Coach's Corner

A Nurse. A Coach. A Guide Who Gets It.

Meet Jessica Justus, RN, EMT-P, CPT
Founder of Running Rx | Coach. Nurse. Runner.

Hi, I’m Jessica, but call me JJ! I am mom of two boys, an emergency department nurse and paramedic, and a lifelong runner who’s been hitting the pavement since I was 14. I’ve completed multiple 50Ks, a 50-mile ultramarathon, and I’m currently training for my first 100-miler. But more than the medals or finish lines, running has been my lifeline—my therapy, my clarity, and my comeback.

With over 13 years in emergency medicine and two decades in healthcare, I’ve seen what trauma, stress, and burnout can do to the body and soul. I’ve also seen—firsthand—how running, meditation, and mindful movement can rebuild us from the inside out.

That’s why I created RunRx: a space where fitness meets healing. I believe in a whole-self approach—one that cares for your body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're just starting out or coming back from something heavy, I’m here to help you find strength, purpose, and peace through movement.

Let’s take that first step together. You don’t have to do this alone.

You’re not hiring a trainer. You’re finding a teammate.
