“Prior to me starting with Justine, in 2022 I had a really hard year with CRPS. I ended up with multiple hospital stays due to dehydration, medication complications and CRPS flares. My biggest change in 2022 with Justine came with me identifying I had purpose, I had meaning and I just needed a little bit of structure and support in the way I interacted with life. The biggest thing Justine was able to accomplished for myself, was allowing me to consider my life with CRPS differently and know that I still had value and meaning, and I could push through it be the rockstar I knew I was. I’ve lived with CRPS for 7 years now and honestly if you have any question, or doubt, take the leap. It’s in you, you know you’re in there. You’ll be able to get places with Justine you never thought were possible. The mental challenge, the fun, the guidance is there. You just have to believe in yourself. ”

“Justine cares about helping people with CRPS. Her kindness and empathy comes through loud and clear. This is a very rare commodity in the medical community. She’s very intelligent and intuitive and is great at problem solving. She is able to adjust treatment so it will be effective and suitable for your condition; she has certainly done that for me. Unfortunately for her (but good for you) she has lived with CRPS and other unfortunate medical problems and understands what it takes to endure and more importantly help you live a good quality of life. Her system is designed to address the physical as well as psychological aspects of living with CRPS i.e. exercise, nutrition, mental health and personal relationships. The things that made the biggest difference for me was her understanding of my physical and mental challenges, positive attitude and solid communication skills, correct stretching and breathing regimen, matching the routines with my overall ability to accomplish goals, and looking forward to the variety of movement, strength exercises and helpful breathing techniques. My core has become much stronger which has helped me to keep moving, swimming and kayaking. Your breathing exercises have actually improved my lung capacity along with decreasing coughing. Your sense of humor and positive attitude helps me stay on an even keel…no trivial thing when living with the medical issues I have. Simply put, you’re a very good coach. You know what you’re doing.”

“If you are on the fence about working with Justine I’d say 100% go for it. She works with you and the hard times that come outside of chronic illness as well. I was hesitant as I didn’t know if I would be able to ‘keep up’, but it isn’t like that with her. She works with you and what you need, she listens and adapts everything about the program according to what you need as a person. There’s no judgment and she is just a wonderful person that just wants to help and share her passion! When I first started my biggest struggles and frustrations were pain. I have CRPS in my lower back and both legs/feet and overall just a ton of body pain and soreness. The two most helpful things I have put into practice would definitely be release techniques and deep breathing. These really help me dial back and ground myself throughout the day. Since I started working with Justine, life certainly hasn’t given me a break (as it doesn’t for many of us) and having these tools in my toolbox has been so incredibly helpful. Having someone keep me accountable but in a good way has been a game changer. I overall feel much better as I have more of a schedule, feel stronger and more grounded and secure in what I’m doing. Justine is always willing to answer questions with no judgement and will listen to what you have to say!”

“As someone who has prioritized exercise their entire life, I thought I'd know how to cope and incorporate movement into a this new life with chronic pain. As it turned out, I didn't know where to start and felt overwhelmed. Justine's MARS ID program was exactly what I needed to get my confidence back, and to learn how to move properly with pain. She makes sure to address specific strengths and weaknesses, compensation patterns, and creates a uniquely tailored program for each individual. I learned more from her in 3 months than I did in a whole year of PT. The fact that she has CRPS herself gives her not only in-depth knowledge, but her understanding and empathy is so much more than I ever experienced in traditional PT. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Justine is by far the most knowledgable person I’ve ever met who offers 1:1 coaching. I did not realize how much there was in my life that I can actually change, right now. Since I’ve been working with her, I’ve been to the beach more times in a few weeks than probably the entire year. It’s wild. Thanks to Justine, I now have daily attainable goals and tools. She’s helping me become unstuck, find solutions to the big things even if they are little, but most importantly she’s giving me hope. Thank you Justine.”

— Jen H.

