At Applied Depth, coaching is re-imagined as a sacred craft – for your clients, for yourself.
Our practitioner trainings are a potent blend of evidence-based coaching skills, human psychology, neuroscience, somatics, ritual and shadow reclamation.
Hi, I’m Joanna!
I founded Applied Depth Institute to help coaches master somatics, Shadow & ritual, and co-create more transformation & results with clients.
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve trained thousands of coaches, therapists and group leaders to become the “One” your clients say helped change everything.
If you’re looking for depth training on advanced coaching skills, shadow, fear & resistance, you’ve found the right place.
I believe in you.
I know you can be the kind of practitioner who grows your business by making an indelible mark on your clients.
The real secret to success is to be extraordinary at what you do.
Here are just a few results from those I’ve trained:
One student re-enrolled 7 of 10 mastermind participants, bringing in a big portion of income before she even started marketing to the public.
Another student received a 6-figure contract from a large corporation because she WOW-ed them with her somatic coaching techniques.
A beloved client got named “Coach of the Year” by the prestigious Stevie Awards.
Most of my students receive glowing testimonials from clients without even having to ask, being honored by them for being exceptional & remarkable.

I have so much to share with you! You can expect 2-3 emails per week from me.
“My clients now regularly rave about their sessions and send me emails afterwards saying how helpful they were. The program is a must on the path to become excellent and masterful as a coach.”
“This work and training will put you light years ahead of most transformational practitioners. I have been able to move internal mountains this year alone.”
“As someone that tends to be critical of programs, curriculum, and facilitation, Sacred Depths and Joanna have challenged me to expand in ways I didn’t realize I needed. I joined Sacred Depths to increase my ability in holding space for challenging conversations with clients and left the program exceeding my goals, including tripling my program fees and confidently adding coaching as a pillar to my business. However, the most important piece is that my relationship with myself and those I love has noticeably evolved. I am forever grateful for this work.”
“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.
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!”
