The Whole Therapistâ˘
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?Â
-01-Youâve learned the importance of nervous system regulation - but not how to actually apply this knowledge with clients.
You understand the why-Â 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.
Â
-02-You want to integrate holistic tools like breathwork or movement but worry: Am I crossing a line?
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.
Â
-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 arenât 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, youâre exactly where you need to be.
Iâve spent years dedicated to helping therapists confidently and naturally integrate holistic practices into their clinical work.
Â

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)Â
  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!

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.Â

Why Holistic Integration Matters Now More Than Ever
 Therapy is evolvingâbecause 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 embodied healing.
As clinicians, staying rooted in evidence-based care while expanding your tools isnât just a professional growth opportunityâŚitâs 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 -Â thereâs no perfect moment to start. Thereâs only now.
You donât need to overhaul your approach.
You simply need a clear, grounded path to weave holistic practices into the incredible work youâre 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 client buy-in grow as they begin to trust the process - and themselves - more fully.

What's IncludedÂ
#1-Â 9 comprehensive video modules
Learn at your own pace with thoughtfully designed sessions that blend evidence-based theory with practical application. Each module builds on the previous one, giving you both the research foundation and the clinical skills you need to integrate these approaches confidently.
#2- Monthly live calls with me (yes, the real me)
Once a month, we hop on a call together where you can bring your "wait, can I actually say this to my client?" questions. Think of it as clinical consultation meets integrative therapy support group. Come with your real cases, your scope-of-practice worries, and your "am I doing this right?" moments.
#3- Workbooks that you'll actually use
Not just another PDF to download and forget about. These are the tools, scripts, and resources I wish someone had given me when I was figuring this stuff out. Everything you need to feel confident and stay ethical while being genuinely helpful.
This isn't just another course you'll buy and never finish - it's ongoing support for therapists who want to do better work while staying grounded and ethical.

Let's look at what we'll cover
Module 1:Â Root to Rise: Laying the Groundwork
This opening module lays the groundwork with the science and biology behind holistic interventions, which includes exploring the nervous system, specific research that supports the use of whole-health integration, therapist co-regulation, and how providers can continue to engage in self-inquiry in session.
Module 2: Safe Soil: Trauma Sensitive Language, Dissociation, & Honoring Identities
This module explores how to skillfully guide holistic practices using intentional tone, pacing, and trauma-sensitive language. We explore considerations for diverse clients, general safety and scope of practice, dissociation, and contraindications for lifestyle interventions. Â
Module 3: Holding the Thread: Using Ritual and Routine to Sustain Growth
This module explores how to use ritual and routineâboth in-session and in clients' daily lives - to create meaningful continuity and support lasting change. You'll learn to frame small practices as powerful, track progress with flexibility (not perfection), and celebrate even one-time wins, while integrating tools like activity logs, apps, and fine-tuning the process.
Module 4:The Ethics of Self-Care: Preventing Burnout Through Integration
This module applies the principles from modules 1-3 directly to therapist well-being and professional sustainability. You'll explore how nervous system regulation, trauma-sensitive practices, and intentional routines can prevent burnout while maintaining ethical boundaries. Learn to model the integration you're teaching clients while protecting your own professional longevity.
Module 5: Breath as Medicine: Teaching Foundational Practices
In this module, youâll learn to guide clients through foundational breath practices like basic and diaphragmatic breathing, with a focus on safety and adaptability. These tools will help clients regulate and connect with their bodies in a trauma-sensitive, accessible way.Â
Module 6: Nourishing the Whole: The Role of Lifestyle in Mental and Physical Health
And 3 More Modules To Come!
Hello, I'm Shanti
Every therapist deserves to feel supported, grounded, and confident in the work they love.
I created The Whole Therapistâ˘Â because I know how easy it is - especially for caring, committed clinicians - to feel overwhelmed when trying to bring mind-body practices into sessions.
Youâre not lacking dedication. Youâre 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 seen - as both a clinician and a human being.
You donât have to start over. You donât have to be someone else.
You already have the heart of a Whole Therapist.
Now, letâs build the skills to match.
I canât wait to meet you inside.

The next round launches early Fall 2025
And honestly? You're going to want to be first in line.
I know, I know. Another waitlist. But this one's different because while you're waiting, you're not just... waiting. You're getting the good stuff.
Why early Fall 2025 matters
This isn't just another course launch date I picked out of thin air. I've been refining this program based on feedback from our beta cohort (who absolutely loved it, by the way), and early fall gives me time to make it even better for you.
Plus, let's be real - early fall means you can dive in without the holiday chaos. Just you, your curiosity about integrative approaches, and a community of therapists who get it.
