I’m an Engineer, Entrepreneur, Runner, Yoga enthusiast, and Life Coach—but above all, I’m someone who has learned to rise, rebuild, and thrive.

I’m living my dream life now—but it wasn’t always this way. My story is one of navigating challenges, breaking barriers, and constantly stepping beyond my comfort zone.

Life tested me early. I was orphaned at 16, and by 18 I was living alone in a new city—responsible for every decision, every bill, every choice that would shape my future. There was no one to nudge me toward lectures or remind me to study. No voice saying, “You’ve got this, Justine.” That was my first—and perhaps greatest—life lesson: No one is coming to save me. My future depends on the mindset I choose and the actions I take today.

That mindset carried me through some of life’s toughest seasons: leaving a toxic relationship, rebuilding my health—both physically and mentally—earning my engineering and business degrees, building financial security, and even moving continents to start fresh.

Coming from where I did, I was determined to create a future where I would never have to worry about stability—financially, emotionally, or otherwise. Now, I’m learning to pause and enjoy the life my younger self worked so hard to create. One of the greatest joys of this chapter is helping other women rise above their own challenges—whether it’s imposter syndrome, self-doubt, systemic bias, work-life balance struggles, or the uncertainty of not knowing how to craft a future vision.

My career began in a path few women in my community took: engineering. I entered male-dominated industries like mining and manufacturing, where resilience, adaptability, and self-confidence weren’t just useful—they were essential. Along the way, I earned a Master’s in Industrial Engineering and an MBA, stepping into senior leadership roles, including Executive Director and Board Member of a global engineering firm before I turned 40.

But my growth hasn’t been limited to the career. I’ve run six half-marathons, earned a Yoga Teacher certification, trained in Executive and Leadership Coaching, explored more than 20 countries, and built a life on another continent. These experiences taught me that true success is multi-dimensional—it’s about alignment between your goals, your values, and your well-being.

Today, I bring all these lessons—personal resilience, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of human potential—into my coaching. I guide women to break through barriers, unlock their capabilities, and create lives that are not just successful, but deeply fulfilling.

I know what it takes to start from nothing—and to start over. That’s why I’m passionate about helping women create lives that aren’t just defined by achievement, but by joy, balance, and lasting fulfilment.
