The 2025 Holistic Practitioner Awards Finalists are here ✨
Meet the practitioners shaping holistic care in Australia
Today, I’m honoured to share something that feels deeply meaningful for the entire holistic field.
The finalists for the 2025 Holistic Practitioner Awards
Over the past three weeks, we received an outpouring of nominations from all across Australia, from clients, students, colleagues, and practitioners themselves. Reading through each submission was humbling. So many of you shared stories about the practitioners who helped you rebuild trust in your body, navigate grief, find clarity, heal and so much more.
These awards were created for exactly this reason.
The holistic field holds extraordinary talent but rarely receives the recognition it deserves. These finalists represent the depth, integrity, and heart of holistic care in Australia, and it’s time we celebrate them properly.
