A Few Words From a Few Clients
It has been an essential part of our work over the years to keep clients' identities completely confidential and we always include NDA's. At times, clients choose to share their experiences and agree, in writing, to do so and be named because they feel so strongly about it or because they do not live in the public eye. We are grateful for the positive impact made on all of our clients, shared or not.
"I can't think of a bigger need than a service like this nor a better person to fulfill that need than Justina Vail. Not just because she's been there... but she also knows, expertly and compassionately, the emotional terrain."

"Justina creates a space that you can step into and honestly look at where you are at and where you want to go. Her sessions aren't a quick fix approach that make you feel good short-term. They are life changing sessions, built with an intuitive, empathetic expertise, that help you explore and build the future you want. Expect to work at a deep level to create strong and sustainable foundations that support your personal and creative transformation."
"Thank you so much. I can't explain how much it meant to be able to discuss the challenges I'm facing... These tools put me back in control of the situation and will allow me to be proactive. This was exactly what I needed at this point. Your style is wonderful and your insights are priceless."
“This program was exactly what I needed at this point in my life. It has allowed me to take the next step in my process and has given me the tools to continue with (my) growth, letting go and moving on for positive changes in my life. Thank you.”
“I dug deeper than I normally would, which evoked a strong sense of self... I feel like a flame has ignited inside me and my duty to nourish that flame into fruition will be assisted by what I've learned through Justina's teachings. I can't wait!"
"...Everything I learned is so easy, fun and realistic. Thank you! ... Your words, methods, beliefs and teachings have helped me in my daily life. I would find myself praying and asking for some peace. You have given me some peace. Thank you many times! I am truly happier and brimming with excitement...!!!"

Jo Ann M Radja, CPC, ELI-MP
“It was an excellent coaching demo- very professional with a clear intention of empowering the client- the client has all the answers. It was helpful to see what questions to ask to move the client forward to find her own answers. Also, I've learned something new- which is direct communication. I definitely want to learn more about it and start using in my own practice in addition to asking empowering questions. Excellent presentation- very valuable for me as a life coach. Seeing how powerful the session was, it inspired me to keep up with my own coaching skills.”
Kristina Simpson ACC
“(Justina) created huge space for the client by letting the client talk a lot - I especially appreciated this with Justina's reflection at the end - "Don't feel that as a coach you have to lean on questions - sometimes you can just reflect back or make an observation and then see where the client takes thing next" (this was a great reminder to relax and dance in the moment) Some great, powerful questions...”
