What It Takes for True Client Results & Transformation

Somatic & Depth

Coaching Intensive

March 9–13, 2026
Tools to help you go deeper in your client work, and support your clients through their toughest obstacles. (the good stuff!)

Masterful Depth Coaching is the Pathway to Happier Clients Who Rave About Your Work…

I want to share the unspoken truth that most coaches sense, even if they haven’t fully articulated it yet:

In 2026, surface-level coaching is no longer enough.
(& honestly, it has never been enough).

Clients are more discerning. They can get good enough coaching from ChatGPT for free. The market is noisier. Selling is harder. And quality client work makes all the difference.

In this economy & environment, if you’re not exceptional at what you do, it’s hard to stay in business.

The coaches who are being noticed, referred, and re‑signed are not louder or flashy or have a million followers — they are deeper & more effective.

They know how to work beneath the surface.
They know how to get to the root.
They know how to work somatically.
They know how to create safety and momentum.

And they understand the subtle difference between good coaching and extraordinary coaching.

This Intensive is for coaches who want to embody all of this and more.

A framework for working with client fear and resistance without pushing, rescuing, or collapsing

If Any of These Feel True, These 5 Days Are For You:

“My clients understand a lot about their blocks — but real change still feels inconsistent.”

“I can sense something deeper wants to happen, but I’m not always sure how to follow it.”

“I hold back from marketing & visibility because I’m not fully confident.”

“I’m really good…but I want to be extraordinary.”

“How do I work with fear and resistance without pushing, rescuing, or collapsing?”

Investment: $297

I am coaching much more masterfully. I also feel so much more confident reflecting the truth & calling out resistances and fears. This results in more powerful results & being able to go much deeper with clients in a shorter amount of time.”

Tanya Dantus

“I have a graduate degree in counseling and never encountered the depth, wisdom and sheer practical instruction that is woven into each training session with Joanna.”

Moira Shaughnessy

This experience is designed for new coaches building strong foundations and seasoned practitioners ready for their next level of mastery.

You care deeply about your clients, and want to support real breakthroughs — not surface insight, temporary motivation, or conversations that don’t create lasting change.

You want to trust yourself to stay steady when clients show up with fear or resistance.

You want to know you are exceptional at what you do, so you can show up more visibly and also sleep well at night knowing you’re making big impact.

If any of this resonates, you’re not behind.

You’ve simply reached the edge of what most coach trainings offer.

By the end of our 5-day Intensive you’ll have a profound understanding of what it takes to co-create real change with clients

Depth Coaching is about becoming more attuned, more precise, and more trustworthy as a practitioner.

It’s about becoming the kind of practitioner clients trust, remember, and return to.

“I now have so much confidence when serving clients who needed to go deep or get uncomfortable in order to move forward…As an experienced coach, I’d highly recommend this for both new and seasoned coaches!”

Gwenn Prinbeck

“I would not have been able to create such a powerful experience for my clients without Joanna’s support.” 
Christine Dyan Thomson

Ready to become more confident in your ability to be extraordinary?

Investment: $297

Our Intensive will focus on:

The energetics of the coach and how to transform your own fears, trauma responses & unhelpful beliefs (the ones that have you doubt yourself and stay small)

How to consistently co-create transformative results in your client work

Human psychology & behavior around fear, resistance, change and belonging

Somatic work that is grounded, trauma-informed and highly effective

Going beyond the cognitive to get to the root
What it takes to create more referrals, stellar reputation and client renewals

What You’ll Learn & Experience
Over 5 Days

Each day builds on the last, weaving together energetics, skill, somatic awareness, ethics, and sustainable impact.

This is experiential teaching — not theory alone.

Day 1: Monday, March 9 

Transform Your Energetics

Depth coaching begins before the session ever starts.

Here we explore how your inner world shapes client outcomes. We’ll do a deep dive into your energetics, trauma responses, self-trust, and the subtle ways the “not good enough” belief interferes with presence, authority, and clarity (even if you have decades of experience under your belt!).

