🎙️ 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.
