See If This Training Is Right for You
 

If you’ve been curious about whole-health work, but hesitant to invest in another vague or trend-driven training, you’re not alone.

 

Many therapists want to integrate lifestyle, nervous system, and mind-body approaches into their work.
What stops them is not interest. It’s discernment.

Questions like:

  • Will this stay within scope of practice?

  • Is this grounded in research or just theory?

  • Will this actually translate to real clinical work?

  • Is this worth my CE time and money?

The Whole Therapist™ was created for clinicians who want clear answers, ethical guidance, and practical application.

This is not a trend-based training.

The Whole Therapist™ is grounded in research, clinical experience, and ethical decision-making.

  • Led by a licensed psychologist with a PhD and two decades of clinical practice
  • Designed to support scope-appropriate integration
  • Built for therapists who value rigor, humility, and discernment
  • Focused on how to think clinically, not just what to do

This training is not about collecting modalities.
It is about learning how to integrate whole-health work responsibly into the therapy you already practice.

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 saw clinicians who were deeply committed to their clients, yet unsure how to integrate whole-health practices without crossing ethical lines or feeling overwhelmed.

This training is an extension of my clinical work.
It was designed to be thoughtful, research-informed, and respectful of the complexity of real therapy.

You don’t need to become someone else as a clinician.
You just need the skills and clarity to match the heart you already bring to your work.

"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!"

"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. "
