The Whole Therapist™
A holistic integration course for psychotherapists ready to deepen their care- and their impact!
As clinicians, we know the mind-body connection is vital, yet most therapists lack the training and support to confidently integrate wholistic interventions into therapy.
Do any of these resonate with your practice?
-01-You’ve learned the importance of nervous system regulation - but not how to actually apply this knowledge with clients.
You understand the why- but the how still feels unclear.
Many trainings explain why nervous system regulation matters, but few show you how to confidently lead clients through it in a clinical setting.
-02-You want to integrate holistic tools like breathwork or movement but worry: Am I staying in my scope of practice?
You care about ethics and scope of practice - and it keeps you second-guessing.
You're passionate about holistic healing, but unsure if using certain tools in session is appropriate or if it veers into other professions' territory.
-03-Your clients rarely follow through between session-and you're not sure how to inspire engagement.
You give your clients powerful tools - so why aren’t they using them?
Even when clients nod along in session, they often struggle to integrate breathwork or regulation practices into their daily lives.
...If any of this resonates with you, you’re exactly where you need to be.
I’ve spent years dedicated to helping therapists confidently and naturally integrate holistic practices into their clinical work.
Therapists are expanding their tools- and the science backs them up!
Integrating mind-body practices leads to:
More effective nervous system regulation
Deeper trauma processing
Developing a heightened awareness of internal body sensations (noticing & naming)
Fostering the creation of new neural pathways
Experiencing "embodied insights" - moving from intellectual understanding to true bodily awareness of change.

Dr. Shanti brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to the class and presents the material in a manner that is very down-to-earth. She leaves you wanting more!
A.D.
She's down to earth and realistic and I appreciate it. How incredibly useful and life-changing being able to utilize this with clients...I love re-orienting, the gentle reminders of why (all that beautiful research), and how to go about it. Languaging was really important, both hearing another's and finding my own.
Why Holistic Integration Matters Now More Than Ever
Therapy is evolving—because clients are evolving.
More than ever, people are seeking care that honors both mind and body. They're looking for therapists who can guide them beyond insight alone - into practices that foster true regulation, resilience, and healing.
As clinicians, staying rooted in evidence-based care while expanding your tools isn’t just a professional growth opportunity…it’s how we meet the deeper needs of those we serve.
- Mind-body interventions enhance outcomes, deepen client engagement, and support long-term transformation.
- The demand is growing - for therapists who can confidently offer integrative care without overstepping scope or sacrificing ethics.
- And the truth is - there’s no perfect moment to start. There’s only now.
You don’t need to overhaul your approach.
You simply need a clear, grounded path to weave holistic practices into the incredible work you’re already doing.
Imagine...
-
Feeling confident as you integrate breathwork, movement, or mind-body practices into your sessions - without second-guessing your scope.
-
Noticing your own sense of calm and presence deepening - even during intense or complex sessions.
-
Hearing clients reflect back how these practices are helping them between sessions, not just during them.
- Watching clients grow as they begin to trust the process - and themselves - more fully.

Let's look at what we'll cover
Module 1: Root to Rise: Laying the Groundwork
Discover the essential foundation for integrating holistic practices into therapy. This module explores the nervous system, Polyvagal Theory, and the science behind whole-health interventions, giving you the "why" before the "how."
Module 2: Safe Soil: Trauma Sensitive Language, Dissociation, & Honoring Identities
Learn how to skillfully guide holistic practices using intentional tone, pacing, and trauma-sensitive language. This lesson explores the art of "languaging" and provides a gentle framework for finding your own voice while supporting clients through their experiences.
Module 3: Holding the Thread: Using Ritual and Routine to Sustain Growth
Explore the real barriers to sustained behavior change and discover why minimal change is exceptional. This lesson examines common human and therapist obstacles, the neuroscience of habit formation, and practical approaches to creating sustainable rituals and routines.
Module 4:The Inner Work of Being a Healer
Explore burnout as both a systemic and ethical issue, examining the wounded healer archetype and the concept of "unparalleled paralleling." This lesson addresses how unresolved personal wounds, institutional pressures, and compassion fatigue affect both client outcomes and therapist integrity.
Module 5: Cultural Humility and Ethics
Explore the critical distinction between cultural competence and cultural humility as they apply to whole-health interventions. This module addresses power dynamics, intersecting identities, minority stress, and ethical frameworks from NASW and APA, while examining appropriation, stereotyping, and how to co-create truly inclusive care.
Module 6: Our Inner Landscape
Module 7: Nourishing the Whole

This lesson covers movement research showing significant mental health benefits and provides guidance on both lifestyle movement and incorporating gentle movement into therapy sessions.

Hello, I'm Shanti
Every therapist deserves to feel supported, grounded, and confident in the work they love.
I created The Whole Therapist™ because I know how easy it is - especially for caring, committed clinicians - to feel overwhelmed when trying to bring mind-body practices into sessions.
You’re not lacking dedication. You’re not behind. You simply deserve a clear, thoughtful path that honors your integrity, your skill, and the way you already show up for your clients.
In my years of working with therapists, one truth has become clear: When you feel nurtured, trusted, and resourced - you bring out the very best in yourself and in those you serve.
This course is designed to be that kind of space.
A space where:
You can honor both your clinical integrity and your passion for holistic healing.
You can build new skills with encouragement, not criticism.
You feel deeply supported - as both a clinician and a human being.
You don’t have to start over. You don’t have to be someone else.
You already have the heart of a Whole Therapist.
Now, let’s build the skills to match.
I can’t wait to meet you inside.
