The Evolution of Me
My name is Justine Santowiak, though some of you may also know me as Justine Whitchurch.
After the dissolution of my marriage, I felt a deep pull to return to my birth name. It wasnât just a nameâit was the identity of the young girl who once dreamed of everything Iâve built today. There was unfinished business, and I knew I had to reclaim the version of myself who first believed in it all.
One of the greatest gifts sobriety has given me is the confidence to embrace change without fear. I no longer stay stuck in a life that doesnât fit. Instead, I move forward with clarity, purpose, and the courage to evolve.
At 51, I know for certainâyou are never too old, and it is never too late.
The Transformation
Health, fitness, and the continuous work around the selfsâself-confidence, self-belief, self-worth, and self-disciplineâbecame my foundation. And I realized something powerful:
All of it begins with self-love.
When you love yourself enough, you make choices that align with your best life. You step into your full potential. You stop settling for anything that dulls your light.
Sobriety is not about giving something upâitâs about gaining everything.

"I had been following Justine on social media for months before reaching out in early 2020, knowing my life needed to change as I felt unhealthy and often woke up hungover. After a phone chat, we began a journey of transformation where I discovered I could do tough things for myself, gaining confidence and breaking free from alcoholâs control. Iâve been alcohol-free for over four years now, using exercise for my mental and physical health, and I donât miss alcohol at all.

"I first connected with Justine in 2018 after seeing her online training through a friendâs social media, wanting to reduce my alcohol consumption. Since then, Iâve continued with personal training, attended her first Gold Coast retreat in 2019, and havenât had alcohol since December 3, 2022. The top three benefits of working with Justine are finding the confidence within myself that alcohol had masked, learning to push through hard times by ignoring the noise in my head, and meeting incredible people whoâve become lifelong friends.
