What Is a Trauma-Informed Christian Life Coach and Why It Matters for Your Healing

I’m Latonya Howell, and I didn’t choose this work. This work chose me.

I didn’t grow up thinking I’d be a life coach. I grew up just trying to survive.

From foster care to betrayal, from deep loss to healing, I’ve lived through more trauma than I ever imagined. And for a long time, I thought survival was the best I could hope for.

But then I realized something, God didn’t call me to just survive. He called me to rise.

That’s what I help women do now.

What It Means to Be Trauma-Informed

Being trauma-informed isn’t just a trendy phrase. It means I understand how trauma impacts your nervous system, your thought patterns, your ability to trust, and even your relationship with God.

It means I don’t tell you to “just pray about it” without also helping you process the pain.

It means I’m trained to spot the signs of emotional overwhelm, trauma triggers, and fight-or-flight reactions, and I help you navigate those moments with strategy and grace.

What It Means to Be a Christian Life Coach

I don’t separate faith from healing. I believe Jesus is the ultimate healer, and I’ve watched Him restore parts of my heart that therapy alone couldn’t reach.

Being a Christian life coach means I bring biblical truth into every conversation. It means I pray over you and with you. It means I listen for what God is saying, not just what your trauma is repeating.

I help you see yourself the way God sees you, whole, loved, worthy, and called.

Who I Work With

I work with women who are tired of faking fine.

Women who have experienced trauma, loss, betrayal, or breakdown, and are now ready to rebuild with intention and faith.

Through my coaching programs, I help you:

  • Heal emotional wounds without shame

  • Build confidence rooted in your identity in Christ

  • Reclaim your voice after years of silence

  • Create purpose-driven goals that honor your growth

This isn’t surface-level coaching. It’s deep, soul-centered transformation.

What to Expect When You Work With Me

When you coach with me, you can expect:

  • A safe, judgment-free space to be fully seen and heard

  • Practical tools that blend mindset work and scripture

  • A faith-filled journey that connects your pain to your purpose

We don’t skip over the hard stuff. We walk through it, together.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival. Healing is possible. And you're not alone.
