-
If your clients aren't following through on their commitments, if they aren't having the difficult conversations, if they aren't implementing actions & strategies...

"This program is a must on the path to become excellent and masterful as a coach."
I’ve been a full-time coach for 13 years now. Each year I have a constant drive to get better, go deeper and learn more about my clients.
The Sacred Depths Coaching Program gave me more tools to recognize my client’s fears and resistance, and to help them walk through them. I’ve become a better coach and gotten out of ruts that I didn’t even know I was in. The program has also supported me to go deeper into myself to fight my own resistance and procrastination. My clients now regularly rave about their sessions and send me emails afterwards saying how helpful they were. This program is a must on the path to become excellent and masterful as a coach.
— Monica Shah, Business Coach, CEO Revenue Breakthrough www.RevenueBreakthrough.com
"I have grown immeasurably from participating in the Sacred Depths Coaching course."
I am COMMITTED to training
High Level Practitioners
Those who approach their clients with integrity & advanced skills.
If we want to go beneath the surface of what is truly driving a client’s behaviors, actions and results...
We need to have the willingness, confidence, embodiment and skills to do so. You see, exceptional coaching isn’t just about helping someone feel good in the moment.
It’s the art of allowing your client to see her actions, thoughts and behaviors in the clearest light possible… and then expertly supporting her in creating change.
These days, every program and every entrepreneur looks like everyone else.
Very few practitioners STAND OUT for helping their clients create stellar results, more meaningful life and REAL CHANGE:
-
The marketplace is FLOODED with practitioners who haven't been appropriately trained
-
Many are having trouble with client retention, with client satisfaction, with client renewals
-
Practitioners are so focused on marketing that they’ve moved away from becoming masterful coaches & facilitators that revolutionize people’s lives
-
Very few people have learned how to effectively and expertly move clients through the very natural human tendencies of defense, denial, overwhelm and fear….or help them create visions that are actually aligned….or hold them accountable in ways that count
-
We don’t need more "wanna-be-preneurs" with better personal branding or fancier marketing…what we need is more kick-ass transformational coaches, healers and facilitators
By wading into The Sacred Depths of our clients' inner worlds…
We can create reliable and transformational results as a coach, healer, facilitator or transformational expert.
Sacred Depths is the potent blend of Evidence-Based Coaching Skills, Spiritual Wisdom, Human Nature Research, Neuroscience, Embodied Transformation Techniques, Shadow Excavation, Transcendental Visualization Tools, Ritual Secrets, & Energetics that you've been looking for.
LET'S GO DEEP
SURFACE LEVEL CONVERSATIONS, QUESTIONS AND SKILLS LEAD TO MEDIOCRE RESULTS...
Here is what most practitioners don't know when they start working with clients:
Humans are quite adept at telling others (and themselves) what they want to hear, and creating circumstances to avoid their own truth and evolution. Without the ability to see the unseen, hear the unheard, illuminate what lies in the darkness, and be motivated to change pattern…
Our clients will present with resistance, stuckness, confusion, procrastination and reversion to the status quo.
And we as practitioners, if we aren't properly trained, we become frustrated, doubting our ability, and feeling not so great.
The good news: we can do BETTER
I’ve dedicated the last 20 years of my life to MASTERY of transformational leadership, coaching and facilitation. Over the last 20 years I have led literally HUNDREDS of Retreats, workshops, rituals, classes and seminars. In that time I’ve led thousands of people in the United States and abroad in 1:1 coaching work and in groups. And I have been training coaches, therapists and facilitators for over a decade as well.
I am proud to share that my clients credit our work together as some of the most profound and life-defining work they have ever done.
They tell me that the experience I lead them through is of higher quality than anything else out there. They thank me for guiding them to achieve their most desired goals, and perhaps more importantly: to become more of whom they are meant to be.
My leadership has activated transformation for participants deeply and in very sacred ways, has yielded results that I would have never imagined, has generated more income for me through clients re-signing and telling their friends, and has left me feeling satisfied, connected to my brilliance, and knowing I am living out my sacred mission in the world.
“During Sacred Depths I sold my first two 6-month VIP programs for four figures with so much ease. And both clients have renewed.”
Being a part of Sacred Depths has changed me as a practitioner and a business woman from the inside out. During Sacred Depths, I became so much clearer on who I am as a practitioner and how I am truly meant to serve. The work with my clients has deepened, and I am now attracting people who are aligned with the deeply shamanic creativity coaching I offer. During Sacred Depths I also sold my first two 6-month VIP programs for four figures with so much ease. And both clients have renewed. I am so grateful for Joanna and the powerful community of practitioners she gathers in Sacred Depths.
— Elana Bell, www.elanabell.com
“I’m forever changed and deeply grateful.”
I’m so GRATEFUL for my Sacred Depth’s experience. Joanna is Masterful at generating a space where others experience themselves as seen, heard, and loved. Joanna’s commitment to generating mastery in others leads to an opportunity for others to experience themselves as extraordinary in the midst of living in their ordinary lives.
What a gift, to grant others tools and moments to change the world by first experiencing themself as a master of their own. As a result of Sacred Depths, I’ve generated close to $35,000 of additional income in the last 6 months. I’m forever changed and deeply grateful.

Not only that, but my clients and the students that I have trained also receive these ROCKSTAR results
My clients are coaches and therapists and yoga instructors and intuitives, and business mentors and transformational speakers and real estate agents and massage therapists and music teachers and sleep coaches and pilates instructors and beyond.
Some have just begun and others are very experienced practitioners over decades time. But here’s what they all have in common – through my mentorship….
My clients bring the house down in their 1:1 sessions, and at their retreats and workshops.
They have raving fans. They are known as the BEST at what they do.
My students are known as exceptional practitioners & wise mentors in their field. Their client rosters grow naturally because their reputations precede them. They worry less about their performance because they know how to handle any client situation with ease.
They thank me over and over for training them to become truly exceptional at human transformation.
I share all this with you not to impress you, but to impress upon you that becoming a truly transformational practitioner is not optional if you want to have a thriving, impactful business that you feel amazing about. There are certain skills and elements the practitioner must master to successfully create REAL shifts, healing and openings for participants.
In fact, I’ve learned the hard way that without these tools, things can go very, very wrong. Your work can fall flat, or your clients will become upset or frustrated with you, or you can do harm because of cultural insensitivity, or you will leave client sessions feeling exhausted and spent.
Most practitioners these days can fall into this trap because they have not been taught how to become masterful coaches. And you aren’t simply born with coaching mastery (even if you’re a “natural”) the only way to become an EXPERT is to learn how. Most practitioner trainings out there don’t teach the “secret sauce” to go from good or great to absolutely exceptional.
"I can't recommend this course enough!"
Sacred Depths Coaching has made me a better listener, more present to my clients and myself as a coach and helped me facilitate some amazing internal breakthroughs and transformations almost immediately. Joanna's Sacred Depths Coach Certification Program has helped me create the invaluable internal infrastructure for my coaching and group programs that was sorely missing. I take women entrepreneurs through the journey of getting visible by sharing their stories in talks, blogs and social media. While I could write their stories for them and share my own experiences of working through fears, I didn't have the tools to help my clients effectively do these things for themselves. So, I was consulting not coaching. I was creating polished stories for my clients but not helping them transform into healed and empowered storytellers in their businesses. I am doing that now thanks to this program. Sacred Depths has made me a better listener, more present to my clients and myself as a coach and helped me facilitate some amazing internal breakthroughs and transformations almost immediately. Joanna's work is a gift and business booster....and she is an ever generous, present and wise guide through the whole process. I can't recommend this course enough!
— Cara Jones, Story Breakthrough, www.cara-jones.com
"The work you're doing is deeply important. I recommend you and this course to anyone who wants to elevate their game by going deeper."
So much gratitude to you for modeling excellence, compassion and ritual, Joanna.
I've been coaching for 17 years, but was drawn to your program to find ways to go even deeper with my clients—beyond business strategy. As things like this go, I learned a lot about myself too.
The highlight of this program was attending the Shadow Retreat in March. Not only did I learn and practice new skills, it brought to light a shadow of my own in the process. One that had eluded me for decades! The work you're doing is deeply important. I recommend you and this course to anyone who wants to elevate their game by going deeper.
Thank you.

