How do I do working with Claire justice?  She provides such a safe, non-judgemental space.   I find her guidance to be beautiful, I find it very tailor-made and I feel that she connects with her clients in a way that other coaches don’t.

There have been many ah-ha moments with Claire…so many that I have my own name for when she comes out with her amazing realisations!  She has a gift for saying exactly the right thing at the right time.

What Claire does is really REALLY simple, but super powerful, as is how she does it.

We’re busy enough and we’re complicated enough, so you just want things to be simple   and she provides really practical guidance that you can take to every part of your life.

I feel like I’ve stepped back into my power.   I still have to remind myself to take time for myself but through working with Claire I’m more mindful of that now. I’ve put aside the guilt and all the other usual stuff that we’re conditioned with…that’s all falling away.

I’ve learned that there is a different way – it IS possible to have it all , it’s just a question of how you see it and how you deal with it and how you handle things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m like every woman. I have a business that I run, I have 10 people that I employ, I have a little girl, I have my family and I have myself and I think that probably the most poignant thing I can say is that I had acknowledged that I was last on my own list as a woman.

Honestly, I felt I was functioning but not living and I was drowning but I didn’t know I was drowning and I didn’t know I was drowning until I physically manifested disease.

It took me to get to a brink to be able to realise and reassess my life and my needs and prioritise my needs and speak about my needs and action my needs. I was diagnosed last year with quite a rare cancer, very atypical for my age given that I was so clean living and I had absolutely none of the environmental risk factors. I had a very big and brutal operation, and Im very please to say that I’m sitting here and that journey has been nothing short of miraculous, but it has taken a lot of self-reflection, and a lot of personal shifts and a lot of work to get to this point. 

I think the forms of help that are available, the very traditional help that is available, isn’t suitable for everybody, everyone is at a different point in their lives and everyone’s at a different point of consciousness, so what I really was looking for was someone who could hold a very safe space for me someone completely neutral, where I could be myself completely, tell my story, who would witness it and who would guide me in the work I needed to do for my recovery. 

The only obstacle is yourself and the value you give yourself, so there is no obstacle, not for me anymore, I value myself too much. That has changed 100% since working with Claire, and it’s an ongoing journey and you have to remind yourself daily when you get caught in the cacophony of everything and the traditional, life as a mum and a busy worker, and someone with a professional career. You have to remind yourself daily how important it is taking that time and space for yourself, whether you want to do it through coaching or through whichever avenue opens your heart and allows you to be.

How do I do working with Claire justice verbally? A safe space, a very sacred space, a very non-judgemental space. I find your guidance to be beautiful, I find it very tailor-made for who you’re dealing with, I feel that you connect with your clients in a way that other coaches don’t, and you tailor your programs to their needs in that respect. The energy and the connection. With something like coaching it either works or it doesn’t, you feel that connection with someone or you don’t, you give that to people that you draw in first off. 

The most important thing I felt immediately was a release. I think that’s so important to feel that release and to feel your emotions whatever they may be whatever your feeling because we’re taught in our society not to feel, we’re so shut down. That release and getting back in touch with myself somatically and emotionally, was the big thing for me. And always has been for you with me, between us…you put me back in my body and you put me back in my mind and you help me connect both of those elements together.

There have been so many ah-ha moments…there are so many of them that I have my own name for when you come out with your amazing realisations and insights! There are so many of those moments. And you have a gift for saying exactly the right thing at the right time. 

What you do is really really simple but super powerful as is how you do it. It’s not a complicated thing, it’s very simple, it’s very elemental and that’s something I’m very drawn to. We’re busy enough and we’re complicated enough and so to add that other layer in life you just want to keep things really simple. I feel there’s a wonderful state of flow between you and your clients, between you and I, and again I’m going to mention the safety. You have to be able to express all of you and all of your colours and all of the dark bits of your characteristics as well as all the light and you do that beautifully, you manage that beautifully.

It’s like lifting the lid off a pot that’s been cooking for hours and hours and years and years and that lid needs to be lifted off gently and safely before it bubbles over and most of us women in modern society will allow it to bubble over. Mental health related issues are at an all time high and I see that with my own patients daily and there is nowhere for them to go. So finding key people like yourself is so important.

I feel like I’ve stepped back into my power, and you help hold me there. You hold me accountable, it’s me that has to do the work, but you hold me accountable to stay in that power. That’s very powerful, that’s really important as a woman. Because we’re bombarded all the time so I now hold my own. I hold my own with my child, I hold my own with my staff, I hold my own with my partners, I hold my own with my relationships, so keeping in that, keeping my voice alive, keeping my voice expressed is very important.

I think that when I’m in a state where I’m maintaining that state of power within myself I’m making much clearer decisions, much better decisions in my business, I’m making much clearer decisions in my relationships and my connections with people from my patients to everybody that is in my life. And that’s so powerful.

Three key things about working with me…the simpleness of your process, it’s just a solid, simple foundation, if anyone’s ever going to start something like this, they need to start it with you and your program. Being able to be in your full expression. Really practical guidance that you can take to every part of your life.

Take her number, call her now, just liberate yourself from the funk that overtakes us all. It’s a no-brainer, I think you’re wonderful and I’m not just saying that because we’re doing this interview, I believe in everything that you do and in who and how you are. What’s also key is that there are thousands of coaches out there, you’re the embodiment of what you talk about and what you guide, you practice what you preach. And that’s what’s so different about you. Because there’s a lot of people that talk about this but they don’t embody it and they don’t live it, and they are not the example. You want to see someone who is an example.

There’s a blossoming that comes when you apply the work, it’s all within yourself, you have to do it. You can read a hundred books, you can watch a million youtube videos, you can listen to the greatest gurus and sages of all time but if you’re not applying it and you’re not making it relevant to your life then it’s just advice it doesn’t become wisdom.

I still have to remind myself to take that time but through this process with you I’m much more mindful of that now. I’ve put aside the guilt and all the other usual stuff that we’re conditioned with, that we’re taught, that’s ingrained in us…that’s all falling away. And whether I’m a better person or not, I FEEL better and that’s the most important thing, that’s what translates to everyone around me. Especially my child and my loved ones…and you set that example to them.  You are teaching them that example of how important it is and that it all comes from within, and we’re all worthy of that time, and love and attention and investment in ourselves. 

Our children watch us. They don’t do as we say, they do as they see. 

All I hear from my female patients is this overwhelming guilt and self-sacrifice and martyrdom, and we’ve got to change the paradigm, it’s so important because this is what we’re teaching them and you want to be the best example you can be. Now when I go out of the door with my yoga mat, my child says to me, ‘Oh Mummy you’re going to yoga, that’s nice’ So she can see it’s springing into well being and that’s going to be a decision she makes for herself later on. We’re teaching physical and mental wellbeing and that’s how we become better human beings, all the way around.

You provide a wonderful gift to people. There’s no pressure with this, there’s no ego in the work that Claire does, I love you! I’m excited to continue my journey with Claire, I am grateful for her, I’m grateful for the gifts that she has, and that she’s so authentic. You’re the real deal and I’m so grateful for you and I can’t wait to see where my journey with you takes me next, it’s going to be even more beautiful than it’s been already!

There is a different way, we don’t have to do what we were taught and conditioned, we need to unlearn everything and start again and really come from a place of happiness and joy and it is possible to have it all, it’s just a question of how you see it and how you deal with it and how you handle things.
