Business overview
As a parent who has found themselves scratching their head thinking “What do I do now?” I can relate to the challenges faced by modern parenting. This was the impetus needed for me to establish a high quality and bespoke parent coaching offering. I help parents to understand their children better by learning positive parenting skills and helping them find ways to apply them to their particular family dynamic.Products and services I offer
Parent coaching, speaking and facilitation are the main products offered by the business. Through writing on topics that parents want to know more about and working as a presenter I speak on parenting. My work includes facilitating group courses, workshops and private coaching.Why I'm in the Venus Network
Building strong business connections and relationships is an important part of maintaining my business and helping it grow. My coaching has taught me that we get the resilience we need from the relationships we have with others and I would say that Venus has helped me be more resilient in my business. I get my energy from people and Venus has introduced me to a wide range of interesting and successful business women. It can even be fun and I have made some great friends in the Network.My gallery
Testimonials
“I know that I am already a good parent and there were still things that I hadn’t been able to get the specific answers for, even though I read widely and have access to really good quality information on parenting. I felt counselling wasn’t right for me and the courses I looked at were very general. I’d heard from other parents that Justine could provide the tailored approach I needed. I’m really glad I booked in for our first session. Through working with Justine I came to the realisation that I need to be kinder to myself as a parent and that we need to keep learning and developing. I’ve gained greater awareness of the micro-wins going on at home all the time. I have also changed my view of my child and I am able to look at their behaviour and understand “why they do it”. This makes our experience together more positive. I’ve told people I work with about coaching with Justine already and would definitely recommend.”Felicity McKenzie Mum of two children
We had already sought out a number of different channels for parenting support including a 6 week course, talks and a lot of reading online. For our parenting to align more we knew we needed an individualised approach. When Justine was recommended to us by a friend we felt this was the guidance we needed. We always knew our daughter was sensitive, but didn't consider how intense these feelings were for her. Once we understood this and how it was impacting on her it was much easier to know how we could support her. This was quite a revelation given that Justine didn't ever meet her but was able to determine her personality through our discussions. We have slowed down what we do now and our approach has more of a positive spin. If you are looking for parent coaching tailored to your child’s needs I would absolutely recommend working with Justine.
Kristen Clarke mum of a boy and a girl
We decided to do parenting sessions with Justine as we felt that differences in our parenting styles were affecting our kids. We wanted to know how to be more on the same page.
After working with Justine we found we could do things in a way that was more suited to our family. One thing we learned was that a positive environment actually needs less parenting.
We definitely recommend Justine as a parenting coach who knows how to help a couple wanting to overcome differences. We are more aware of what is happening and how to be on the same page.
