DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE LOST YOURSELF TO YOUR BUSINESS? 

 

Are you feeling constantly fatigued, physically worn down, and financially stuck in your coaching business? Wondering if you need to get a job to supplement your income? You’re not alone.

Many coaches find themselves earning less than they should, trading their health and well-being just to survive.

While you might think that what you need are new marketing tactics or a higher number of clients, what I see with coaches is that:

The real issue is often a deeper, foundational misalignment with your inner wisdom.

Too often coaches try to do things another coach’s way. They are sold gimmicky strategies that work for a small percentage, but not for the broader spectrum of coaches.


This is why our program teaches you to come home to yourself, to your soul, to your business, so that you can do things your way.
And while honing in on your intuition is key,
Embracing a trauma-informed skillset will also lead to the transformation you’ve been seeking.

ARE YOU A COACH WHO IS AFRAID TO TALK TRAUMA ON YOUR CALLS?

 

As a coach, you may feel inclined to avoid any talk of "trauma" with your clients, but what is the energy behind this behavior coming from? Love? Safety? Fear? Something else?

Here's the thing: Even if you wanted to hand-pick clients who don't carry trauma, I don't think that is possible.

Trauma is woven into our human experience.

But, it doesn't have to be the unspoken barrier between you and your clients' breakthroughs. Understanding trauma, both in the nervous system and in the energetic body, allows you to serve from a more grounded, heart-centered place.

Also, the more we can normalize that word, the less you'll get triggered on your calls. I can help you with this. 

This program will not only help you become more confident in addressing trauma with your clients, but it will also equip you with spiritual tools to support deep, soul-level healing. 

The Spiritual Dimensions of Trauma and Coaching.

Have you ever noticed these thought creeping into your coaching sessions?

→ Can I use the word 'trauma' without scaring my client? 

→ Why aren't we seeing results? What is preventing their progress? I'm not sure what else to try. 

→ Why are they so attached to that thought or story? 

→ Where is the line between coaching and therapy, and how do I know when to refer them out? 

→ What do I do if they get incredibly emotional during a coaching session? 

These are all valid concerns. Trauma often holds energetic imprints, affecting how your clients show up. By aligning your trauma-informed coaching with spiritual principles, you'll have the skills necessary to understand the subtle, soul-level dynamics in your clients and know how to guide them gently through transformation. You'll also be more dialed into your intuition, so that you can coach from that powerful intuitive space without questioning yourself before, during, and after sessions.

If you are afraid to say, approach, or even touch on the word “trauma,” this program is for you.

 

How This Could Be Impacting Your Coaching Practice:

→ You aren't saying what your client needs to hear because you are afraid of triggering something.

→ They could be coming off as aloof, annoyed, difficult, or inconsistent on calls. You may not see why, while they may be feeling misunderstood or unheard. They could also be experiencing a trauma response without you knowing. 

→ You find yourself bending over backwards to 'please' them or help them, to no avail. You come away from calls energetically depleted. Or, you question yourself so much after sessions that you deplete yourself. 

→ They're not making progress and keep circling around the exact same issue and you're left questioning your one-dimensional coaching education. 

→ Your client isn't opening up on calls. 

This may indicate trauma imprints or spiritual dissonance that can be addressed with the right tools and understanding. 

Strengthen your skills.

The wait is over.

Imagine Feeling:

 

→ Confident in your ability to coach anyone on anything because of your connection to your intuitive gifts, along with your newfound knowledge and understanding of trauma. You will have the necessary skills to be able to hold sacred, trauma-informed space during calls even if your client has a trauma response. 

→ Aligned with your mind, body, and soul as you bring your spiritual wisdom and energetic awareness into your coaching calls.

→ Incredibly comfortable doing your own deep processing, which will in turn make you better able to help your clients with their own connection. This Matters.

→ Gratitude for the depth of knowledge you now hold, seeing trauma as a sacred opportunity for healing, growth, and transformation. Also for the skillset acquired to understand human body and its ability to heal.

→ Empowered with your deepened intuitive connection, knowing you can help clients clear any blocks keeping them from accessing their own intuitive genius. 

→ Self-assured in how you can support your clients in their healing from trauma.

 → Decisive and capable of having your own back; and a grounded calm knowing when it makes sense to reach out for your own support.

→ More ease in your coaching, because you no longer have difficult clients. You know  when it makes perfect sense to work with them, and you know when it's best to refer out. 

→ In awe of the longer lasting relationships you now have with clients because you are seeing them in a way that they have perhaps never been seen.   

→ A deeper, more all-encompassing awareness for yourself as a human, and what that gets to mean for your clients.

Lindsay Poelman

 

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. I had just had my third child when he told me. 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. 

Over the last six years of deep dive/fundamental coaching for women in betrayal (around porn use, spouses coming out around gender identity and sexuality, childhood neglect and abuse, substance abuse, infidelity, emotional abuse, domestic violence, institutional trauma, and more.), I have observed that if you’re working with humans, you can’t handpick clients who don’t carry trauma. 

This is why I have developed a signature Trauma-Informed mindset framework that takes into account the nuance of being a human.  

 

Understanding the connections between trauma, the nervous system, our body, and our intuitive wisdom is Essential.

 

Because you can't handpick clients with 0 trauma, understanding trauma is essential to creating a healing and growth environment for your clientele. It is a basic need for every human to receive care from professionals who are trauma-informed. 

