From IAF pilot to pranic healer: Paridhi Singh's extraordinary journey

Paridhi Singh broke barriers as the first pilot from Indore to join the Indian Air Force (IAF) in 1995. Over the years, her career has spanned aviation, sports, and alternative healing—each path marked by determination and skill. Singh’s journey began in the IAF, where she flew complex missions. She executed aerobatics, deep sorties, and island landings with precision. Alongside flying, she became part of the IAF skydiving team, completing 85 jumps.

Before her aviation career, she excelled in sports. A national-level basketball player, she also competed in judo at the same level. Her athletic versatility extended to winter sports, where she later became a competitive skier and an international white-water rafting guide. Beyond physical pursuits, Singh embraced the arts. As a trained Kathak dancer, she performed at Indore’s Sangeet Samaroh at Gandhi Hall. Her creative and disciplined approach carried into her later work. After leaving the IAF, she shifted to alternative healing. Now a pranic healer, she treats clients in the US and UK remotely—using only a photograph, name, age, and stated intention. Her practice focuses on serious conditions like cancer, depression, and autism. Singh also works as a certified life coach and motivational speaker. She delivers talks on happiness, habit formation, and personal growth. Her husband, a retired Air Force officer, currently serves at the Madhya Pradesh Flying Club.

From military aviation to healing and coaching, Singh’s career reflects a rare blend of discipline and adaptability. Her methods in pranic healing and motivational speaking continue to reach people across continents. Today, her work bridges physical skill, spiritual practice, and personal development.
