The Fluent Human Method™ by Lindsay Poelman
The professional education
nobody gave you.
Finally. All in one place.
Nervous system. Trauma. Intuition. Body wisdom. The training that turns your gifts into a career . . . and turns a good coach into an extraordinary one.
Where do you want to start?
Before you go
Things people ask
right before they say yes.
Which program is right for me?
If you're new to coaching or just starting to build your practice, The Fluent Human Certification™ is your starting point. It gives you the full foundation, the credential, and the live support to get there.
If you're already coaching and you've sensed something is missing in how you hold space for clients, The Fluent Human Method™: Advanced Certification is where you go deeper. Both programs share the same Kajabi portal and the same core framework. The Advanced Cert builds on it with more intensive application, extended call time, and a niche-specific credential.
Is this certification ICF-accredited?
Not currently, and it's something Lindsay is actively evaluating. ICF accreditation adds real value in corporate coaching contexts where organizations need a standardized credential to vet candidates. Most students here are coming to trauma-informed work through their own healing, referrals, and results, not searching for an acronym. The priority has been building the most integrated, expansive curriculum possible, nervous system, trauma, intuition, and the soul, all connected, rather than shaping the program around one accrediting body's framework first. If that changes, you'll hear about it here.
Do I need any prior experience or training?
No. The certification is designed to meet you where you are. If you want to explore the framework before committing, The Fluent Human Course™ is a great starting point — and it applies toward the cert if you upgrade later.
How long does it take to get certified?
Most students certify within 6-8 months of starting the program. Some finish as early as 5. You move at your own pace through the self-paced curriculum, then join the live semesters when you're ready. There's no hard deadline.
What if I've already done other coach training?
Good. This will fill in what was missing. The most common thing students with prior training say after going through this: "This is the piece I didn't know I needed." Trauma education and nervous system awareness aren't typically included in foundational coaching certifications. This is what makes everything else work better.
Is this certification legitimate, or is it a certificate mill?
This isn't a pay-and-get-a-certificate program. Certification requires an open-book exam and submitted recorded coaching sessions reviewed personally by Lindsay or a trained Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, plus supervised peer coaching before you certify. If you want a fast badge, this isn't that. If you want a framework you'll actually use with real clients, backed by practice and feedback, that's what it's built for.
How is this different from therapy?
This is education and coaching, not therapy. You'll learn to understand how trauma and the nervous system work, how to hold space for clients experiencing these things, and exactly when to refer a client to a licensed therapist instead of trying to handle it yourself, that line isn't a limitation, it's what makes you a safer, more ethical coach. Many students find this work complements therapy beautifully. It doesn't replace it.
Will this help me build financial stability as a coach?
This certification gives you a real coaching business framework, not just a stack of videos. How much you earn depends on how consistently you show up, working with clients, marketing yourself, staying in it long enough to build momentum. Some students move into paid coaching quickly. Others take longer, life happens, priorities shift, and that's normal too. What this program is built to protect against is the version where becoming certified costs you your bank account, your energy, or your relationships along the way. That's the actual win: freedom, not burnout.
What are the payment options?
Best value is $2,997 paid in full. Payment plans are available at checkout: $1,250 today then 2 payments of $1,000, or 4 payments of $862. All options give you immediate access to the full program.
Can I talk to someone before I decide?
Yes. Book a call with Lindsay at LindsayPoelman.as.me/fluenthuman. No pressure. Just a real conversation about whether this is the right fit for you right now.
The Fluent Human Method™
Something brought you here.
That's not an accident.
Maybe it was a story. A session that didn't go the way you hoped.
A knowing that you're meant to do this work, and a feeling that you haven't quite found
the training that matches the depth of what you carry.
This is it. The education nobody gave you.
The credential that's actually yours.
The community that gets it.
Every Human, Trauma-Informed. That starts with you.

