Co-create Life-Changing Results in Your Client Work (& Powerfully Grow Your Business!) through the Art of Human Transformation

IN A WORLD WHERE ANYONE CAN CALL THEMSELVES A COACH...

There are those of us who know we must go DEEPER.

To rise above the noise of "good" service to total excellence, to shine the light of truth & clarity into the dark craggy corners of the psyche of those we are here to serve…
  
To intimately understand human nature and the very human tendencies that keep clients stuck in circumstances that they don't like or want.

This isn't about surface level coaching. This is about cultivating the skills, expertise and confidence to go deep with your clients and activate somatic & energetic change. So that you can co-create RESULTS & real and lasting transformation. Knock-their-socks-off Transformation.

So that you can look your clients in the eye, knowing you can handle their deepest fears & resistances, and deliver on your promise to help them experience something new... something better.

This is that invitation to go deeper with your clients...

to support them through their toughest obstacles, their biggest fears, and towards their greatest desires and potential.

WHEN YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU STAND OUT, YOU SELL MORE, AND YOUR WORK IS WAY MORE VALUED.

  • If you’ve ever wondered if you’re actually creating lasting, transformative results in the lives of your clients… or if you're just skating over the surface of their patterns and fears.
  • ​If you are nervous about client resistance, procrastination, fear, self-sabotage, and defensiveness...  
  • ​​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...   
  • ​If you do great work... but don't always understand how you did it, what yielded the breakthrough... and if you can do it again...
  • ​If you don't know how to respond when clients disengage from your work, blame you or create conflict as defense mechanisms...
  • If you know you want become masterful at working somatically, in trauma-informed ways that support client regulation...
  • ​If your work and business are good... but you know they are meant to be exceptional...
  • ​If you desire to have more confidence in yourself and your skills, charge more aligned rates, be more bold in your outreach...

This invitation is for YOU.

If you are already working with clients, through Sacred Depths you can expect to create:

with clients who feel your work together is MAGICAL, come back again and again, and recommend you whole-heartedly to everyone they know?

Then you MUST become masterful at transformation.

Mastery of your craft is the ULTIMATE Marketing & Business Success Strategy.

Why? Because the self-development industry is totally saturated & done with "OK" practitioners.

I invite you to become an EXTRAORDINARY practitioner, whose clients & community deeply trust you because you are ethical, extraordinary, and know exactly how to co-create client results.

"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."

Before the course I had a lot of self-doubt -- I had internal 'knowing' but the doubt sprang from not knowing how to use that knowing and how to interact in the world with it, as a whole part of me. Because my 'wiring' is so in line with the underlying basis and assumptions of what you teach, AND because the course gives me an exceptionally practical way for bringing the teachings out into the world, I now feel truly whole and strong. I get to claim something that has always been a part of me and feel there is a place for me professionally as I am in the world. This is a precious floor of confidence. I'm integrating at a heart level and in the last few weeks, I've been able to speak up more and be seen more as who I am in groups. That is a shift.

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.

Here we are seeking Mastery & Deep Client Satisfaction…

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,

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.
