"My experience with Justine has been the profoundest blessing on myself, my work, and my family. Justine is, by far, one of the wisest,
most generous, sagacious people I've met. She would say that she merely helped me to see those things within myself, and maybe that's true, but it still speaks to what an immensely skilled and caring healer and visionary she is. I have treasured my time with Justine.
Every session, without exception, I felt I had new access to and understanding of myself: as I was, as I am, and as I hope to be. The best investment I could have possibly made." - CHRIS ROBERTI, actor/filmmaker, BANKRUKT PRODUCTIONS, HBO's HIGH MAINTENANCE
"Justine's coaching made me feel like the person I want to be. It genuinely felt to me like my career & life were moved forward from our sessions. The sessions made me feel like my dreams were not only possible but like they were already coming true. I highly recommend her to anyone who feels stuck in their life or career, anyone who feels ashamed of their ambition or like they don't deserve success.
This was truly a life altering experience for me." - SHAINA FEINBERG, filmmaker & writer, NY Times Columnist

WHAT IS COACHING?
CREATIVE COACHING supports individuals to re-connect with and call upon inner resources, capacities and insights all while identifying and cultivating new tools and support structures to step into a fuller, more fulfilling vision for themselves in the world. Buoyed by the guidance of a coach, coaching partners are guided to listen inward, challenge limiting beliefs, dream their creative and life practices forward, establish accountability structures and celebrate growth as they stretch towards goals.
PERFORMANCE COACHING & CREATIVE FEEDBACK supports actors, performers and creative folks (novice, emerging, experienced or otherwise self-defined) in preparing for auditions, performances and presentations, in developing new work, and in deepening and refining craft. Sessions blend aspects of transformational coaching with performance/creative coaching techniques.
My work is informed by 20+ years as an artist and performer, a culture worker and creative producer, as a faculty member at leading arts programs (Yale School of Drama, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts) and as a certified professional coach through Coaching for Transformation. I draw from transformational & leadership coaching, conflict facilitation, liberatory practices, creative & collaborative practices, play, and somatic & mindfulness training in my work.
My approach is intuitive, playful, dynamic, direct -- and a healthy balance of mind and heart.
