About Janna Taylor

Though Janna’s cultural background is Dutch, she was born in the tropics, in what was then Netherlands New Guinea and is now West Papua. She lived in various parts of the world before her family came to Australia when she was 10. After leaving school, Janna worked in the sciences and has relevant qualifications as a biological laboratory technician. When one of her three children was diagnosed with leukaemia at age five, Janna gained a deeper understanding of grief and loss, and what it is to be a carer. She learned how grief and loss are constant companions on our life journeys, not only in death, but also in the smaller losses we face on a daily basis. She went on to study theology with the intention of joining the clergy, however she found contentment working with people with intellectual disabilities and in the aged care sector. She started her business, Inner Gold Healing, and uses her gifts to facilitate healing sessions and mentor aged care workers.
