We Are Women Podcast

About
🎙️ In this episode of the We Are Women Podcast, Shannon Chawla...

…shares her extraordinary journey from professional dancer to pain specialist and holistic healing practitioner. After a life-changing spinal injury ended her dance career, Shannon discovered the transformative power of acupuncture—and a new calling to help others heal deeply from physical and emotional pain.

With over 25 years of experience as an acupuncturist, wellness coach, and founder of Authentic Healing Wellness, Shannon blends ancient wisdom with modern science to help people reconnect with their bodies, rewire their relationship with pain, and restore balance in their lives.

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Shannon and Janeen explore how women can honour their health, manage burnout, set boundaries, and find strength in starting again. Shannon shares her story of raising two boys—one with Down syndrome—while building a thriving business and living proof that transformation is always possible.

đź’ˇ Three Key Takeaways


    Balance is our superpower—when we learn to use it wisely.
    Gently repeat after me: starting again and again is always the path to transformation.
    Don’t wait to level the field—create the one you want.
