After more than 27 years in Corporate America, the founder of Tailored Notions 4 Life, LLC made a life-changing shift to the nonprofit world, working with homeless women and children. As an education coordinator, she focused on topics like trauma, grief, and anger, recognizing the deeply personal nature of healing.
Her journey began much earlier, with a passion for sewing that led to a career in fashion and tailoring—an experience that later inspired her approach to mental and emotional well-being: that, like clothing, healing requires a custom fit.
In 2023, a confrontation with her own unresolved trauma sparked a renewed sense of purpose. By 2024, Tailored Notions 4 Life was officially launched to offer a safe, supportive space for individuals facing emotional challenges, rooted in empathy, experience, and a belief in personalized healing. A space born from experience, faith, and a fierce determination to be a beacon of hope.
Dr. Joyce is quoted saying "Our holistic approach—mind, body, and spirit—combines evidence-based practices with the power of compassionate, individualized care. Just like a tailor takes raw fabric, makes adjustments, and creates a perfectly fitted garment, addressing anger, trauma, and grief with the right tools and patience leads to a "custom-fitted" emotional and mental state. This outcome is one of resilience, self-acceptance, and balance, where the individual wears their healing journey as a unique, tailored piece—stronger, refined, and more aligned with their true self. In essence, the custom-fitted outcome is a life transformed, where the rough edges and tears are mended, and the fabric of one’s mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being is restored, enabling one to move forward in life with greater harmony. We hope for the future as we grow, to see a world where mental health care is as personal as a Custom-made garment, fitted perfectly to each individual’s life. We believe in empowering people not just to survive but to thrive, with resilience sewn into every seam of their story.