  • Transform the part of you (& your clients!) that questions whether you are “enough”
  • Shift the deep-seated “Fraud Factor” that prevents you from activating stellar client progress… and holds you back from marketing boldly!
  • ​Excavate your patterns of (dis)trust (of yourself & others) that block you from doing your best client work & marketing
  • ​Work with the foundational obstacles that get in the way of delivering exceptional client results.

Day 2: Tuesday, March 10

Ask Better Breakthrough Questions

So much of your client work and devotion to client progress hinges on asking questions. Yet, not all questions are equal; there is an art to crafting truly transformational questions.

This day focuses on how to deepen this essential coaching skill and make your questions inside of coaching sessions go from good (or even great) to phenomenal.

  • Escape the common trap of over-consulting 
  • Learn the Foundational principles for crafting productive questions with depth
  • Discover 4 levels of learning and processing inside coaching conversations…& how to better activate them (for client work; for sales calls)
  • Uncover language tricks that make your questions go 10x deeper

Day 3: Wednesday, March 11

Working Skillfully with Fear & Resistance

Fear and resistance are not obstacles to client results & transformation — but you need to understand how they operate and what to do.

This day offers advanced principles for working with fear & resistance in a way that is ethical, trauma‑aware, and effective. 

  • ​Unpack the Mechanics of Fear to be able to create client breakthroughs + show up more powerfully in your work
  • Re-circuit The Victim, The Judge, The Flake, The Overwhelmed or The Confused One inside of you…so that you stop holding back from marketing & visibility efforts
  • ​Learn the 4 most important principles of working somatically with clients (so you cut through old patterning quicker)
  • Uncover the real process of human change (versus what social media influencers tell us)

Day 4: Thursday, March 12

Staying Trauma‑Informed in Your Coaching

Depth requires safety…and safety requires specific tools and understandings.

Together we’ll explore power dynamics inside coaching relationships, including how power is shared, misused, or avoided. You’ll learn trauma‑informed principles that support ethical practice and deeper transformation (& ethical marketing too!)

  • Understand the power dynamics inside the coaching relationship…& how to mitigate them
  • Do deep work around your own Shadow of Power
  • Learn trauma‑informed principles every coach should understand
  • Witness how safety and depth coexist

    Day 5: Friday, March 13

    Inspire Clients to Re‑sign & Send Referrals

    True depth changes everything — including how clients decide to continue their work about you, talk about you, refer folks your way.

    While stellar work naturally activates referrals and renewals, even in a challenging market, you also want a process for how to make this happen. We’ll look at frameworks that you can apply right away.

    • The 5-step process of effectively inviting clients to re-sign with you over and over again (this is pure gold!)
    • Creating clients who want to continue and refer
    • ​Learn key principles for Marketing with Ethics and Persuasiveness
    • Sustainable growth rooted in integrity

      Investment: $297

      This Intensive is Intimate, Content-Packed & Experiential

       

      I’m not about hype; I’m about quality, gravitas and depth.

      This is real teaching.
      Real reflection.
      Real transformation.

      You won’t just learn with your “mind” — you’ll learn and transform with your heart and somatically, with your body. Massive a-has will bring you to tears.

      I’ll be right there with you the whole time, with lots of interaction and coaching. You can ask me ANY questions you want.

      Transformation will be palpable in each and every moment.

      “What a weekend with Joanna. I had multiple breakthroughs, and even had an opportunity to see instant affects on my work with a client. And today, 48 hours later, the insights are popping. It is incredible what I am seeing so clearly.”

      Carla Sanders

      Joanna’s event has been a confidence booster for me, a transformational and loving container to get aware of resistance patterns that are still in my way and a time packed with many tools and tips how to support my own and my clients growth and expansion process. All of that with so much integrity, high ethics, profound knowledge and Joanna’s kind, caring and very attentive way of teaching.”