The potent sum of embodying the energetics of an empowering practitioner + advanced coaching techniques to create authentic & in-integrity success as a coach, healer, facilitator or transformational expert.
THE FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF
Being an Extraordinary Practitioner & Growing a Thriving Business
Through this paradigm-shifting, life and business changing journey, you will become an EXCEPTIONAL coach & facilitator of human transformation - as well as radically transform your relationship to yourself - by learning the 4 Foundations of Coaching Mastery
Deep Understanding of Human Nature & Client Behavior
In order to bring your coaching skills & techniques alive, you must understand the nuances of client behaviors, responses, and patterns intimately… understand how humans create protection mechanisms and projections and resistances and beyond. It is vital to have a deep understanding of fight/flight/freeze/fawn reactions and more. For practitioners, true understanding of Human Nature & Client Behavior is a game changer.
Sacred Depths is the only practitioner program that will extensively train you in the range of human tendencies, human responses, human archetypal behavior and human belief systems, as well as how patriarchal culture AND personal histories impact it all.
Masterful Coaching & Somatic Transformation Skills
You thoroughly learn the basic, advanced and Advanced-Advanced skills, techniques and tools that the most effective practitioners, coaches & teachers use to co-create radical and incredible change with their clients.
Even if your Coaching Skills are already phenomenal, Sacred Depths will take them to whole new level of mastery that will have your clients feeling like the work you do together is magic.
You master the skills - with potent nuance - through a combination of interactive training calls, practice sessions with feedback, and lots of modelling opportunities.
Personal Mastery, Energetics &
Co-Regulation
To be an exceptional practitioner who supports your clients towards real change, you must be solidly committed to your own inner work and embody the Energetics that actually encourage change. Plus, you can only take your clients as far as you have gone yourself. Period.
To go deeper with clients, and to help them regulate even in the face of fear, disappointment and the messiness of life, you must work through your own fears & Shadows, look at your own belief systems, challenge your own habits and patterns, and be aware of your own trauma responses.
The work we do together in this certification program will change YOU forever. You will come to know yourself in ways you never thought possible, and transform behaviors and patterns that have long stood in your way.

Business Mastery
Business Mastery is NOT about the latest & greatest “funnel fad" or the best ways to re-target your ads.
Instead, Business Mastery is about rock solid communication with those that are meant to work with you. It’s about effective & in-integrity sales conversations.
It’s about knowing how to speak & write to the souls of your ideal client so that they deeply desire the solution you possess. It’s about being brilliant in how you share your thought leadership. It’s about asking the right questions that pique interest. It’s about knowing how to address resistance. And it’s about owning your confidence so deeply that all of your marketing materials radiate with magnetism.
Every single module of this training helps you with these business skills so that you can grow your business in sustainable and ethical ways.
"Although I am an experienced coach, I’ve never experienced such a broad and rich curriculum as in the Sacred Depths Program."
The advanced part of this training has enriched me with knowledge, skills and wisdom I’ve never found in any coaching program before. And it is Joanna, with her systemized approach and empathetic and open mind who made the difference for me. She helps you where she can. Shares her knowledge and wisdom without holding back. I felt welcome from the first moment. Sacred Depths for sure is no coaching light. It is a training that you will never forget and will make you feel proud you chose to be a professional coach.The difference for my clients is that I go beyond the surface level, dare to bring them my wisdom on all learning levels by questioning them on all kind of topics, not afraid of touching the dark parts. I can help them befriend their fear, touch the negative patterns, and lead them on their path to make powerful choices in their lives.
I also loved the way we, the coaches, put ourselves out there to be questioned. To journal on all the topics and answer all the questions first.The live shadow retreat was amazing. I learned so much about the darker parts of ourselves and our clients and how to handle tough stuff when shadows pop up. I think I’ve learned not to hide anymore but to trust myself as a professional coach that I can handle all kinds of situations. My clients profit from all this. I dare to ask questions that lead to breakthroughs and, very important, help them along the path of transformation by holding them accountable, step by step, towards their goals and dreams.
Joanna, I loved every minute of this program. I am so grateful for your wisdom, knowledge, skills, and the true role model you are to us. But most of all: I loved you as a facilitator/coach because you were you; kind, loving, intelligent, open, with humor, wise.

When you can confidently stand in the power of the results that you co-create with your clients,
Your Marketing Becomes More Powerful.
You don’t need to over-promise; your results speak for themselves.
Your business gets easier. Word of mouth about you is more likely to spread like wildfire. You are more poised to be sought out for the results you co-create & the experiences you provide.
You become known as the best of the best. You feel more confident & authentic in raising your rates or becoming more visible and bold in your marketing.
“I now have more time, money and freedom to create more of the work that I love.”
When I stepped into Sacred Depths, I had a successful bodywork practice that had evolved over 13 years and was ready for a major shift. I knew I was being called to change the way I worked, but was uncertain how to make the transition. I knew my skills for co-creating deep and profound healing experiences were excellent, and yet there was another step I was ready to take as a practitioner. In Sacred Depths I was given even more permission to trust my intuition and allow my client’s wisdom to lead the session. I really appreciate that Joanna offers the tools and skills that allow those divine moments of self revelation to be carried through and deeply woven into client’s bodies, hearts and lives. I was encouraged to embody each new skill as they were taught, before offering them to clients. I found there was enough structure to learn something new, while being spacious enough for me to weave in the medicine, skills and tools I had already cultivated. I was able to completely transform my practice, without it ever feeling like I had to start from scratch. I shifted from offering 90% in-person sessions and feeling limited by the structure of my business to offering 100% distance/virtual sessions that are more efficient and effective for the folks I serve. I now have more time, money and freedom to create more of the work that I love. I received exactly the foundation, support, confidence and inner transformation I needed to bring my work through to the next evolution of building a sustainable business that is way more aligned with my purpose as a guide and healer.

