I first met Justien at the airport in Faro, Portugal. Actually, Madeira was our final destination, but the wind put a stop to that. It was annoying then, but now I'm so grateful for that detour. It was actually a push in the right direction: a meeting with my soul teacher, Justien. She immediately caught my eye with her cowboy boots and leopard print pants. She radiated flow and confidence. Something I did not have at that moment. And that triggered me. We got talking and a little later I met her again. I followed a movement session on the beach and from the first minute I became emotional. Dancing with her guidance triggered a lot in me. Eventually I got into the journey and I haven't regretted it for a second.
When I got to her, I had completely lost myself. I didn't trust myself anymore, couldn't think clearly and the connection with my gut feeling was completely lost. I sat with a lot of guilt and self-hatred. As a result, I had also completely lost the direction of my business. The first session was immediately very spicy. I shared my deepest secrets with a scared heart and it was such a relief to feel that I was allowed to be with her in all my facets. There was no judgment, only acceptance. After that, everything gained momentum. I started working with the workbook (golden!) and also our conversations in combination with the creative therapy were very beautiful. I really looked forward to it each time. Each time a piece of self-hatred was transformed into self-love. I now dare to occupy more space again, both privately and professionally.
​
Furthermore, I already had a lot of experience in personal development. This is a strength but also a pitfall. Because the more you know, the more likely you are to forget the basics. Justien pushed the right buttons and reminded me to take a few steps back. First get the foundation back in order and honor it, then move on. Together we made that foundation extra solid. I now know again who I am, what makes me happy and how to organize my life around that. Dancing has also become a part of that.
I have already done several programs but Justien is the only coach who managed to break down part of the wall I have around me. Her work goes much deeper, including experiences and exercises you do in the creative sessions. I'm not at Justien's self-love level yet, but she continues to inspire and teach me. And she does that simply by being rock solidly herself. By loving herself and others in all facets.
Thank you, dear Justien.

Movement Workshop
The sun is shining it's nice and warm. A quantity of choices during the Joy of Growth festival.
Workshop called "connecting from playfulness and sensuality.
How could that not fail to capture the imagination. I should go listen to that.
But it became more than listening, it was also doing.
The art of letting go and getting into the dance. A beautiful quiet build-up of musical number to release the energy and inner playful child in us. From this playfulness of the dance with ourselves the transition to sensuality with ourselves.
What in normal circumstances is difficult for me became easy. Justiens guidance and energy was so great that you were sucked in. Making small jumps and surrendering yourself to Justiens guidance and the music.
Wonderful experience to be able to do this journey.

Mirror on the wall, who is the cleanest in this country? Well, by societal standards it looked clean but I didn't feel it. The mirror I was looking into gave me approval but it felt anything but beautiful and connected. Reflex? Looking up other mirrors: in which mirror will I look and will I see myself, the way I imagine her? No perfect skin nor body, no perfect speeches or words but real?
For years it seemed closer because I had known Justtheclub for a while. I was doing my first year of vocal studies at the conservatory but could do anything but get into my body. I was on stage & "I got nothing." Fight mode all the way and where to start to find that connection?
No clichés but the truth: I found it with Justtheclub a.k.a. with Juske. What did she teach me or teach me again? Well the list is not exhastive: In. Your. Body. Crawl. Connecting with yourself and your inner child, with the who you always were. Learning to do the puzzle yourself and not the puzzle that society presents to you as the societal recipe for success without room for self-care and simply a rhythm that suits you. Learning to strive for a balance of feminine and masculine energy. Less is more, the essential way of life.
What if a God was one of us? Well she's the goddess in flesh and blood that will help you find the direction. At first I thought to myself am I cool enough? But then magic happens: cool chick Juske shows her own, in social terms "less beautiful sides" without embellishment or shame. I had unfortunately forgotten for a moment that we all have these ... but that's the beauty of it too. A giant stinking mess yes, yet no resisting but embracing it. Day by day.
I quote Juske: 'This is nooo quick fix'. Indeed. After this journey I am still growing every day, every hour and every fraction of a nanosecond but for the first time I also don't want to be there on any given day. I realize that thinking you know it now makes your head firm and closed. I am learning, learning lust as a variation of wander lust. I keep going on the pace that fits me. Isn't learning fun?
I love it.
Love you Juske.
Merci.

