JUSTINE STEEL, SOMATIC COACH & CLINIC MANAGER
Somatic Experiencing®–Informed Coach | Virtual Sessions Across BC
Justine offers Somatic Experiencing®–informed coaching for adult individuals who feel stuck in cycles of urgency, overwhelm, emotional reactivity, or shutdown, often despite years of insight, therapy, or personal development work. Her clients are not new to self-reflection; they are simply ready for change that reaches beyond understanding and into the body.
Her work is rooted in the belief that lasting transformation happens when the mind, body, and nervous system are supported together. Rather than pushing for insight or willpower, Justine helps clients create change from the inside out by building the internal safety required for the nervous system to soften, reorganize, and respond differently to life.
Through a gentle, body-based approach, Justine supports clients in resolving stored survival responses, reducing chronic stress, and increasing their capacity to stay present during challenge. Sessions are collaborative and paced with care, allowing the body to lead the process instead of being overridden.
Clients who work with Justine often experience meaningful shifts such as:
Feeling calmer and more regulated in everyday situations
Less emotional overwhelm and fewer reactive spirals
Greater ease in relationships and during conflict
The ability to slow down without guilt or collapse
A growing sense of steadiness, self-trust, and internal spaciousness
Justine is in her advanced (third) year of professional Somatic Experiencing® training and integrates SE™ principles throughout her coaching work. She understands trauma and chronic stress not as flaws to fix, but as intelligent nervous system adaptations that can be gently renegotiated over time.
This work is deeply informed by over 17 years of lived and professional experience in recovery, emotional mastery, and trauma-informed coaching. Justine is a former faculty member at the Institute for Coaching Mastery, where she mentored coaches in somatic integration, unconscious patterning, and sustainable personal and professional growth.
Justine works virtually with clients across British Columbia, supporting those navigating trauma, burnout, chronic stress, relational patterns, and the feeling of being “almost there” but unable to stay grounded, regulated, or connected when it matters most.
In addition to her client work, Justine serves as the Strategic Operations Manager at Amethyst Therapy Inc., supporting the clinic’s systems and practitioners behind the scenes.
If you’ve done the inner work but still find yourself pulled back into old survival patterns, this work offers a different path—one that helps your body learn safety, not just your mind understand it.
Justine currently offers virtual Somatic Experiencing®–informed sessions across BC.