“Sacred Depths is one of the best investments in myself and my practice that I've ever made.”
— Beth Conroy, Acupuncturist & Life Coach, www.bethconroy.com
"Sacred Depths provided a beautiful container for upleveling my confidence as a Coach.”
Sacred Depths provided a beautiful container for upleveling my confidence as a Coach (truly, it even helped me in claiming the title of "Coach" in my work). The course is laid out exquisitely - with thoughtful attention to every detail. Joanna is beyond masterful in holding the energetics of a large classroom, and meeting the needs of group dynamics.
The classroom calls, private support from Joanna's team of coaches and the myriad of opportunities to practice one:one and in groups with fellow classmates really hit all the marks for me. About 7 months into the program, I noticed I was "different" - something had shifted.
When I started Sacred Depths my business offerings were running as 85% "acupuncturist" and 15% "coach" - with a clear intention to balance that out more. With an already busy practice of 14+ years, this program taught me how to scale these efforts rather than become "busier". With the support of so many individuals in Sacred Depths - I took a look at my values, my patterning and a really close assessment of the work/life balance I wanted to build. I changed (increased) my rates, and I set up clearer boundaries. I also started to notice myself as a coach more, both in my acupuncture sessions and distance work, and the tangible results that went along with those skills. My life and business are better for it.
I'm thrilled to say that my business is now more like 60/40 acupuncture/coaching AND I've even had many of my acupuncture clients convert to coaching clients because they are so floored by my skills and the results they receive! New clients now roll in with more eagerness and my sales conversations are converting with much less effort. This program skyrocketed my confidence and changed my life. I am forever grateful and look forward to the next opportunity to train with Joanna.
— Erin Borbet, www.erinborbet.com
"It was one of the best decisions I've made both for myself, my business and my clients...It's truly been an amazing experience and I feel so much more confident in myself after completing the training. And Sacred Depths is a program that just keeps on giving long after the training is done."
What Does It Mean To Be A
Sacred Depths Practitioner?
- They know how to not be afraid when big emotions come up (& to look forward to it!).
-
A Sacred Depths Practitioner is a person who is REAL and AUTHENTIC, someone who themself shifts, heals and transforms as they step more and more into who they are as a leader…
-
A Sacred Depths Practitioner understands that Equity & Inclusion are core values of true transformation and mentorship. They are committed to equity for everyone regardless of race, gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or physical appearance/ability.
- A Sacred Depths Practitioner is a guide, a teacher, a coach, a speaker whose clients and audiences remember her, whose clients and audiences have immense gratitude and love for, whose clients and audiences credit as one of the main reasons they are as successful as they are, credit for helping provide the greatest learnings and transformations, and whose clients and audiences talk about and refer to others.
-
A Sacred Depths Practitioner knows how to work with their OWN fears, patterns, and limiting behaviors; how to hold themselves through their own deep inner work.
The chance to work with Joanna is not something I would take lightly or pass up. Her work and training will put you light years ahead of most transformational practitioners. I loved the Sacred Depths training so much I am continuing on to level 2 and to her facilitation training. I am so glad I completed my first round with her at the highest commitment level - that week in North Carolina rewired me deeply, gave me an incredible tribe and sisterhood of fellow soulful coaches, and returned me to my power. The inner shifts I've been able to experience alone because of how deeply we engaged with shadow, fear, and resistance have given me the personal tools to face and befriend my demons rather than to be in constant turmoil with them - no longer letting them stop me in my tracks. I have been able to move internal mountains this year alone.
What this looks like for my business is that I've launched my coaching company just 4 months after starting Sacred Depths and have filled half my practice in 5 short months. I am gearing up to launch a group program and I have the confidence to go out in the world and hold space for people I barely know, but deeply know I can transform, help, and return them to their own power, brilliance and inner wisdom. The ripples of this work will never stop. My colleagues in my mastermind have already commented on the breadth, depth, and clarity of my energy and skills - and I see Sacred Depths as being essential to my personal transformation of really owning who I am, my gifts, and saying yes to what was a small idea in the back of my mind but a big leap into the unknown of saying yes to creating an entire new career and business. If you are a lawyer, a coach, a healer, a yoga studio owner - anyone who practices transformational sales and is called to inner work, this program will transform your practice, your work, your world, and your life.
I credit the program and my buddy / the buddy system as making a WORLD of difference in my ability to coach, my confidence to coach, and my own internal guidance system, cultivating my curiosity and deeply trusting my intuition to lead me in my sessions - and the perceptibility to tell when I'm off. Joanna really is a master at what she does. I feel lucky and fortunate to have found her. Because of my work with Joanna, I have stepped wholly into my power and claiming my vision for the world. Thank you, Joanna. Here's to many more cycles in this journey - and the deeper and more wonderous we go.

"The content Joanna presented in the training was worth its weight in gold, but the manner in which she did so is where the magic lies."
What I am most excited about after participating in the Sacred Depths Coach Training is the confidence I now feel that I can help my clients through whatever blocks and obstacles may come up for them (fear, limiting beliefs, old wounds). Before this training, I had lots of “Coaching Tools” from my previous coach training (ICF Certified – 18 month training), but what was missing for me was the deep inner work I needed to experience myself before I could guide my clients through it. I personally had a transformational experience during my time with Joanna. My clients know on a very deep level that I’ve done the “work” that they now benefit from doing themselves!
When I start a session now, I feel a sense of calm, instead of nervousness, because I know I have been through what they are experiencing and can help them navigate it so that they can cultivate the confidence they want for themselves. I now know on a very deep level, that they have the answers (not me!)– all I have to do is help them listen… The content Joanna presented in the training was worth its weight in gold, but the manner in which she did so is where the magic lies. She not only gave me gave me invaluable information, tools and techniques, but modeled them for me as well, so I experienced them personally. Each step built on the last, in a logical progression, and the questions she asked helped me realize that I was capable of creating a magical experience for my clients as well!
If you are considering the Sacred Depths, my recommendation, is “Stop looking and take the leap!” You won’t regret it, I promise! I wish I had found Joanna before my first training!

