In 2019 Chaandani Khan’s world was turned upside down by a brain injury caused in a car accident, which left her navigating persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). Making tea, washing clothes and sending emails became monumental challenges and her familiar, fast-paced lifestyle appeared impossibly far out of reach. She worked hard in her recovery appointments yet was left feeling unseen, unheard, and unsupported overall, in a system full of gaps. Through self-expression, intentional personal growth and key strategy development, she began reclaiming her life. This journey sparked a mission: to help others avoid the same struggles. Her business - Return to Life - was born from this fire, ensuring PPCS survivors are equipped, understood, and empowered to rebuild their lives – on their terms.
