Katie Maloney
Katie Maloney is changing the way we talk about trauma healing. As a speaker and author of “Cake Pops and Coffee: A New Conversation About Trauma,” Katie’s mission to expand conversations about trauma healing to include more lightheartedness and even humor. Survivors’ stories include far more than just trauma. Survivors have beautiful, lighthearted, meaningful, funny, and significant moments every day, and they deserve trauma healing conversations that reflect that.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
When I first started working through the 18 years of childhood sexual abuse I experienced, I looked to books for guidance. But all I could find were psychology books that felt too clinical or heavily titled self help books that felt overwhelming and depressing. And all of the healing resources available only focused on the trauma. I wanted a book that felt like I was having a conversation with my best friend and focused on moving forward after the trauma. I wanted to know how to feel comfortable holding my partner's hand. I wanted to figure out why I was being triggered by certain songs or smells, or places, and I wanted to learn how to lovingly work through those triggers. And I wanted to learn how to reparent myself and heal the little girl part of myself who felt unsafe. So, I wrote the book I always needed. In my book, I talk about all the aspects of healing from trauma that no one was talking about when I started my healing journey. And I do so in a way that includes lightheartedness and even humor because we, as survivors, deserve a joyful healing experience.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I believe that my success as an author, speaker and trauma healing coach is based in my willingness to talk about the aspects of healing from sexual trauma that so many survivors want to discuss but are too shy or embarrassed or ashamed to ask about. For example, I spend an entire chapter in my book talking about self-pleasure because learning to experience safe touch and pleasure was one of the most challenging milestones in my healing journey. And I know that it's a topic that an incredible amount of survivors want support in but don't know who to ask to get started. I always say that I am committed to oversharing so that other survivors don't have to feel so alone in their experiences.
Rhyan Howe
While I was growing up, I was the girl who was shy to most, outgoing to some, and funny to almost everyone. I thought I was a normal, everyday kid, but once I got older, I realized a lot of my behaviors were from the trauma that I had experienced as a child.
Once I came to terms with these revelations, I decided to go to college to get two Bachelor's of Science degrees in Psychology and Exercise Science because I was fascinated with learning about the human body, and soon after that, I went on to become a Certified Professional Life Coach. I am also in the process of obtaining my Masters of Science degree in Clinical Psychology.