Confidently Lead Clients towards Deep Transformation & Lasting Change
The Sacred Depths Transformational Practitioner Certification Program is an immersion into the depths of decoding the human psyche, understanding the dynamics of archetypes, fear and resistance, and breaking through to the next expansion of your leadership and mastery as a guide and midwife of human transformation.
This is an intensive multi-month course of study meant for very smart, very evolved new & seasoned practitioners who desire to be EXCEPTIONAL TRANSFORMATIONAL PRACTITIONERS.
THE CURRICULUM
The Foundation Level
The Foundational Competencies are explored over a powerful FIVE MONTH journey.
COMPETENCY 1
Foster Powerful Client Relationships & Embody Potent Energetics
The foundation of any highly effective coaching, healing or supporting is the Client Relationship AND in the Energetics that the Practitioner embodies. If the relationship isn’t solid and strong, and if your Energetics aren't aligned, the coaching and the opportunity for results will never really take off. That’s because the Client Relationship is what establishes trust, vulnerability, willingness to take risks, regulation, and so much more.
No matter how evolved you are, if you don’t do the inner work necessary to be an incredible coach, teacher and mentor, your ego is going to get in the way. Your judgments are going to get in the way. Your own self-doubts and fears are going to get in the way. You will not operate out of integrity and with a commitment to equity. You need to know how to navigate all of this so that you can come to the coaching relationship clean, clear and open. Most coach trainings don’t teach about Energetics and relationships, but in Sacred Depths this is a core, foundational piece that everything else is built upon.

Most coach trainings don’t teach about Energetics and relationships, but in Sacred Depths this is a core, foundational piece that everything else is built upon.
COMPETENCY 2
Listening skills are absolutely necessary in order to be a stellar practitioner. Most practitioners know how to listen WELL…but they don’t know how to listen masterfully. They don’t know how to hear 3 layers beneath the surface.
When you become a truly effective listener, you stop wasting time, & you move clients towards results way more quickly & with more integrity. Most importantly: your clients feel seen and heard by you…which is not only one of the most profound experiences you can give your client, but it also creates much more trust, vulnerability and motivation.

COMPETENCY 3
Creating Awareness For Deep Evolution
One of the hardest, most courageous…and POWERFUL things a coach can do is create awareness for clients around the Truths that clients are perhaps not willing to see.
A masterful coach HEARS the Truth that’s under the surface and then knows exactly how to present & reflect the Truth in ways that are loving, supportive, and results-oriented…in ways that don’t shame their clients or shut them down, but instead create massive breakthroughs and healing.
In this module, you not only learn the skills needed for Reflecting Truth, Mirroring, Honoring What Is, Acknowledging and much more... we also work together on your confidence level and level of groundedness so that you are able to deliver the truth with love and power.

COMPETENCY 4
How To Actually Get Clients Started On Their Goals
Did you know that for exciting as starting on new goals are, most clients will have a hard time with them? As a practitioner of change, you MUST understand the principles of New Things.
New goals have a different energy than goals in progress. Clients respond to new ideas, visions, goals, and projects in one of 4 main ways.
If you, as the practitioner, don’t have a good grasp on these human responses (read: reactions) to starting something new – and know how to detect them - client goals will get foiled before they even get off the ground. If you do, you will be able to lead your client to be willing and excited to initiate their projects every time.

COMPETENCY 6
Become A Strategizing Master
No matter what your expertise – business, relationships, health, acupuncture, real estate…strategizing is an art that combines your knowledge & experience with being able to help a client find her pace, her rhythm, her strengths, and her gaps.
If you don’t know how to apply effective strategizing techniques to your expertise, client results will never get off the ground, because their plan and blueprint won’t be personalized for them.

COMPETENCY 7
Breakthrough Questioning
Transformations can’t happen without deep understanding and revelation. Some of the best revelations come from powerful questions. Knowing how to craft masterful and effective questions is an art. Each and every word counts . Your specific word choices count. The content direction you choose as the coach counts. Your tone of voice counts. One question can make or break a breakthrough waiting to happen. Good questioning creates progress.
Masterful questioning changes your clients’ lives and opens up new pathways of growth and possibility...
COMPETENCY 8
Setting & Maintaining Strong Containers: Best practices for onboarding, protocols, and boundaries
Whether you are a newer or more seasoned practitioner, holding tight and loving boundaries around your containers and sessions are KEY to cultivating trust, vulnerability, and forward movement with your clients. They are also KEY in ensuring that you don’t over-work, over-give or burn out.
In this powerful module, we will go deep into untangling the fears around setting boundaries with clients (as well as how to support clients to set boundaries in their own lives), and then gain clarity on best practices for contracts, agreements, welcome packets, protocols and more...so that you and clients are well taken care of in your container.
PLUS: You'll receive all of my coaching systems, protocols and practices.
Holding the highest level of professionalism and ethics is a core value here at Sacred Depths. I'll share my exact client management process with you, so that you can create healthy boundaries, while allowing your clients to feel fully valued, seen and heard.
These tools will allow you to provide the highest level of service to your clients.
The Mastery Level
Your Sacred Depths Certification continues for another FIVE MONTHS together where you will master these additional competencies:
COMPETENCY 9
The Resistance Archetypes ™
COMPETENCY 10
Befriend Your Fear ™
Fear is one of the biggest factors that gets clients persistently stuck on the road to their goals. Most clients – as well as most coaches! – naturally reject, vilify and run away from their fears. All this does is make your fears stronger. What’s needed is a new perspective and understanding of how fear works in human behavior.
I’ll teach you the exact steps to take your client through so that their fear can stop being the enemy that gets them stuck in their tracks, and instead becomes their friend, their strength and their support system to achieving what they want.
Once you guide your clients to stop fearing fear…and start viewing fear as a natural growth process, everything will change for them.

COMPETENCY 11
Rewire Negative Thought Patterns Process
Negative Thought Patterns are one of the most debilitating obstacles to growth and happiness. It is patterned and learned behavior, as well as limiting beliefs, that have been with your clients for decades, and that literally becomes grooved & wired into the brain. There are strong, old, and persistent patterns to break, but it is totally possible if you have the right tools.
When you are able to support your clients to re-groove new behaviors, patterns and thoughts….everything changes. Obstacles don’t feel so big anymore. Motivation becomes higher. Excitement and joy get activated.

COMPETENCY 12
Way too often, clients will take themselves out of the game because they either get stuck in a cycle of Self-Sabotage or The Myth of Perfection. As a practitioner, you absolutely need to understand both of these phenomena inside out in order to powerfully and lovingly lead your clients out of these closed loop barrier scenarios.
They are trickier and more complex than meets the eye, and the more skill you have in breaking the patterns, the more forward movement your clients will make.

COMPETENCY 13
How To Create Accountability Structures
COMPETENCY 14
Embracing The Mystery
Sometimes the most important role a practitioner can have is to support your clients in Letting Go instead of Creating. In our modern world, where so much emphasis is placed on more, more, more and Hell Ya, Let’s Do it!….sensitive or deep-thinking/feeling clients can feel forced into going against the grain of their own nature and natural rhythms. But of course, the absolute best way to grow and achieve desired goals is to work in alignment you’re your rhythms, not against them.
Because Release and Destruction are vital parts of the Creation process, this is one of the trickiest jobs of a guide (& MOST practitioners don’t even realize that this is part of their responsibility!). It must be done expertly, masterfully and with great care in order to have impact.