Dear Justien,
Looking back on a fantastic journey.
It is very clear to me that I have been searching for who I really am since '22. In early '22 I had a burnout, so the time after was the beginning of my recovery and search. I only realize now that when I came to you in March ´23, that I had not recovered from my burnout at all. Nor did I realize then that I still had a road of recovery to travel. Through the sessions with you, it has slowly become clear who I really am and my life has been reshaped by living the way I am.
You gave me tools to reflect on who I am, gave me readings, had me create my human design, which was an eye opener. You let me create mood boards and collages, we danced together, burned my mask, I was allowed to cry with you and express my frustrations and insecurities, which was healing me. I quietly embraced my feminine energy and then enjoyed my photo shoot.
​
We are now November '23 and I see myself as a powerful, sweet woman, who is and will continue to be very caring, but who can also guard her boundaries. It was important to me in your journey that you do emphasize the soft feminine, but that we are also allowed to be the wild dancing woman and especially that I am and can be a mother hen. And that this is so is evident from the compliments I received from a few female students and women at JTC.
I have found my peace again and because of this I have also come in contact with women who have the same energy. I am very happy that I followed the program with you and you exposed a little bit of myself each week so that I could grow.
Thanks Juske

My life before JTC was fast-paced, hectic & fast-feeling. I quickly lost myself in the rhythm of society. When I lost myself in this, I had limited tools to deal with it. The bizarre thing is that sometimes you realize well that this is not my own rhythm, the hard part is finding the strength to find it.
Peoplepleaser, oh well. I just happen to be a gay empath. Listening to people is just something I do. If I lose myself, oh yes. Ah yes, ah yes. I didn't know that by leaving my boundaries open and undefined that when the chips are down I'm not doing anyone a favor. Inevitably a product of expectations. Knowing and agitating. One is pretty straight forward. Your body will tell you. The second is a little harder but then you discover that your body is smarter than you. It outsmarted me because I was stuck in a vicious cycle. Had to get out. Then I found JTC at the right time....

Little did I know that by leaving my boundaries open and undefined, when all is said and done, I am not doing anyone any favors. Inevitably a product of expectations. Knowledge and turmoil. One is pretty simple. Your body will tell you. The second is a little harder, but then you discover that your body is smarter than you. It outsmarted me because I was stuck in a vicious cycle. I had to get out. That's when I found JTC at the right time....
JTC taught me all this: setting boundaries is allowed, being weird is allowed, being yourself is allowed, embracing your sensuality is allowed AND it is allowed because it is allowed. You were made that way says your human design. One of the most beautiful things I am discovering lately: resistance breaks down when there is a sense of loss of control. I used to be able to so break my head over things that passed from a crush to a tube of an exam. Rolling too much into a victim position and not thinking: what if life just happens and keeps unfolding? Don't get hung up on all those wonderful things and don't break your head over them as they pass. This too shall pass: the unpleasant doesn't last but neither does the blissful. So appreciate it. I let it unfold. Appreciate the good, let go of the bad cause life is build this way & I don't want it in any different way.

It will be about a year ago today, 14.04.2023, that I came to Juske for an introduction to the coaching process.
Physically exhausted, I slid deeper and deeper into the chair during our conversation. "Here you can cry" - "Here it is safe"
There I was. 38 years - Been keeping up appearances for to long. And with Juske I suddenly found a place where 'the strong Natalie' could collapse like a house of cards.
Trust the process - see Juske and so I did.
I started the coaching and during the process I went through a rollercoaster in a few months. Because that's how the trajectory takes you to your own untrodden paths, riddled with resistance and ambiguities.
You determine the outcome yourself, you feel everything coming at you and think FUCK - WHY?!? But you decided to get in yourself, so the only way is forward. When your ride leaves, it's pretty exciting. Cause where is this leading me? But you realize: I need to trust this - I want to trust this. And you know. Juske is there every step of the way.
Throughout the process I started working with the JTC handbook - which I saw as playing cards to rebuild my own house. Since I had no experience with a burnout, rather saw this as a 'this will never happen to me', I also learned to accept through this process that what has been tackled NOW can be reaped the benefits later.
You learn to feel - you learn to look and above all you learn that there is only 1 person in the driving seat and that is you.
Thanks to the coaching I have learned to (like to) see myself again + to show myself to others for who I am.
On good and sometimes very bad days. No judgement. No filter. Just me - just us - Just the Club

Without knowing Justien (yet), I could already feel a vibe between us, so it felt very evident to connect and reach out. I believe it's beneficial for everyone to have a coach, to always encourage self-improvement. Justien guided me through an important transition in my life from being employed to being self employed. She helped me to challenge- and question myself twice, just to become even more confident and strong in my decisions. Through some very specific and creative assignments, I was able to see and learn things about myself from a different perspective and this ultimately made me adjust certain moves. She provided a safe setting for honest sharing and has the ability to ask provocative questions that help to “go deep” into various aspects of life.
​
I love to make constant progress in life and I love it even more with Justien by my side.

