Hi, I am Janice
Life & Parenting Coach | Nurtured Heart Approach® Trainer
I guide parents, educators, and organizations step-by-step to break harmful cycles and create environments where children—and families—truly thrive.
My Story
I'm a wife to an incredible husband, a mom to two amazing sons, and the founder of Taylor-ing Your Life. If you'd asked me fifteen years ago where I'd be today, I honestly wouldn't have believed you.
Because back then, I was struggling.
The Breaking Point
Depression hit me during every major life transition—pursuing my degree, getting married, raising children with learning differences, changing careers. Each time, I felt like I was failing. Why couldn't I just figure this out? Why was everything so hard?
I was desperate to give my children a better future, to help them succeed academically and emotionally. But how could I do that when I could barely get through my own days?
Here's what I discovered: I wasn't broken. I was trying to navigate complex challenges without the right tools, support, or understanding of how to break the patterns that were holding me back.
The Turning Point
When I finally found evidence-based programs that helped me let go of limiting beliefs, discover my identity and purpose, and understand my strengths, everything changed.
Not just for me—for my entire family.
My children became empowered to make choices that led to academic success. My husband and I grew stronger as partners in raising our family. Friends and family members started taking steps toward improving their own quality of life.
That's when I knew: this was my calling.
The Commitment
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology - Life Coaching from Liberty University, became a certified Nurtured Heart Approach® trainer, and trained with the Jai Institute as a parenting coach.
For the past six years, I've dedicated myself to helping others experience the same transformation I did. I work with parents feeling overwhelmed, educators managing challenging behaviors, and organizations wanting to support families in their communities.
My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and rooted in restorative practices that transform intense behaviors into positive outcomes. But more than that, it's rooted in empathy—because I've been where you are.
I'm a problem-solver at heart who genuinely believes that everyone has the capacity for meaningful change. Whether you're struggling personally, navigating your child's challenges, or leading an organization, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you break the cycles that are holding you back.
My Mission
Breaking harmful generational cycles by partnering with families, educators, and organizations to create safe, connected environments where all children thrive—emotionally, socially, and academically.
When I'm Not Coaching...
You'll find me outdoors with my loved ones—at the beach, on a hiking trail, or exploring new places. I'm passionate about adventure, problem-solving, and creating memories with my family. These moments remind me why this work matters: life is meant to be lived fully, and every family deserves the tools to thrive together.
