A Safe Place to Land.
A Path Forward 

 

Hello, I’m Holli Howard, a trauma-informed life coach, gentle guide, and founder of Positive Living Coaching. 

With over a decade in child welfare and seven years of coaching experience, I’ve spent much of my career walking alongside people as they uncover how their early experiences have quietly shaped how they see themselves, how they love, and how they move through the world. 

Some of those experiences are what we might call “big” traumas. Others are subtle; the moments of criticism, disconnection, or absence that teach us to question our worth or silence our voice. We don’t always recognize them as trauma, yet their impact runs deep. 

That understanding, both personal and professional, is what fuels my work today. 

“There is nothing that needs ‘fixing’. You just need a safe space to remember who you already are.”   ~ Holli Howard 

My Journey 


I know what it’s like to carry the invisible weight of the past. 

Years ago, I uncovered parts of my own story that I hadn’t realized were shaping how I saw myself. 

That awareness changed everything. 

It helped me see that healing isn’t about revisiting every memory. It’s about understanding how those early experiences created the beliefs and habits that still echo in our adult lives. 

And once we have that awareness, we have the power to choose differently and to reconnect with who we truly are beneath the learned patterns, self-protection, and stories that once kept us safe. 

That’s what I help my clients do. 

 

How I Work 


My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply compassionate.

It’s informed by my professional background, my personal journey, and my commitment to emotional safety in every conversation.

I don’t approach this work as an expert who stands above, but as someone who understands what it feels like from the inside.

Because of that, I lead with empathy and curiosity.

I listen for the patterns beneath the pain, and together we explore gentle, practical ways to:

  • Build emotional safety from the inside out
  • Recognize and shift self-limiting beliefs
  • Strengthen self-worth and inner calm
  • Reconnect with your authentic self

Here, you’re met with understanding, steadiness, and a path toward peace that honors exactly where you are.

The Heart of Positive Living Coaching

At Positive Living Coaching, I believe that healing is more than coping. It’s about finding peace within yourself and returning to who you were before the world taught you to doubt your worth. This vision reflects the world I am helping to create through every conversation, every program, and every ripple of growth that begins with one woman choosing to heal.

My Vivid Vision

Every woman who rediscovers her calm, her confidence, and her worth becomes a ripple of change, shaping homes, relationships, and communities with greater understanding, empathy, and love. 

When one person heals, that healing quietly reaches others, and the ripple continues.

At Positive Living Coaching, healing begins with awareness and compassion. Women learn to recognize the stories they’ve carried, meet themselves with gentleness, and reclaim the parts of them that were lost in survival. As they rebuild self-worth and emotional safety, they begin to live from authenticity, responding to life with grounded resilience, conscious joy, and peaceful confidence.

Imagine a life where challenges are met with calm, clarity, and a deeper connection to the good that is already around us.

My vision is to help create a world where every person feels safe, seen, and valued because healing has become a way of life, and the patterns that once caused pain no longer define what comes next.

Emotional awareness and compassion become the foundation of how we live, lead, and love.

Healing ourselves is one of the greatest acts of love we can offer for our own well-being, our relationships, and the generations that follow.

This is the movement of Positive Living: healing deeply, living positively, and leading with love.

You don’t have to do this alone. 

 

If you’ve carried the weight of your past for too long,
maybe this is your moment to begin gently setting it down. 

 

You deserve to feel at peace in your mind, safe in your body, and confident in your worth. 

 

If that resonates, I’d love to walk alongside you as you begin that next chapter.
