Nutrition for Women
Nourish your body & mind
Holistic nutrition is about more than just eating healthy foods. It's also about nourishing your body and mind from the inside out. When you eat the right foods and take care of your body, you'll have more energy, focus, and vitality.
Think of it this way with eating whole foods vs. supplements: " It's like going to the symphony-the first violinist is magnificent but when you put the whole orchestra behind the first violinist, it makes something magical, " Salge Blake (From the National Geographic article, "Some vitamins and minerals simply work better together")

Olá!
My name is Shannon. I reside in Ericiera, Portugal with my husband and daughter. We love playing outside, traveling, and eating good food!
My passion for nutrition has taken me on a journey of many years. Through my thirties and into my forties, navigating pregnancy for the first time, having miscarriages, and learning that I had an autoimmune disease. In the years learning about my own body I thought I was being healthy. Eventually (through holistic approaches)I learned that I was actually not fuelling my body correctly. I wasn’t eating foods that were specific to my body. I was eating food that I knew was generally healthy. In the Functional Nutrition Alliance, there is a saying, “One persons food can be another persons poison.” I believe that food is a powerful tool that can be used to heal the body and mind. I guide nutrition as a whole body approach, as a life style scan, diving into who you are as an individual and your everyday routine.
I am a certified Functional Nutrition Counsellor, through the Functional Nutrition Alliance. Through my training, my education, and my personal strifes in learning nutrition; I have learned how to give back to my community in my own unique way. Providing dietary and lifestyle guidance, while ensuring that my clients are heard, seen, and nurtured in a world where personalised attention to preventative care can otherwise be looked over.
I am here to team up with you and your health care provider to do the work necessary, to find the root causes of what might be causing a level of suffering. We can start this journey together and it all starts with the power and healing of food!