COMPETENCY 15
Moving In Rhythm With Time
Time is one of those topics that is all-encompassing and that causes deep frustration for those who have not worked on it. If you don’t know how to help clients move in rhythm with time, you will be met with frustration, exhaustion and stress (from your clients and yourself).
No matter what kind of coaching, teaching or healing you do – Helping your clients manage time and creating an aligned relationship with time is a big key to their happiness, their sense of peace and calm, and their ability to create change in their lives.
COMPETENCY 16
The Most Empowering Transformation Tool - Self Love & Compassion
Many of your clients will not have ever experienced the gift of True Nurturing, True Self-Love and True Self-Compassion. This is key to client motivation, to client well-being, and to client empowerment.
The best practitioners out there understand this and know that part of their job is to provide this necessary experience and teach this necessary skill for any human being who truly wants to thrive.
COMPETENCY 17
Triggers, Projections and Family Dynamics
In any intimate relationship between two human beings, certain tensions, fears, judgments and expectations will arise. The Client Relationship is no exception to this rule. Both client and practitioner have the potential to be triggered, to be projected upon, and to unconsciously bring their old family dynamics into the picture. As the coach, if you are well trained and have done the inner work to be fully self-aware, not only will you be able to avoid your own triggers and projections, but you’ll be able to easefully use the Client Relationship as a vehicle for healing your client’s own triggers.
This topic is one that most Certifications don’t cover, but they should. It isn’t only a transformation skill; it’s an Ethics issue.
COMPETENCY 18
The Off-the-charts Power Of Journaling & Ritual As Transformational Tools
Most likely when you coach, talking will be one of your main modes of communication. However, there is so much power, transformation and forward movement that happens when you add other modalities to the mix. I have found Journaling and Ritual to be at the top of that list.
As a ritualist for the last 20 years, I have seen first hand how bringing ritual actions and the body into coaching creates extraordinary results. Over the course of this module, I will teach you how to use both Journaling and Ritual as companions to your coaching process – both in session and in between sessions. Much transformation happens for coaching clients during their sessions with you. But don’t overlook the incredible progress, healing and shifting that can happen in between your sessions…if you know how to assign homework assignments and Solo Work activities that strengthen and seal the work you’ve done together.
In these classes, I will share with you strategies I use that are home runs every single time. These strategies are rarely ever taught in any type of practitioner training program, but they make all the difference.
COMPETENCY 19
The Next Steps Process to Successfully Re-Enroll Happy Clients
The most important factor in being able to re-enroll clients with you over and over again is your ability to co-create results with your clients. That being said, you also need a powerful & effective re-enrollment conversation: a conversation where you are able to navigate your client to see exactly why they want to re-enroll with you and exactly how you’ll be able to help them achieve their next level goals.
The Next Steps process is pure GOLD. You’ll learn step by step how to lead your client to feel amazing about the work you’ve already done and excited to step into the next phase of work with you.
“This is not your every-day coach training program. You will walk away with the skills you need to become a master and leader in the coaching industry.”
I have had the pleasure of working with Joanna on a number of different occasions. She has always proven to be a master at whatever she sets her mind to do. All of that said, working with her in Sacred Depths was a whole other level of goodness. I had already been through a coach certification program but what Joanna covers in the course took my coaching skills to a much deeper level. The name Sacred Depths speaks perfectly to the work of deepening into my skills as a coach. After Sacred Depths I feel much more able to hold space for my clients to not simply reach their goals but to also experience profound transformation in the process. This is not your every-day coach training program. You will walk away with the skills you need to become a master and leader in the coaching industry. Joanna doesn’t do fluff – it’s deep work and it’s work that will challenge you personally and equip you to support those you feel called to serve. If you’re on the fence about this program, do yourself a favor and take the leap. You won’t regret it!

“The tools I have received are allowing me to tap into my wisdom and with so much love and confidence to direct my clients to find the right answers for them inside them.”
I am usually so good with my words, but I am having a hard time finding the right words to describe this powerful experience. It has been so profound in my personal and professional life. I had no experience as a coach, as I was taking this journey my confidence level had increased tremendously, I start working with clients and I see how the tools I have received are allowing me to tap into my wisdom and with so much love and confidence to direct my clients (and my potential clients) to find the right answers. Joanna shared her knowledge, experience, and wisdom with such dedication and love and was able to create a truly sacred space that allowed me to open up, be vulnerable and go really deep to resolve, understand, accept and figure out whatever it was that needed my attention. I am still impressed with how organized and professional everything was, the way things were presented, the support of the team, the timing, how everything Joanna said that she will do, share, or post was done as promised or more than that. I am so grateful for this program, for Joanna, for the amazing support team -you guys are such blessing.

“In my first 30 days working with Joanna, I made $26,000 (!!!!!), sold out a 50-person workshop, booked 32 enrollment conversations, created, launched, and completely sold out."
Before working with Joanna, I was experiencing success in my business but was feeling confused about where to go next. I was torn between ideas and had been spinning my wheels for MONTHS. I knew I wanted to up-level my offerings, hit six+ figures, and feel more aligned in my messaging -but I was frustrated because I couldn’t get it figured out on my own. During our first call, helped me gain clarity that had been eluding me for almost 2 years! As someone who prides herself in being a go-getter with a lot of ambition and heart, Joanna was a Godsend –she helped me channel my genius into clear systems for producing revenue that also felt completely aligned with my higher calling and gifts. In my first 30 days working with Joanna, I made $26,000 (!!!!!), sold out a 50-person workshop, booked 32 enrollment conversations, created, launched, and completely sold out The Aligned Female Entrepreneur (my first digital business-building course) and filled my one-on-one practice.
The best part was I was able to accomplish all of this from a place of integrity and true heartfelt connection, not complicated click funnels or high-pressure sales tactics. So, not only has my income grown, but I’m literally in tears every week over the breakthroughs and results my clients are achieving through doing this work and modeling these principles. I truly feel like Joanna has allowed me to be of greater service to this world. I was terrified to invest at this level and naturally was skeptical after investing in programs in the past, but after now just 2 months into my 6-month package, I can say for certain this has been the ONE thing that has made all the difference.

“The past 10 months have been a tour de force of learning how to create a solid container for masterful coaching to take place and I couldn't be happier with the impact this has had not only on my clients, but on me as well. "
After participating in The Art of Client Transformation last year, I decided to go for it and sign up to learn more in Sacred Depths. The past 10 months have been a tour de force of learning how to create a solid container for masterful coaching to take place and I couldn't be happier with the impact this has had not only on my clients, but on me as well. I have gained a better understanding of how I can best hold space for inner inquiry and my clients are certainly noticing the difference! If you are someone who facilitates ANY kind of healing work, then I highly recommend working with Joanna as she will uplevel your skills in deep and meaningful ways. That has certainly been the case for me over this past year and I will be forever grateful for all that I am taking away from this program--thank you, Joanna!