I followed the 'Just the two of us' trajectory. Largely to be supported in the start-up of my company as a secondary profession.
Justien was the right woman at the right time. On the one hand, she is empathetic and gives a pat on the back at the right time. On the other hand, a kick in the ass where necessary. In gentleness and with love for myself I learned to make decisions that were necessary. I changed patterns where necessary. During the meditations, emotions came up that were very far away. Very impressive how deep I found myself in this. This shows how crazy comfortable I felt with Justien. Throughout the process I was supported to give the best of myself to make my own dream come true. I learned to see myself better and got a different view on life.
​
I now make daily decisions with Justien's wise words in mind.
My life changed in all aspects. Thanks for everything sis

Participating in a journey with Justien is entering into the willingness to make a journey with and within yourself.
A journey inwards but also a way to see yourself through the eyes of another but in a very conscious way. As women, we often fulfill many roles: daughter of, sister of, mother of, partner of, colleague of… During these roles we are often little aware of who we really are. During our toddler years we discover that our emotions are separate from someone else and that we just have our own identity. While in our adult life we are often so fused with the other and the many roles we play without really knowing what we feel, what we really want for ourselves.. This is the moment where Justien comes into view. She takes care of this awareness in a completely homemade and empowering way.
​
For Justien, movement is the tool to (re)discover your body in a casual way. When was the last time you danced casually in your living room? Move as only your body feels it, without all the critical looks of others. Just playing like a kid. This is also covered during the surf lessons : we fall and stand on the waves of the ocean just like on the waves of life. No, it is not a dance trip, not a yoga trip or a surf trip.
​
Just The Club stands for having fun, moving, being in nature, sunrises and sunsets... but also for femininity, passion, awareness and 'standing still', a kind of energetic flow of self-care. In those moments of silence, Justien encourages you to listen to that inner voice that we all have and to give it space.
In conversations she names things, offers you a mirror and encourages self-reflection. And she does that in a real 'Juske' way : feminine, playful but also direct. She is not afraid to name what she notices and or feels. She provides you with the tools to get started yourself, the impetus to start from your own deep desires.
As a photographer during her road trips, I always get goosebumps when I see how women blossom and are in the flow to be just softer and kinder to themselves.
There really is a 'before' and 'after' Just The Club Experience

WORKSHOP
Before the start of the workshop I was very critical/skeptical about 'women's' therapy/sessions/things. The 'healing' with each other gave me the idea that only women should 'heal' from something & confirmed my 'inspired' idea that women are always fragile & being vulnerable… But here I have never felt so strong, so in my power. Femininity has taken on such a different meaning.
​
I used to always want to hide 'my femininity', I was always 'one of the boys' 'straightforward' & I so devalued my femininity. Because then I experienced 'femininity' exactly as something weak, too frivolous, easy. I have never felt so pure & felt connected to myself. I have never accepted myself so completely - in all my fragility. I've never felt so vulnerable this past week - in van: I calmly accepted every emotion that came. And on the other hand I have never felt so strong & felt empowered.
You put my femininity in my world in a completely different way.
​
Thanks Jus. ♡

Everybody needs a juske in her life!
Experienced both a coaching trajectory and a journey together with her and I would no longer be able to imagine both things in my life. My self-growth shot up again during the journey with her and I couldn't be more grateful for her approach that clicks fantastically with my individuality. The best is yet to come! A coaching / journey with Justien. That is a lot. Too much to summarize in a short feedback, but it is all-encompassing in terms of value in your life.
​
A coaching at Justien that is:
To discover. To play. To cry. Laugh. To dream. Step outside your comfort zones. Visualize. Being a woman. To move. To connect. Confront. To grow.
But above all, it is a step closer to yourself every day and nothing in life is worth more than that.

I love working with Justine and her approach in supporting women during her trips in Morroco. She creates a full on support and here also space to not hide, to not get busy while still in environment that is full of temptations. So her retreats are inner work but lots of fun too.
I see how important is to offer tools, support but also bit of light.

Review: wonderful how justien puts the group together. You really end up in a group of women who 'match' it immediately feels super good. The journey is full of sessions where Justin makes you turn inside in her wonderful way (playful and full of wisdom at the same time 💫). Thanks for this wonderful trip! 🧡

When I no longer really knew who I really was due to the rat race of life, I ended up with Justien. During the process I ended up in a very warm community, felt a lot of connection and found my passions again! 🔥✨
