Mentorship
Not therapy. Not coaching. Something gentler, steadier, and more human.
This space is for you if you’re tired of:
Silencing yourself to keep the peace.
Over-giving or proving your worth.
Living under constant pressure.
You don’t need another system that tells you what to do. You need a companion who listens deeply, reflects honestly, and helps you use both the tools you already have and new ones that support you in this season.
It’s not about content or performance. It’s about presence -about having someone steady in your corner, so you can breathe, pause, and move forward in your own rhythm.
What Mentorship Feels Like
Life moves. Sometimes with force, sometimes with quiet insistence. You may be in a moment of transition - emotional, medical, hormonal, spiritual, or circumstantial.
- A conversation that helps you breathe again.
- A mirror that names where you’re giving away your power – and helps you reclaim it.
- A sanctuary where you don’t need to perform, fix, or prove.
Together, we’ll use Daily Contemplation Cards as anchors—gentle prompts between sessions that spark reflection and keep the work alive in your daily life.

The Founding Circle
I’m opening just a few one-to-one spaces in what I call my Founding Circle. The circle is mine, but the work is yours. It’s not a group—it’s intimate, personal, and tailored to you.
Every person who steps into this circle receives a handwritten deck of my Contemplation Cards as part of the mentorship.
This first round is a collaboration. We’ll walk together, learn what works, and shape this space slowly, with care.
Who It’s For
You’re in a season of transition – grief, menopause, illness, parenting changes, identity shifts, or simply an unraveling of the life you once held together.
You want to feel lighter, freer, and more at home in yourself. You don’t want another quick fix. You want someone steady to walk beside you.
Mentorship FAQ
Do you work online or in person?
Both. We can meet in my Port Chalmers studio, or online if that’s easier for you.
How long are sessions?
Your first session is 90 minutes, so we have time to settle in, explore where you’re at, and get clear on what you need. After that, sessions are usually 60 minutes—though we can adjust if something different feels right.
How often do we meet?
Most people begin with three months of fortnightly sessions. This gives enough space for reflection between sessions, while keeping the momentum alive. After those first three months, we’ll check in and decide what rhythm feels best for you going forward.
What does it cost?
The first session is $140 NZD and includes a set of my handwritten Daily Contemplation Cards—a beautiful tool to anchor our work between sessions. Ongoing sessions are also $140. (Yes, that makes the first session a very good deal!)
What’s included besides the sessions?
Everyone who begins mentorship receives a set of Contemplation Cards. Support between sessions may also be available—we’ll talk about what’s possible during your first session.
Reiki and Energy Healing
Subtle, spacious, and deeply restorative. Reiki sessions offer a moment of energetic recalibration - supporting emotional clarity, stress release, and inner grounding.
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.

Here’s how one friend describes the experience of having me in their corner:
“The mentoring Justene offers now is exactly what she’s offered me as a friend for years: deep wisdom, gentle support, and memorable tools that stay with you. She gives you space but also insight—guidance you can take up when you’re ready. It’s been life-changing for me."

Home Visits
In certain circumstances, I offer home visits to provide care in the comfort of your own space. This service is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic, debilitating conditions that make traveling to and from appointments challenging, or even impossible.
I have experience working with people in the final stages of life, offering gentle, hands-on techniques to provide pain relief and ease some of the physical and emotional difficulties they may be facing during this profound and sensitive time.
If you feel that a home visit may be appropriate for you or a loved one, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me via phone, text, or email to discuss your needs and explore whether this option might work for your unique situation.