“As an experienced coach, I’d highly recommend this for both new and seasoned coaches!”
“Sacred Depths supported me to shine as a coach, and is truly the best decision I’ve made..."
I had already been through a coach training program, but was left feeling in my bones that there was more depth I could access, and more skills that I needed. I wanted to be able to do truly powerful work with my clients and to be an exceptional coach, and knew I needed more training. As soon as I heard about this program, I was a total Yes! Working with Joanna has been powerful both personally and professionally. I used to feel unsure of myself with clients, not knowing if I could truly support them in their dreams. I now feel confident that I can show up, go deep, and get to the root with them, and they are achieving amazing and sustainable results. I’m thrilled to have the skills to create powerful coaching relationships with my clients and my groups, which brings them back for more. Sacred Depths supported me to shine as a coach, and is truly the best decision I’ve made as I step onto this new path of my soul’s work.

"Joanna knows what it takes to create powerful shifts in others."
If you are ready to make your coaching more deep and meaningful, I highly recommend Sacred Depths! In my work, I integrate the work of many teachers in the transformational industry, and Joanna knows what it takes to create powerful shifts in others. The program is structured beautifully and with great attention to detail. The content is both easy to understand and also immediately applicable. While teaching coaching skills, the greater gift of Sacred Depths is that you can use the processes to connect with your inner self and understand who you are as a mentor and person. Joanna is extremely supportive and kind. She embodies integrity, communicates powerfully and offers so much new language to help you reach your clients in your business, connect with them deeply and help transform their lives.

THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO HELP YOU STEP INTO.

“Joanna’s experience, expertise and perspective are unparalleled in the transformational coaching industry.”
The Sacred Depths Coach Certification program strengthened my professional skills, deepened my personal resilience and honored my unique gifts as a coach. The tools Joanna teaches helped me consciously and consistently guide my clients to their breakthroughs and lasting transformations. As a result, I feel more confident in marketing my work. Joanna’s experience, expertise and perspective are unparalleled in the transformational coaching industry. But, more so, she inspires me to keep learning, growing and becoming.
— Cory Kemp, corykemp.com
Joanna makes it clear in this course that going deep with clients really requires going deep with yourself. She makes it clear that integrity is central to making sure your clients have the kind of results that make them return to work with you repeatedly and you can’t ask anything of them that you wouldn’t do yourself. Additionally, Sacred Depths provides many tools to make sure your clients get the results they desire. I started unsure of how I would pay for the course, and ended up with more income than ever before! This was not a coincidence.

“ I am so grateful to have been a part of it all.”
Have you ever been part of something very powerful, and someone asks you to describe it, and all you can say is, “You’d have to have been there to really get it.” There is an alchemy that happens in the mixture of deep and amazing content, Joanna’s gift for presence and teaching, and the coaches who are attracted to her program. I am so grateful to have been a part of it all.
— Bruce Anderson
You
When you learn to create deep and powerful transformation, utilizing skill and finesse that will bring your clients to their knees, by learning how to hold space for others to find their souls, and by honoring the truth in your core that it’s your birth-rite to feel sacred and holy… EVERYTHING CHANGES.
And, instead of learning a new coaching “method” – which can only take you so far – you’ll walk away with the confidence and the skills to create your own methods. You’ll be able to create incredible transformational experiences, no matter what content you use. And you’ll step more fully into who you are as a transformational leader.
"Joanna is that coach, and Sacred Depths IS that certification."
For years, I have secretly wished for an experienced, mastery-level coach to step up and create the certification I wish I’d had back when I was new to coaching. Something that could cut YEARS off the learning curve of an ambitious, highly driven yet empathic woman like me; something with the repeatable secrets of how to REALLY move clients to their success. Joanna is that coach, and Sacred Depths IS that certification."
Coaching is more than listening; it’s more than asking the right question at the right time. Coaching is the ability to BE with the wild emotional ride that IS your clients’ process of transformation – while being with your own at the same time! Very few coaching certifications out there speak to this, let alone teach it. But Joanna goes THERE, because she knows that your success depends on more than knowing how to get clients, or feeding them tired “done for you blueprints” without REALLY understanding the inner processes at play when making big leaps.
With Sacred Depths, you’ll get exactly what you need to stand out as a coach in today’s crowded marketplace: mastery-level skills that empower you to facilitate epic results for your clients. Too many coach training programs make OTHER things the focus, like marketing and “done for you” content. Instead, Joanna gives you the real-world skills, AND the personal growth for YOU that is required to succeed – for your clients will only go as far as YOU do!
Whether you’re new to coaching (just getting started) or you’re an experienced coach looking to get past your own blind spots and triggers so you can take your client results to the next level… Sacred Depths is for you. Joanna will set you up for THE best marketing you could ever have in your business – scores of happy clients you’ve helped in ways greater than you could have ever hoped for, or imagined.
— Elizabeth Purvis, Master Coach and Founder, Feminine Magic®
"Sacred Depths is the coach training program that I wish I had started with!"
When I was working with clients before I joined, I was feeling like an imposter and doubting my abilities to really help people make deep, lasting change. To the point it was affecting my ability to sell my program. Now that I have completed Joanna's program, I feel way more confident and complete as a coach and I know that will only grow as I continue to practice the skills I have learned. Honestly, I feel like I can coach anyone on just about anything because I have learned to consult less and ask better questions to help the client discover the answers for themselves.
— Jen Youngquist Holistic Coaching, jenyoungquist.com
"I have used these tools...and they have not only been very effective, but have also boosted my confidence..."
I have been considering working with Joanna for some time now. Since I am already a certified professional coach, I wasn’t sure how much Sacred Depths would add to my coaching knowledge and skills. In spite of it, I knew I needed better and more in-depth tools to support my clients in their journeys. And even though there was some overlap between what I learned in my previous coaching program and Sacred Depths, the latter went much deeper into issues that clients consistently bring to the sessions. For instance, while many coaching programs provide general tools to assist with common issues, in Sacred Depths we took a deep dive into the energetics of the coaching sessions, visioning and strategizing, befriending our fears, rewiring negative thought patterns, self-sabotaging, and perfectionism. Joanna shared specific tools and approaches for each one of those topics, and that was a game changer for me. In addition, she taught me how to incorporate ritual in my coaching sessions and the importance of it in working with the unconscious aspects of ourselves. I have used these tools with myself and my clients and they have been not only very effective, but have also boosted my confidence by providing me with a variety of tools to bring to the sessions. And on top of all these, it has been a great delight to work with Joanna! She is incredibly generous with her time and offerings, and she is a very gifted teacher. I am so thrilled with all that I learned that I am looking forward to diving even deeper in Advanced Depths!