“Having 1:1 coaching with someone who has CRPS and understands that each person is different is incredible. You come up in so many conversations, especially with my doctors; everyone can tell I’m doing so much better. Justine helped me change my mindset. Having CRPS for so long, I had almost given up. In my head, it was just going to keep getting worse. If it wasn’t for your program, I wouldn’t have the confidence to ‘do’ normal things again. Thank you Justine for helping me see that I can do anything. You literally changed my life.”

“Honestly, you have already been an answer to my prayers. It’s so much easier to figure out this new way of life when I have a guide. Someone who understands what i am going through. The doctors, therapists, etc. don’t have their own experience of this illness. Just following your account opened me to understand more, and to have the opportunity to work with you - the best! I am not interested in the final results that much anymore. The whole journey is the thing. I don’t have to know what might happen or not happen. I am more at peace. I remember the pain and tiredness during the cramps. I will never forget it. But if it happens again, I know I will survive and I can help myself get back. It is empowering! And for that, I am grateful to you. You were there for me, even if it was the weekend. I will never forget it. “

“Justine is amazing! I was almost bed bound when I started working with her. Now I’m watching my granddaughter (3 years old) 1 day a week and I can recover from it. I couldn’t watch her on my own for so long and now I’m keeping up with a 3 year old! I still flare but now I have solid tools to use to help me. I am recovering much better than I ever thought possible! It used to be do one thing and be in bed for the week. Now even after bad flares and meltdowns I’m still able to regulate my nervous system and be OK to do more. Justine changed my life. She’s the link you really need to live with CRPS”

“It was such an amazing consult. She was very receptive, thorough, and had such great energy that made me even more excited. The individual focus on each person that you coach is amazing.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Justine for a couple of months. It has been the best decision I have done since I got CRPS. Justine is a true professional in her field. MARS ID Method covers all the areas of life that CRPS affects on. If you want to learn how to live your best life with CRPS, are ready to make some changes, and are looking for someone to guide you on the way, you should book a call with Justine.”

“Friday was the day I got my first workout since the accident that led to CRPS. And man it felt good! Before the accident, I used to move around a lot. The last two years have been a weird time for my body. Been thinking I need muscle and body control for a long time, but when nerves don’t work properly, it feels impossible. Two months of persistence and daily preparation under Justine’s guidance brought me to this point. It has taken commitment and faith that the MARS I.D. Method works…At the beginning of June I spent two nights in the hospital with seizures and massive pain. I realized I am all alone with my situation because no one seemed to help me…I finally realized I need to take my healthcare back into my own hands. Fortunately, a little before that moment I had decided to hire Justine to help me. She helped me even when I was in the hospital, directing me through different exercises to calm my nervous system. From that moment on, Justine has guided me gently but purposefully down a path I had only dreamed of. In addition, my mindset has completely changed. I no longer focus on where I want to end up. I’m focused on what I have right now. I trust that life will carry on, when I have the courage to surrender to the path. There are plenty of mountains and stones ahead, but being afraid of them won’t help me.”

“This is like learning a language again that I’ve been able to speak years ago. Familiar but different at the same time. My brain is working like crazy trying to figure it out. It is really like a challenging puzzle, but also fun. I think I have never enjoyed training this much! And I loved it also before.”

“My goals have changed from what I originally thought I wanted. I was ready to figure out how I was going to get back to everything I was doing before - working out was my priority. But now I’m really learning about slowing down and learning new ways to handle my condition. Breathing, pacing, release techniques - these are all things I had no knowledge/appreciation for. Now, I’m more focused on honing in on those skills. I’m definitely moving towards my goals.”

“I am so happy we got here. The start of working together was not easy because of my massive flare up. But it doesn’t matter that we had to wait for this because with CRPS there are so many other aspects to tackle. Thank you for helping me get here. This was a huge win for me. “

“You have changed my life. You have shown me a path next to the one I was walking on. I know I am finally going where I have wanted to go. There are hills and big rocks ahead, I know. but with your help, I finally have the proper tools to get over those barriers. You are a star.”
