Meet Justin

Hi! I’m a certified life and men’s coach passionate about personal development, relationship dynamics, and holding space for those courageous enough to look inward and walk the path of growth.

I found my way to becoming a coach after going on my own extensive healing and growth journey, climbing out of personal rock bottom to climbing mountain summits while forging a new way of being; one centered on compassion, authenticity, embodiment, relationship, courage and openness.

My mission is to support people, particularly men, become more heart-centered and conscious so they can develop better relationships with themselves, those they love, and the communities they live in.

While my story may initially resonate with men, I work with all genders in empowering clients to get unstuck and meaningfully expand their comfort zone so they can access more joy, ease, connection, aliveness, and purpose.

What I do

My work mainly takes the form of one on one coaching with elements of teaching and mentoring. I also facilitate personal development oriented group workshops and men’s gatherings that include experiential learning, opportunities for connection, and community building.

Those who work with me walk away with clear action plans, new skills and perspective that can be immediately implemented, more self-, situational, and/or relational awareness, and a greater sense of personal agency. When working with me, you’ll be met within a container of compassion, experience a safe space for exploration where nuance is recognized and appreciated, and you’ll be supported by structure that progresses your goals with a level of accountability that is tailored to you. I bring a lived experience and take a grounded, practical, embodied approach that is relatable and straightforward.

I also will be offering soul-centered group travel and pilgrimages. Sign up on waiting list if interested in destinations such as Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Spain.

What to expect

You, as client, lead the agenda by bringing specific topics or challenges and desired outcomes to coaching conversations. We then explore and work together towards defining goals and developing action plans.

I, as coach, provide the structure and tools to facilitate this process. Respecting your agency, you are in the driver's seat and buy in to any proposed goals, approaches, actions, etc. at every step of the way.

The coaching conversation is the container in which we'll work, with a main purpose of bringing additional awareness to the areas you’re focused on so conscious actions/decisions can be taken and helpful perspective gained. We may confront limiting beliefs, work through fears, identify underlying needs & values, and learn a lot along the way.

Conversations often include the following aspects:

  1. Topic exploration & agenda setting: What do we want to discuss, where are you today with respect to this topic (background & current state) and what would you like to accomplish in this session?

  2. Future visioning: Where would you like to go / how would you like to be related to the topic? What would make this specific conversation successful? Discuss personal meaning and motivations.

  3. Moving towards clarity: Detail out goal(s) and what specific steps look like to advance progress.

  4. Navigating next steps: Create a strategy & action plan to get you where you want to be. Identify & mitigate roadblocks (e.g. logistical, mindset, etc) to getting to the desired end point.

  5. Recap: Ensure goals & action plan align with your values & overarching desires. Include accountability plan if applicable.

The general goal is for you to step out of the session with some additional clarity, direction, sense of empowerment, and/or a bit more ease and compassion around your chosen subject of discussion.

I offer a complimentary, no-commitment connection and discovery call to discuss process in more detail, answer any remaining questions and understand your goals, evaluate fit, and align on terms and logistics. Coaching sessions are typically 1 hour in duration and conducted via video call. Coaching is confidential.

Coaching with me is:

  • A co-created partnership between client and coach

  • Client centered and client driven

  • Goal oriented with measurable results

  • Primarily future focused (though we learn from the past and take actions in the present)

  • Informed by positive psychology

  • Action plans and accountability

  • A safe, confidential space for exploration

  • Grounded and practical

  • Trauma-informed

Coaching with me is not:

  • Prescriptive or unsolicited advice

  • Judgmental

  • Replacement for traditional therapy

  • Primary support modality for acute crises

  • Medical board licensed

  • Quick fixes or life hacking (though perspective shifts may occur rapidly)

  • Always a linear process (at times, iterative)

Testimonials

  • I worked with Justin over the course of a few months. I can say that Justin is a kind, patient coach with enough lived experience to offer real insights on personal growth, relationships and meditation. I would recommend Justin’s practice to those who want a deep dive into their hidden selves and a steady companion for the journey.

    -Chase K

  • Justin is an incredible non-judgmental listener. He has a way of creating a safe space to discuss vulnerable topics. I also appreciate the reframe that Justin offered that allowed me to have better self-compassion in the process of growth.

    -MM

  • I have been in therapy for a couple years but Justin was the first coach I have worked with. Right off the bat, he exuded a calm, composed demeanor that invited me to open up and be vulnerable about various battles in my life. He is an incredible listener and was entirely present even when I rambled at times. His coaching style allows you to be in the driver seat so you can continuously give him feedback to veer the topic towards your unique goals and needs. After the session, the clear next steps and accountability helped me avoid procrastination and feel like I am taking small, steady steps towards my goals. If you are unsure about working with Justin or coaching in general, I would highly recommend starting small. It might surprise you how impactful even a single session can be!

    -Gautam A

  • I thought my session with Justin was great! I wasn’t sure what I’d like to talk about before we met, but Justin was open to seeing where the conversation would go. I think he did a great job of holding space while still guiding with reflective statements and clarifying questions. As a result, we were able to touch upon some feelings/thoughts/orientations that have been important to me for a long time but something I don’t usually create space to discuss or consider. I felt safe doing this in Justin’s presence, and also felt challenged to explore my (affective) responses.

    -NM

  • It is clear that this is Justin's passion and his way of creating impact in this world. He has deep personal experience with men's work, and this expertise coupled with his training as a life coach plus his kind, patient demeanor make him the perfect life coach! I highly recommend Justin, not just for men, but for anyone who wants to take their own life, purpose, and passions to the next level. He will be a great guide, mentor, and supporter for you - guaranteed!