Being Responsive & ProActive to Issues of Race, Diversity & Inclusion in Your Coaching Sessions & Practice
If you feel drawn to work with Joanna, chances are that it’s important to you to make your practice nourishing and supportive for EVERYONE, regardless of race, religion, gender, and more. Even for “well meaning” coaches, the topic of race, diversity and inclusiveness in your coaching can be tricky. In this session, we will learn from guest speaker Makeda Pennycooke, the ins and outs of cultural sensitivity.
Rea Wright presents:
The Scope of Coaching vs. The Scope of Therapy
Professionals join Sacred Depths Coach Training because they want to go deep and really work on the edges of what is possible within the realm of coaching: facilitating profound transformation on many levels. When you do this work, it is vital that you are able to recognize when a client requires psychotherapy, or is in the midst of an active mental health crisis. Join Joanna with psychotherapist and coach Rea Wright as they discuss these important distinctions.
Gena Shingle Jaffe presents:
Easy-Peasy Legal for Entrepreneurs

“Absolutely life-changing!!”
Joanna’s container is vast yet intimate, and Sacred Depths is an elemental journey for the evolving soul. It is Joanna’s sacred holding of our Ancient Feminine Earth wisdom that makes her the foremost evolutionary practitioner of her generation. Absolutely life-changing!!”

“Joanna is absolutely masterful at teaching coaching skills, for both beginners and those more experienced.”
I’ve shared her coaching tools with my client groups, and they loved her work. I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the quality and depth of her trainings. Highly recommended.

Here is what this program is NOT
This is not “Coaching Lite.” In fact if this program speaks to you it is likely that you may have some ambivalence about even calling yourself a coach. You know you go deeper than most coaches, and you know your work has (or is meant to have) more gravitas.
"Coach" is really just the tip of the iceberg of what you will learn to provide & hold space for.
This is not a journey you take without deeply desiring in your heart for your work itself to be remarkable, exceptional and truly unforgettable.
This is not an "I'll-fly-to-the-moon-and-back-overnight" training.
Sacred Depths is 10-months because it takes time to learn, embody, and master all the skills you need to be an exceptional practitioner. This is about REAL learning & progress.
This is not "Hell, yeah!" Coaching.
This is coaching that lovingly takes your clients' Natural Rhythms into consideration that they can create sustainable and shame-free forward movement.
This is not another marketing course. But this program will transform your business.
Why? Because when you co-create exceptional results with clients & when you feel more confident in your work… clients are much more likely to come.
Mastery of your craft is the ultimate business strategy.
“Sacred Depths was an illuminating, deep-dive program for coaches like myself who are called to take their mastery to the next level so that they can deeply serve their clients.”
— Terra Christoff
“I have so much gratitude for what is genuinely a sacred and deep immersion, and for Joanna’s fearless commitment to holding high standards in this field.”
— Monika Nataraj
“My desire and ability to market are stronger because of the confidence I gained and I’ve very quickly found new clients. Sacred Depths is more than a course, it’s a life changing journey.”
— Sharon Epstein
“I have received so much from my time in Sacred Depths. My coaching has reached an entirely new depth and the places I go with clients are now surprising, empowering, and inspiring. Just as you promised, they are indeed re-signing!”

Becoming Official Certified is optional, and the fee is $900 (which can also be divided into payments). You don't need to decide on official certification at the beginning of your program; you can opt in at any time during the training.
I’m a seasoned and accomplished coach. Is this training for me?
In short, YES! As a seasoned coach and as a transformational leader, I’m sure you know the importance of constantly holding yourself to a higher standard & being on a journey of continuous learning. I’ve been coaching for nearly two decades, and I am both an expert at it as well as in the perpetual mastery experience.
Some of the tools I teach in this program will reinforce what you already know, thus making you more masterful at them. And many other of the tools I teach will be completely new to you, and will help you become even more effective at creating results. Most of the participants who enroll in this program are already incredible coaches & practitioners, forces to be reckoned with.
I haven't yet started working with clients. Is this training for me?
Sacred Depths is definitely an Advanced and Accelerated training. It is 100% suitable for new practitioners who are very smart and learn quickly, who enjoy going deep with others and are committed to doing exceptional and transformation work.
If this is you, then YES!
How do I decide between the MASTERY or the FOUNDATIONS LEVEL?
I have designed this training to be a 10-month full-service, highly immersive, highly supportive experience that gives you EVERYTHING you need to know, and gives you the time and space to truly process, integrate and master all of your new skills. The Sacred Depths Mastery Level prepares you for certification & is truly incredible and very full.
Foundations is a perfect starting place if you want to gain the core skills, techniques and have the community and a supportive place to practice your new and evolving coaching skills, with a shorter time commitment.
Is Sacred Depths trauma-informed?
Sacred Depths is 100% trauma informed. Everything we explore and every technique we learn is based first and foremost on integrity, and on the understanding that it’s our job as practitioners to empower our clients. The training offers a lot of work both on the inner level as well as practical tools & techniques so that we are always honoring our clients’ agency, we are never taking advantage of power dynamics, and we are fully aware of how to hold space for a client that may be bringing trauma, triggers, projections, etc into the container.
How much time do I need to devote to the training?
Between class time, homework and optional buddy coaching time, you can expect do devote anywhere between 5-10 hours per MONTH (we meet for class most weeks, but not every week). Even the busiest of participants have shared that they have been able to complete the program and move at a pace that is right for them.
Do I need to attend the trainings live?
While I do encourage everyone to make as many training calls as you can live - and to participate (there is plenty of time for Q/A and sharing!), I understand that this isn’t always possible. We have certainly had very satisfied participants successfully complete the program and get certified who have listened to the recordings of each training. Most training calls (with a few exceptions) are 90-minutes at 12:00 PM Pacific / 3:00 PM Eastern on Tuesdays.
I’m having trouble filling my coaching practice. Should I wait till I am full to do this training?
If you are going to use this training to hide behind, and not take active action steps to attract clients into your business during our 10-months together, then this is not the place for you right now.
But that being said, if you recognize that having more happy clients re-sign in their work you will grow your business, and if you recognize that bringing in more referrals from happy clients will grow your business, and if you recognize that having happy clients spreading the word about your amazing work will grow your business...then working on your coaching & transformational skills is KEY to this type of organic business growth.
Additionally, if you are just starting out, knowing that you are a stellar practitioner has the potential to create a ton more confidence in yourself, which often leads to a ton more clarity & inspiration to create powerful & effective marketing materials, as well as excited motivation to outreach and be seen.
If you sense you need more support & instruction in putting your marketing together, as part of your bonuses for this program, you’ll receive a BUSINESS & MARKETING INSTRUCTION as part of Sacred Depths, which includes a 12-hour homestudy on how to create marketing that is fully aligned with the depth of your work, as well as an additional 15 hours of LIVE & coaching & Q/A specifically on marketing and business building.
I’m not a coach. I am [massage therapist, intuitive, yoga instructor, real estate broker, fill in the blank here]. Is this training for me?
YES, YES, YES!!!! If you are in the business of creating client transformations or supporting clients (or team members) to create a transformation or result or , then this information and practice will serve you. We have graduated acupuncturists, cranio-sacral therapists, astrologers, reiki masters, psychotherapists, doctors, physical therapists, real estate agents, school teachers, business executives...as well as the full gamut of business coaches, relationship coaches, health coaches, and more.
10 months is a loooong time. Do we really need that much time to learn the skills?
I SO hear you. Ten months is a commitment, and especially these days when we are saturated with online content and a little tired of being on zoom.
That being said, the way we do it in Sacred Depths is different. This is a container that is designed to nourish you, energize you, and to be your happy place each week. There are moments here and there where the 10 months will FEEL like 10 months, but by and large, our time together will zip by. (Time flies when you're having fun!). The skills, tools, and techniques you will learn in Sacred Depths are Master Level Techniques for Human Transformation. We’re not messing around here. We’re talking about you becoming the best of the best and leading your clients (& yourself) to the most sacred, authentic, powerful depths possible. 10 months is a drop in the bucket when you consider how many decades you’ll be applying these learnings over and over and over again.
I’m seriously considering registering, but I’d love to have a call to make sure it’s for me. Is that possible?
Absolutely! I totally understand wanting to have a connection and ask questions, and see if this is the right training for you. If you’d like to set up a call, get in touch at info@applieddepthinstitute.com, and we’ll get you set up right away!
I often fall behind in group programs… How can I keep up & stay accountable?
I hear you! It CAN be really easy sometimes to fall behind, and I am 1000% committed to you staying on track and getting EXACTLY what you need in our time together. That’s why we have a week off each month for catchup as well as optional accountability and practice buddies (I HIGHLY recommend!). In addition, I am always tracking your experience, and if I don’t “see you around” for a little bit in a session or in our FB group, you can be sure that I’ll be reaching out to you to help get you back on track!
Are there scholarships available?
We are proud to offer a limited amount of partial scholarships to BIPOC students in every cycle of the training. As a company, we recognize the unbalanced representation for minority communities in the coaching and the transformational industries, and how access to advanced leadership trainings and more diverse and equitable circles can help support better outcomes for all. Our scholarships aim to create a more diverse coaching community that can serve an expanding industry. Sacred Depths scholarships are offered based on financial need to students who come from marginalized communities. We want to hear your voice!
These scholarships are meant for people who would not otherwise be able to attend the training because their financial resources are limited. If you have the means to pay for the full training, or if you have limited resources but do not identify as BIPOC, payment plans are available.
You can learn more about our scholarship program by emailing info@applieddepthinstitute.com.
“Everything about working with clients feels lighter now, because of how much deeper I’ve learned to take them.”
Sacred Depths takes an honest and real approach to the art and science of transformational coaching. The principles, philosophies, and frameworks that Joanna teaches have elevated my soul work and my coaching presence, leading to transformative client results and connections, and a deeper belief in my vision and purpose. Joanna shares and teaches so generously and offers the best to her students and the industry as a whole. Everything about working with clients feels lighter now, because of how much deeper I’ve learned to take them. I’m so grateful for Joanna’s guidance and support. Through Sacred Depths, I’ve evolved as a practitioner and have way more trust in my path as an embodied leader and creator.

