Shawniel Chamanlal

I'm Shawniel Chamanlal, an award-winning licensed clinical social worker, business coach, and CEO of Healing Springs Wellness Center—a multi-location holistic counseling and wellness practice. With over 15 years of clinical expertise, I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology from Southern Connecticut State University and a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University.
My journey into entrepreneurship began after overcoming significant personal trauma following a broken engagement over a decade ago. That pivotal moment ignited my healing journey and inspired me to dream bigger than I ever imagined. Today, I've built a thriving multiple six-figure practice with two locations and a diverse team of 10+ licensed professionals, all while maintaining a 3-day work week that allows me to enjoy motherhood, travel, and genuine work-life balance.

As a minority woman in business, I'm passionate about representation and breaking down the limiting belief that financial success and social work are mutually exclusive. I've been honored with the Black People's Honors Award and the Health Care & Life Sciences Award, and my insights have been featured in Yahoo!, Psychology Today, and on platforms like "Checking In" with Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams.
