Justina Vail Evans (née Vail, previously credited as Justina Vail) (born 20 August 1963) is a British

hypnotherapist.[1]

Early life

Vail Evans was born in

Beechwood Sacred Heart School and the Kent Institute of Art & Design (formerly Canterbury College of Art) to study fine art. She acquired her first acting role in Hong Kong where a British television show was filming.[2]

Career

Vail Evans is co-owner and Director of Training at Envision Coach Training, an executive coach training program accredited by the

International Coach Federation (ICF).[3] She is an ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) and provides life coaching, executive coaching, hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) in her private practice.[4]

Vail Evans retired as an actor in 2001 in order to pursue her current career. Her most notable acting role was as a

Saturn Award for best supporting actress, winning out over Stargate SG-1's Amanda Tapping.[6] In 2001, however, there were reports of dissatisfaction on set. Co-star Don Franklin expressed his dissatisfaction with the show,[7] and Vail was reported to have left the show entirely[8] (according to some show sources over a dispute with Seven Days co-star Jonathan LaPaglia[9]), only to later return and finish the third season.[7]

She also appeared in The X-Files as the Unholy Spirit.

Vail Evans also guest-starred in an episode of Highlander: The Series. The episode (along with several others like it) were attempts to pilot female immortal leads for the short-lived Highlander: The Raven. Reviews of the episode were mixed, offering criticism of Vail's character but not her performance. Ultimately, Vail's character was not the one chosen for the new show.[10]

Personal life

Vail Evans is married to Dr. Jeff Evans, author and CEO of Envision Global Leadership.[11] Vail Evans is also an author. She has been a recurring columnist for Backstage magazine,[12] and in 2012 she published her book How to be a Happy Actor in a Challenging Business: A Guide to Thriving Through it All.[13] It was awarded the top prize of the "How To" category for the 2012 Hollywood Book Festival.[14]