“I’ve heard from every single client so far that I’ve changed their life.”
This journey has changed everything for me. I’m using the word ‘Journey’ deliberately here, because more than just a course, Sacred Depths is a journey. One where you can expect to grow and evolve in all possible ways! I came into Sacred Depths with a deep desire to become a coach but not really knowing where to start. What I’ve received at the end of it is not only masterful skills in coaching and transformation but also a deep understanding of the energetic structure that goes hand in hand with client-work. I’ve heard from every single client so far that I’ve changed their life. And I know it’s much thanks to the education and evolution I’ve received through SDTP. Everything Joanna teaches on acts as a support structure that allows clients to feel seen, heard and loved. I couldn’t be happier with what I received from SDTP, it’s a truly transformative journey!

"I'm out here buoyed by a cohort of AMAZING and INSPIRING graduates, doing the work & experiencing the magic. "
When I started Sacred Depths, I could have told you I might skip the lesson on Accountability Structures. Heebie jeebies. ND kryptonite. Plus, I thought my people were structure-phobes like me. (I wasn't wrong.) But, the way Sacred Depths is structured, within each and every session AND the program as a whole, created room for deep absorption of concepts, techniques, ideas, love. Get it? The structure behind the teaching is the secret sauce. (Shhh.) It's so much more than teaching and learning, more than practice makes perfect. (Spoiler alert: Perfect is not even the goal!)
It is not possible to articulate all the juicy goodness that I've absorbed through Sacred Depths. It is not possible to compare it to other programs that I've also loved and gotten a ton out of. The main distinction here is that I've sometimes experienced course content as a buffet. Wander in, look around, take something back to try it, might be great or bland or stale. Or oops, over filled so that once it's in front of you, you don't know where to start. I want you to know that with Joanna, you're signing up for chef's table - multi-course with perfect pairings. So graciously and generously offered, in (ahem, structured) ways, that even my finicky neurospicy brainways found irresistable.
But really, is it worth it? As a MoneyDoula, I've said that an INVESTMENT without implementation is really an EXPENSE.
The investment in Sacred Depths came with supported integration that essentially paved a path for inevitable implementation.
I'm out here buoyed by a cohort of AMAZING and INSPIRING graduates, doing the work & experiencing the magic.
10/10: Would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

Here's what
I want for you...
More than anything, I want for you to finally leave all of your self-doubt behind. I want you to know in your heart and soul that you are a Sacred Catalyst who makes massive impact on the people you serve.
I want you to create the most amazing results for you clients and audiences so that first and foremost YOU feel fantastic about the work you do, and then from there so that you create a community of raving fans who buy from you over and over and over again, and who tell everyone they know about you. I want you to stand as the leader in the room & in your sessions, in your full power, and to activate the power inside of every person you reach. I want you to know that your business is built on quality and on integrity, instead of feeling like you’re always needing to do slimy marketing to get to the next place.
I also want for you to join me in this revolution to raise the quality of the transformational and self-help industries, because I believe fully that those of us who commit to mastery and who commit to being the best of the best are the ones who will change and heal the world.
AND LET'S BE HONEST...
The world really needs us right now!
"This is a journey for the committed souls--sensitive, deep thinkers, artists, ritualists... looking to grow their sacred business & selves WITH integrity!!"
"I know exactly what I have to offer and there are no more doubts about my ability to deliver. "