      Raffaela Rosa

      “It’s amazing to me that just after 3 days with Joanna, I feel a deeper level of self-trust and confidence in my own inner wisdom and ability to create deeply transformational spaces for my clients and potential clients. I am ready to share my work with a deeper level of conviction and belief than ever before. So I am grateful for it all.”

      “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. I’m forever changed and deeply grateful.”

      Heather Lawrence

      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, and my gifts.”

      Who is this Intensive For?

      (It’s not for everyone!)

       

      You’re newer to coaching and want strong, ethical foundations

      You’re very experienced and ready for deeper mastery

      You care about depth, ethics, and real change

      You want to work with the nervous system and the body in grounded ways

      You’re not into surface-level work, overblown promises, or flashy moves

      You want your work to stand out through quality

      You don’t need to be perfect.

      You just need to care about doing this work well.

      “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.”

      Michelle Thompson

      Joanna is one of the best coaches in the industry. It has been a privilege to get to work with her. Through our work together 1:1 and in Sacred Depths,

      I left my corporate job, started my own coaching business and made $275K in the first year! In my second year working with her I made $425K. I feel grateful to have her as my coach, challenging my inner belief systems and translating that into the success in my business. I sign up for every program she is offering because of how powerful the work is.”

      Rachel L Rider

      “I’ve been a full-time coach for 15 years now. Each year I have a constant drive to get better, go deeper, and learn more about my clients. The Sacred Depths Coach Training Program gave me more tools to recognize my clients’ 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.
       
      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.”
      Monica Shah

      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

      “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

      Joanna is simply amazing at what she does. She models what she teaches making it really easy to see and get the learning at a core level.

      She is extremely generous and it’s evident that she deeply cares about every one of her students. I highly recommend working with Joanna. There’s no way you will ever be the same. Her teachings have forever changed me and the impact I’m able to make. “

      Justine Arian-Edwards

      Through both the practical and energetic work with Joanna, I have an entirely new life that is centered on my heart-work that I could not have even envisioned before.”
      Miranda Maher

      “My desire and ability to market are stronger because of the confidence I gained and I’ve very quickly found new clients.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Why is this intensive only $197?

      Straight up: I’m generously giving over 12 hours of training and experience for a tiny fraction of what it is worth. The reason is two-fold. While I love and am proud of the coaching industry, I do also believe that coaches need better skills and to know how to do depth work. It’s what our clients need, especially with everything we’re holding as a people these days. And I’m committed to making this important training as accessible as possible. Making it super accessible also gives me an opportunity to give you a peek of what we do inside of the Sacred Depths Transformational Practitioner Certification — I want as many smart, ethical, depth-oriented practitioners as possible to know about it!

      I’m a seasoned and accomplished practitioner. 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 share and model ADVANCED skills at The Somatic & Depth Coaching Intensive – you will be delighted with what you learn!

      I haven't yet started working with clients. Is this training for me?

      The Somatic & Depth Coaching Intensive 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!

      I’m not a coach. I am a [massage therapist, 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 result, then this information and practice will serve you.

      Are recordings available? Do I need to attend all 5 days?

      Replays will be available for a few days—but this is designed to be experienced live.

      While I HIGHLY recommend attending the full event (what we cover is sooo good!), I understand that life happens and you may need to miss some of the event. That’s OK. Each session is filled to the brim with content and you will still receive a LOT if you can’t come to each session.

      Will there be a chance to ask questions during the training?

      Yes! Your questions and shares are an important part of these 5 days. Ask ANYTHING you want, and I will answer. I will coach you, brainstorm with you, consult….and also you will learn so much and feel so held by the other questions and shares in the community.

      A Note from Joanna
      Over the last 25 years, I’ve watched thoughtful, skilled coaches struggle — not because they lacked ability, but because they were never taught the deeper layers of transformation.

      I created this training to share what usually stays unspoken.

      Not to make coaching harder — but more honest, more ethical, and more effective.

      If you feel the call toward depth, I would love to have you with us.
