Meet Janine, a passionate advocate for women’s wellness and the founder of J Nine, a transformative and unique platform dedicated to supporting women in the workplace and at home. Originally from the UK, Janine relocated to Australia in 2010 with her son, and after spending 12 years in Sydney, she now enjoys life near the beach in Queensland. Her journey has been shaped by both personal experiences and a commitment to empowering women both local and international.

A mother to a son in his twenties, Janine understands the challenges and joys of motherhood as a fully single parent (no financial help or spousal help), including the emotional transition of empty nesting, which has profoundly influenced her work. After a successful career in recruitment of 24 years, Janine realised in 2021 that she wanted to redirect her focus toward something more impactful, leading to the launch of J Nine. Her personal history with endometriosis, diagnosed at 18, has fueled her dedication to creating a supportive community where women can share their struggles and find solace in knowing they are not alone.

Janine’s open and authentic nature allows her to connect with women on a deeper level. Her own journey of pain into purpose has equipped her with a wealth of insights and tools that she now shares through one-on-one coaching and her Wellology workplace programs. She believes in fostering a dialogue about the challenges women face, especially surrounding menstrual health and the often-overlooked aspects of perimenopause and the unspoken feelings and experience of loneliness.
