We were taught that the mind is where healing happens. But we know…

 

...70% of the population has experienced trauma,
 
and the body stores trauma.
 
A regulated nervous system is essential for deep and true healing.
 
Practices like yoga, breathwork and sound healing help to regulate the nervous system.
 
Healing happens when we support all layers of the client: mind, body, and spirit.

Embodied Healing. Ethical Integration. Liberated Practice.

More Than a Conference

This Is A Return to Wholeness

The Holistic Therapist Conference is a 3-day, in-person and virtual gathering for therapists, mental health professionals, and healers who are ready to shift the paradigm of mental health by integrating holistic, somatic, trauma-informed, and unconventional approaches into the way they live, practice, and lead.

This conference is designed to support the whole healer not just your clinical mind, but your body, your spirit, your mission, and your nervous system.

Over three intentional days, we will learn, restore, and connect in a space that honors both your personal transformation and your professional expansion. Come to be held. Come to be seen. Come to return to yourself.

Mental health is evolving, and so must our approach to healing. In this powerful keynote, LeNaya Smith Crawford introduces The Holistic Therapist Method™, a signature framework that integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based somatic practices like yoga, breathwork, and sound healing.Drawing from her decade of experience in the mental health and wellness space; as a licensed therapist, healer, and educator, LeNaya invites attendees to explore what it truly means to become a holistic therapist. This work goes far beyond learning new tools. It is a call to embody a new way of practicing that honors the nervous system, neuroscience, and the soul.Together, we will explore the shift from traditional models to a more embodied, expansive, and ethically aligned path. You will walk away understanding that becoming a holistic therapist is not just a professional decision. It is a paradigm shift rooted in deeper self-awareness, skill building, and community-centered care.Whether you are new to holistic work or deep in your integration journey, this keynote will expand your perspective, reaffirm your purpose, and offer a vision of mental health rooted in liberation, embodiment, and holistic expansion.
