FIRST LADY JANICE TOMLINSON
After years of functioning in what Janice called a cocoon state, acknowledging she had gifts and potentials but not knowing how to cultivate them, the miracle happened in her life. She was able to connect with a group of people who coached her out of that cocoon state and gave her wings to fly despite various obstacles in her life.
The desire to help others was birthed in her spirit as she recognized and adhere to the God given motivation to help others evolve out of their situation. The paradigm shift started after obtaining a Social Service Worker diploma from Sheridan College , then furthering her studies and obtaining her degree in psychology from the prestigious Tyndale University College & Seminary.
The launch of Emerge Life Coaching was developed as a vehicle to motivate and empower lives towards success. Although Janice has her fair share of challenges raising an autistic son, she still manages to be involved in the community where she lives and has fostered children for over 20 years with the Children's Aid Society.
Janice is a loving wife and a wonderful mother to her kids. Being married for over 25 years, she describes her relationship as dynamic, fulfilling and shares a love that's alive. Janice works alongside her husband Pastor DeVon at Hope Christian Ministries, a church they both started together.
