Dr. Renetta Weaver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, AI Consultant, and global thought leader pioneering the integration of mental health and AI. She is the founder of Total Transitions Ministry and Girl, It’s a New Day, where she empowers individuals to embrace happiness off the scale—whether from weight, societal validation, or outdated measures of merit.
A doctoral candidate in Human Services and Organisational Leadership Management, she is a sought-after speaker, educator, and caregiver. Her AI-driven coaching and training systems help mental health professionals work smarter, not harder, ensuring healing is accessible, sustainable, and struggle-free—so they, too, can live the soft life with ease and purpose.
“You can’t heal from a place of brokenness.” This guiding principle shapes Dr. Renetta Weaver’s work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, educator, and thought leader. With over two decades of experience, she champions the philosophy that individuals must first heal themselves before effectively serving others.
This belief led her to pioneer the SWAI Method (Social Work and AI), merging self-healing practices with cutting-edge technology to transform social work and mental health. As the demands on mental health professionals grow, burnout rates range between 35% and 54%, affecting care quality.
Dr. Weaver’s SWAI Method integrates AI-driven tools to reduce burnout, streamline administrative tasks, and allow social workers to focus on their clients. Her approach enhances human connection rather than replacing it, utilising AI-assisted scheduling, automated case management, and digital therapeutic interventions to sustain professionals’ passion and well-being. Beyond AI, Dr. Weaver identified a critical gap in mental health services—bariatric care.
Historically, social workers have had little involvement in weight loss surgery, despite its significant emotional and psychological impact. Recognising this need, she founded Your Bariatric Practice, equipping clinicians with tools to support patients before, during, and after surgery.
With 10-20% of bariatric patients experiencing weight regain, her holistic approach ensures that transformation is not just physical but also mental and emotional. Dr. Weaver’s mission extends beyond individual practice into global education and empowerment.
In Senegal, where only one in three girls advances to secondary school, she has instilled leadership and mental health strategies to help young girls overcome barriers like early marriage and financial hardship. Her academic contributions include speaking on AI and mental health at the Global Research Conferences (GRD) held at King’s College London, furthering international discourse.
Recognised as Entrepreneur of the Year by the London Organisation of Skills Development (LOSD), she is cementing her status as a global innovator. Dr. Weaver is redefining success in mental health. Through her AI-driven enterprise, she offers podcasting, coaching, and automation services, enabling mental health professionals to expand their reach while maintaining their well-being.
Her work represents a paradigm shift- where technology and mental health evolve together, self-healing is prioritised, and professionals serve with clarity, compassion, and resilience. Dr. Renetta Weaver is not just transforming lives- she is shaping the future of social work, mental health, and AI.