I believe wholeheartedly that there is so much WE CAN DO to support people who may be experiencing trauma. There is a responsible way to do this, and I cannot wait to show it to you in my program.  

We must understand the nervous system’s role in trauma, including how it influences brain circuitry and neuroplasticity. This knowledge helps us build a resilient and adaptive response to stressors, enabling more effective trauma processing. Through this framework, we can deepen our connection with intuitive insights, as improved nervous system regulation enhances access to higher cognitive functions and emotional intelligence. Strengthening these neural pathways allows you to integrate intuition more effectively into coaching sessions and business decisions, leading from a grounded, soul-driven space.

This is why I bring various colleagues and experts on board as well to teach and share their brilliance as well. This will happen during workshops, with pre-recorded videos, and during the program on an as-needed basis. Me, and the experts I bring in, see the value of the hybrid work that some view as coaching, some view as therapy, we see as both.

Kathy Kinghorn

LCSW, CSAT Supervisor

 

Through Kathy’s 14 years of experience as a therapist, she saw the need for all humans to have witnesses to their stories—for everyone to have a safe place to learn how to heal from life’s challenges. This eventually led her to work with healing clients from physical addictions and betrayal trauma. Now, an expert in her field, she spends most of her time training other therapists. A constant learner, she avidly studies and integrates advances with neuroscience to develop her understanding of the human brain.

The arena of her focus brings up complex relational issues, including relational wounds for addicts, and for those betrayed. Setting up a healing environment for people to heal themselves and repair relationships requires experience, intuition, and willingness to learn.

Lindsay and Kathy see the power of coach and therapist collaboration and know that creating a bridge to support individuals healing from relationship trauma can change the entire trajectory of a client’s healing process. We recognize the importance and beauty of coaches and therapists understanding their roles—what they can do—in supporting clients with trauma.

This program provides pre-recorded modules and calls that Kathy has recorded that include attachment trauma, developmental trauma, Internal Family Systems, and more. 

What you need to know about trauma:

As relational beings, almost everything we experience in life is tied to relationships—whether with others or ourselves. Many mistakenly believe that trauma only stems from major life events, those "Big T" traumas from childhood or significant moments in adulthood. However, trauma is far more nuanced. My mission is to help you understand the differences between Big and Little Traumas and how they both deeply affect our lives.

Both types of trauma matter. Little T traumas, often subtle and complex, frequently occur within relationships, adding layers of difficulty to the healing process. Helping clients navigate this means creating space for holding these relational nuances while supporting them in self-validation.

To truly support your clients, you must become trauma-informed, nervous system-informed, and embrace your intuitive wisdom. This program goes beyond understanding trauma by integrating spiritual practices and intuitive wisdom into your coaching process. Trauma affects the nervous system, which in turn impacts our capacity to connect with our deeper selves and intuition. By learning to work with the nervous system and accessing intuitive insight, you’ll guide clients from a place of authentic, soul-led leadership. This combination allows you to help them tap into profound healing in ways traditional coaching methods may overlook.

The power of spiritual practices and intuitive wisdom lies in their ability to help both you and your clients find deeper alignment with your inner selves. When combined with trauma and nervous system understanding, these practices provide a holistic foundation that fosters genuine healing and long-term transformation, far beyond surface-level solutions.

By the end of this certification, you’ll be equipped not only with trauma-informed skills but also with the spiritual and intuitive tools needed to deeply empower your clients—helping them heal and thrive within their relationships and beyond.

What if you have Trauma?

 

This isn’t a problem. Most, if not all of us, are carrying trauma because we’re human. During the program you’ll have the option to bring your “ONE BIG R” (relationship) to the table to heal from. Every teaching call we have will include application questions and ideas for you to consider as you navigate your “ONE BIG R.”

You’ll have me, yourself, and a team of other loving coaches to support you here. Your “ONE BIG R” doesn’t have to feel ‘traumatic’ in order for you to bring it to the table. The tools we teach will make a difference either way. 

Psst! Your “ONE BIG R” doesn’t have to be another human.

It can be about anything you have a ‘sticky’ relationship with: People, Money, Religious Institutions, Organizations, Specific Experiences, Yourself, etc.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are in a space where you  consider yourself to be non-functioning, this program may not be for you, yet. Sometimes it can still be a fit if you are getting outside, 1:1 conjunctive support from a specialized therapist and/or doctor. If you aren't sure what this means, you can book an assessment call with me here for more clarity. 

As a coach, I will show you:

 

→ How much you CAN do to serve clients experiencing trauma.

→ How to avoid nervous system overrides--which are all to common in the coaching industry today.

→ How to do deep processing work with your clients.

→ How to create an environment of safety that allows for all healing.

→ How to use your own intuition to guide you, knowing when to use the model with your clients, or when to go a different route.

→ How to teach your client to more deeply trust their intuition to accelerate their healing.

After the program:

 

→ You will be trauma-informed. You will trust yourself more than you ever have as a coach. You will be more confident in your coaching, your message, your unique gifts as a coach to offer this world.

→ You will be more connected to yourself and in-tune with your client needs.

→ You'll now have a SAFE community of like-minded coaches with similar visions as you.

→ You will receive a certificate with a logo for you to add to your coaching materials.

→ You will retain LIFETIME access to the teaching videos that are continually added to and updated.

→ You’ll walk away with an easy-reference workbook to use in your program with your clientele. We are constantly learning more and more about the brain, which means when our workbook updates, so will yours.

"Unleash your deepest gifts and move forward to create the coaching practice of your dreams."
