Pallavi Rajankar Gunaseelan

Pallavi Rajankar grew up in Chennai, India and was deeply impacted by her early childhood experiences of witnessing individuals with mental health challenges. These experiences shaped her professional and personal life. Pallavi was always invested in the world of psychology and went on to become a counselling psychologist from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Banyan Academy of Leadership in Mental Health). Since then, Pallavi has published numerous research papers in esteemed journals and has worked with the University of Oxford, on sociological issues in the South Asian context. Her previous work was with ‘The Banyan’, offering hospital-based care for homeless women with mental health issues to recover and re-enter stable housing. More recently, Pallavi delved into the mind-body connection, which has led her towards the path of yoga. She is now an Internationally Licensed Yoga teacher who marries Eastern and Western modalities. She practices and offers her clients holistic health solutions by combining psychological therapy, yoga and movement as tools for body and mind healing. An empathetic presence, Pallavi journeys with people as they connect with themselves on deeper levels to unlock health, happiness and abundance in their lives.
