skilled and compassionate listener, someone with deep experience and literacy in the grief space, someone who truly understands how cataclysmic a significant loss can feel. In particular, I appreciated Justin's use of various frameworks that helped validate and contain many of the difficult thoughts and feelings I was experiencing. Just as importantly, he saw and honored me as a complicated person with many different parts. He encouraged me to recognize those parts myself and to approach them with curiosity and respect. Justin also takes a humble bow to the unknown--to death, and to the depths of sorrow that can accompany profound loss. His presence during some of the most devastating moments I shared with him was a gift. Around seventeen months after my father died, I began to feel different. More integrated. A little stronger. Better able to look back and see just how broken open I had been, and how much I had changed. As filmmaker Ken Burns has said, the half-life of grief is infinite. I still feel it. But I cannot deny that I have learned a great deal, that I have grown around my grief, and that I continue to do so. The grief remains, but it has softened. Could I have muddled through on my own? Perhaps. But how fortunate I was to have Justin alongside me for this part of my journey. Although our work together was largely focused on the death of my father, we touched on many other aspects of life as well. My sense is that if I had come to Justin during a completely different chapter of my life, he would have been just as helpful. If you are considering working with Justin, I would not hesitate. Just do it.

    When I first contacted Emily, I wanted to hyper-focus on my path towards a relationship. I called…read moreher because I was at a crossroad and did not know where to start/which way to go. Within the first 15 minutes, she pointed out patterns of behavior that affected my personal life as well my professional life. With simple shifts to my thought process, my behaviors started to change in a positive way. I feel that my relationships and connections with people around me have grown in such a deep way - it is overwhelming! When I explored and committed to the things Emily said, I was given the gift of improving all aspects of my life. I have gone from doing the things that I thought I needed to do (in a very hurried, disconnected and almost robotic way) to checking in with myself and being the present. I have an overwhelming feeling of peace and calm and a solid feeling of "I am where I should be right now". Emily made our coaching sessions seamless - I work remotely with her over the phone/Facetime. It's so easy to pick up her call 1st thing in the morning in my jammies or just before dinner (while dinner is cooking!) I am embarking on a new part of my life and I am so excited! Instead of a mid-life unravelling, I feel like a door has been opened to the most exciting part of my life! I cannot thank Emily enough for her wonderful insight, support, encouragement and belief in me! Thank you thank you thank you Emily!

I want to step forward with more confidence, higher energy, a peaceful mind, and a shining and open heart. I can tell you that Emily is effectively and caringly helping me do just that. I can't recommend her enough. Honestly, if you want true results with a professional that is exceedingly approachable, just call her for a short chat. There's nothing to lose and oh-so much to gain... I'll get back to my ever-improving-and-always-grateful-life now. Best wishes to you.

Ben provided me with the tools to figure it out on my own teaching me perseverance was my middle name with resiliency in my rear view. I have been learning to show myself care, and learning to cut myself some slack. I have been learning to let life unfold and not play the puppet master so much. I have taken myself out on countless solo dates and adventures getting to know the goddess of my heart. The tools Ben taught me, gave me permission to explore myself experiencing life on human terms. He helped me take a deeper look at myself, and see why I seemed to care so deeply about the judgment of others. He helped me let that go, and I continue to let my ego go as often as I become aware. He showed me how to heal. I think of our sessions often and think to myself, "what would Ben say, or have me do to let the energy be there, and process it." He showed me how to work on my shadow allowing all she is, to just be. Ben has helped teach me to live life on life's terms. I used to think I'm in control of my surroundings where somehow expectations always seemed to disappoint. He guided me to find solace in my breath, to allow my emotions to be present without judgment, and gave me permission to follow my bliss where I can find inner peace. I will forever appreciate his help and guidance while his energy has stuck with me all this time in continuing to do the work. I feel as though once we turn the pages in our lives, we rarely find the time or energy to express our appreciation to those who made a difference, and this is me flexing my vulnerability as Ben made a huge impact on my life. Thank you. Thank you from my whole heart. Thank you for choosing this line of work; it truly is transformational!
