About Me
I’m Justene - mentor, maker, and bodyworker.
Get in touchFor nearly 30 years I’ve been walking alongside people as they navigate change. Through bodywork, gentle guidance, and soulful tools, I help you soften the ache, steady yourself in transition, and come home to who you are.
I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you – listening deeply, reflecting honestly, and offering tools and practices that bring you back to presence.
What Shapes My Work
For much of my life, I tried to keep the peace, prove my worth, and keep up with the endless pressure of “doing it all.” I know what it feels like to silence yourself, over-deliver, and run on urgency.
But through these struggles, I discovered my greatest gifts:
- Emotional steadiness → I create safe spaces where people can feel without fear of judgment, and where truths can be spoken honestly.
- Embodied worth → I no longer push to prove myself, and I help others discover they are already enough.
- Calm presence → I don’t rush. I model a slower, steadier way of moving forward that feels sustainable.
This is the essence of my work:
I help people release the cycles of silencing, proving, and always rushing—so they can root into truth, worth, and calm power.
"I’m particularly passionate about helping people reconnect with their bodies and step out of their heads. Life’s stresses, including family health challenges, end-of-life care, and demanding work environments, have given me a deep empathy for those navigating similar pressures."
My Work Today
- Mentorship → One-to-one companionship for navigating transition.
- Contemplation Cards → Soulful, handwritten prompts to anchor presence.

Together, these create a sanctuary for change—whether you come with aching shoulders, a restless spirit, or a longing for new tools to guide you.
Beyond the Work
Rooted in the wisdom of Eastern medicine and healing traditions, Reiki is a natural, vibrational, hands-on practice that channels universal life force energy—known as Ki, Chi, or Qi—to support the body’s innate ability to heal. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Japanese traditional medicine, the human body is viewed as an interconnected network of energy channels, or meridians, through which life energy flows. Maintaining the free, balanced flow of this energy is seen as essential for physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Reiki, developed in Japan, is one of these powerful healing practices. The word “Reiki” combines two Japanese terms: Rei, meaning “Spirit” or “Universe,” and Ki, meaning “life force energy.” Through gentle application, Reiki practitioners channel this universal energy to restore balance and promote the natural flow within these meridians, encouraging the body’s own capacity for self-healing.
This gentle yet profound energy work can be integrated into a massage session or provided as a stand-alone treatment, tailored to your specific needs. Reiki is particularly effective for relieving pain, stress, and both physical and emotional tension.
It offers support for those managing acute health concerns, while also enhancing overall resilience and well-being. By creating a deeply calming environment, Reiki enables the body and mind to enter a balanced, harmonious state, fostering healing, self-regulation, and renewed vitality.

I’m also a maker. Sewing, mending, slow crafting—it lights me up and connects me with others who create with their hands. I love the process of turning something old into something cherished, and I see making as another form of healing.
It’s not the center of my business, but it’s part of who I am. If you’re a fellow maker, or would like something made with story and soul, this is part of the sanctuary too.
A Final Word
Whether through mentorship, cards, bodywork, or the things I make, my hope is simple:
That you leave feeling more at home in yourself.
When you’re ready, I’m here.
