One important aspect of the practice of massage is becoming aware of what has been hidden in our bodies and minds. Jerry Donoghue has developed a beautiful and gentle technique for getting in touch with what’s below the surface, and in this sense he’s a masterful teacher. I’m grateful for the dimensions he’s helped me explore in myself and for his wise instruction on how to hold space for others in this way.
Jerry is a thoughtful, grounded, playful and experienced teacher. I learned from him about holding not only one-on-one energy with clients but also how to hold group energy with a class online. He is a wealth of knowledge and combined with his intuition and insightfulness offers an exceptional program for beginners as well as experienced coaches. I would recommend the course to anyone wanting to stand above their peers in the coaching world. His combination of psychology, mindfulness, and IFS creates a coaching program that is rock solid in supporting your clients’ successful transformation which he values most. You, your friends, your family, and your clients will get your monies’ worth and more. As a new coach on the scene, I feel like Jerry’s course prepared me well to step up with practical tools, confidence, and humility.
This Inner Presence Program is the ultimate investment in yourself.
- The Math Makes Sense: Let’s say your massage rate is $65 an hour. After taking the 9-month course, if you start seeing just two coaching clients a week at double your massage rate, you’ll be making $1040 extra a month…and those 8 hours won’t be taxing on your physical energy. You’ll make back your investment in just a few months. It’s really a no-brainer.
- Your Increased Level of Effectiveness: This program will support you in making deep, life-changing contributions to your clients…which as you know, feels amazing! The return on investment of your increased effectiveness is your clients become long-time clients and refer others to your practice.
- Your Own Personal/Spiritual Growth: You’re investing in your own personal/spiritual growth. You can’t participate in this program without a significant shift in awareness and seeing some long-standing challenges being transformed. Hard to put a price tag on the increase in peace, inner spaciousness, and self-compassion. All those gains will be passed on to your clients.

Half-Day Kickstart Video Conference To Start The Program
This half-day video conference program will be the official start of the program on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023. We’ll come together and get to know each other and create a safe container. We’ll also explore what is
20 Interactive Video Conference Group Learning Sessions
We will come together as a group via video conferencing. Groups sessions last 2 hours. The specific dates and times will be decided by the group and will work for everyone. These two hours group video conferencing sessions will be about teaching the core curriculum of 16 modules that will support you in becoming a professional depth coach.
We’ll also do Q & A time, and/or demonstrations of Inner Presence work. We will co-create an experiential learning environment that includes activities, exercises, demonstrations, practice coaching, handouts and more.

and emotional connections practices. - an audio and video recording of the group conference to review. Several students have reported they went back over the course after they finish the course and got a lot more the second time around.
3 Private Coaching Session With Jerry
These sessions will give you a sense of what your clients will experience in an Inner Presence session and reinforce what you are learning in the course. You’ll have an opportunity to use these sessions to give attention to anything inside that gets stirred up in the course or in your daily life. You can use them to do deep work on yourself.
As you are probably aware, the deeper the inner work you do with yourself, the deeper you can go with your clients. The more present you are to yourself, the more present you will be to others.
In fact, your effectiveness as an Inner Presence coach will increase exponentially when tending to your own challenges and opening up more space inside.
10 Self-Paced Video Training Programs
These videos focus on a Relational Inner Map and give you a precise way to tease apart different aspect of the client that emerge in a session. These videos are packed full of useful information that takes people years to learn. Jerry has condensed and organized it all so that you can get the benefit of his years of study of in a very short time.
Once you internalize this information you’ll be poised to effectively contribute to clients because you’ll hear and see things you would have not otherwise heard or seen without the understanding of this Relational Inner Map. You’ll get the skills and confidence it takes to handle anything that comes up.
Look, you could spend 15 years of your life sifting through all the eastern enlightenment literature, the depth psychology modalities, and the compassion training as Jerry has done to come up with something equally effective, but why do that when he has done it for you already. You just need to plug yourself into the existing program and reap the benefits.