The Fluent Human Method™: Advanced Certification
Already coaching?
This is where you become
the coach other coaches call.
You've been coaching for a while. You're good at it.
But you've felt it . . . those sessions where something bigger showed up
than your training prepared you for. Where you sensed something was missing,
not with your clients, but with what you'd been given to work with.
Here's what's been missing: bringing everything online.
Body. Soul. Psyche. Nervous system. Brain.
The Fluent Human Method™ teaches you to do that for yourself first,
so you can do it for your clients. When all of you is online,
your coaching changes. Your presence changes. Your results change.
And your business? That can be your One Big R too.
- You're already coaching. You want to understand trauma and the nervous system at a level most coaches never reach.
- You've had sessions where a client hit something big and you weren't sure how to hold it. You want to be the coach who knows.
- You want to stop second-guessing yourself in session and start trusting your instincts, with the skills to back them up.
- You're ready to go so deep into your own work that it becomes your greatest professional asset.
- You want a niche credential that actually reflects the work you do. Not a generic title.
Your credential. Your niche.
Graduate with a title that's yours.
Unlike generic certifications, your credential is specific to the work you do, as long as it's rooted in what's taught in the program. Here's what that can look like:
These are examples. Your credential is tailored to your niche, within the scope of what's taught in the program.
What makes this different
Extra 30 Min on Every Call
Advanced students get extended call time. 30 additional minutes after each debrief to go deep on your specific projects, client cases, and the real things keeping you up at night as a coach. On-demand. Real-time.
Trauma + Intuition + Spiritual Depth
This isn't just trauma education. It's the integration of trauma, nervous system science, and spiritual/intuitive practices. You'll learn to coach from that grounded, soul-led place that most programs never touch.
Expert Eyes on Your Coaching
Submit recorded sessions and receive real feedback from Lindsay or one of her personally-trained coaches. Not generic. Specific to how you coach, your language, your nervous system tracking, and where you're already brilliant.
Your Business as Your One Big R
This program doesn't just make you a better coach. It brings all of you online. Your stickiest relationship doesn't have to be a person. It can be your business, your money, your visibility. You'll do that work here, alongside your clients'.

"I started coaching with Lindsay because her calm, loving manner drew me in. She is very wise, but never preachy about her wisdom. She puts the client in the seat as the expert in their own lives. She has helped me unlock such deep hurts, and let them go. I love her."
Andrea Giles

A little more about Lindsay:
My journey of intentional healing started when I learned that my husband had been lying to me about pornography use for a greater part of our marriage. When he told me, I had just had my third child. With what I had been taught to think about pornography, what it does to families, this was devastating and traumatic. Within a week, my husband stopped working as a dentist due to panic attacks, debilitating anxiety, and depression that suddenly came to a head. He had become non-functioning in a matter of days. What ensued from there was both of us courageously (and humanly) seeking out the best professional help we could find. While I was recovering from my own betrayal trauma; I was learning to support a spouse with suicidal thoughts, paralyzing shame, trauma around childhood sexual abuse, and his own PTSD due to betrayal.
After processing and accepting my circumstance more fully, I found coaching—which propelled me into a forward-focused state of empowerment. At the time there weren’t a lot of resources for people like me (and I would have killed to have a guide like me), so I became a coach.
I wanted to provide the healing tools to those so they wouldn't have to suffer unnecessarily. This work evolved, evolved, and evolved into me finally putting together an Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification with a trauma therapist. What I'm seeing now is the need for people's mindset training to be trauma-informed from the start. So that they don't have to unwind and unlearn mindset tools anymore. We want to have a supportive foundational trauma-informed approach to mindset training so that everything else can build upon that.
This is why I feel so compelled to train coaches, so they don't have to re-train themselves after paying money for certifications where the basic mindset tools taught simply aren't enough. Where the tools taught are done so with inclusive qualifiers, where individuation is normalized, and safety is paramount. This is the environment that needs to be present for people to learn, for people to heal--and I am thrilled to be able to provide a training to support you in developing your unique craft of coaching.
As the world continues to evolve, people need more than basic mindset to get the results they want. People need new approaches to heal and break generational chains. This program is one of many bridges into a new world of coaching. A new way of existing. More love, more peace, more feeling, more "aliveness," more healing, more Being, more connecting, more soul-led living, and more.
