Introducing the 2025 Holistic Practitioner Awards 🏆
Celebrating those who hold space for others
Some of the most profound healing work happening in Australia goes unrecognised. Practitioners who show up with integrity every day, holding space for others, transforming lives quietly, and evolving their craft with dedication.
These are the people who deserve to be celebrated.
That’s why I’m excited and proud to introduce the 2025 Holistic Practitioner Awards.
This is the first recognition program designed specifically to honour excellence within the holistic community: from energy healers to bodyworkers, from traditional medicine practitioners to movement therapists, from seasoned practitioners to rising stars just beginning their journey.
Why we created these awards
When I founded Bodhi Holistic Hub, it was to make it easier for people to find and book holistic practitioners who bring true care to their work.
Now, three years later, with close to 200 practitioners on the platform, I see even more clearly how much excellence exists in this field and how little of it is publicly recognised.
These awards are our way of changing that.
Because the holistic community deserves meaningful recognition.
Because clients deserve guidance to find genuine, skilled practitioners.
And because the people holding space for transformation every day deserve to be seen, celebrated, and supported.
This is how we elevate the entire field - together.
