How Chronic Pain Led Pallavi to Holistic Wellness

Pallavi's journey through chronic pain began with physical agony, but led to spiritual transformation. She grew up in India with a deep love of dance that had turned into a passionate career in her early 20s. On a fateful day about 6 months after her marriage in 2011, she fell from her bike while racing her cousins and went sliding down the road. This accident ended her dance career, leaving her in extreme pain that did not improve with time, baffling her doctors. Pallavi's situation expanded far beyond chronic pain - it became mysteriously difficult for her to use the right side of her body. She struggled to sleep, get out of bed and feed herself. Doctors had no idea how to help her, prescribing a large cocktail of medications out of desperation. Pallavi's turning point came when she overheard a doctor saying that she wasn't actually in pain, and just wanted attention. This made her extremely angry, and she vowed to find a way to overcome this mysterious affliction. Pallavi began to learn everything she could about energy healing and holistic wellness. She soon realized that the more she meditated, the less pain she was in. After around 3.5 months of meditation, she was pain free. On this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Pallavi shares how her harrowing journey with chronic pain has fueled her new purpose in life: to lead people with chronic pain and chronic illness through holistic wellness practices. She tells us about getting diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years after her accident, finally having a name to put to her mysterious pain. She also discusses the deep spiritual journey that resulted from this experience, learning to listen to ancient wisdom that helped transform her life. She now provides a healing space as a meditation, yoga and energy healing practitioner.
