ABOUT ME

HELLO AND WELCOME! MY NAME IS SHANELY BARNING, AND I AM THRILLED YOU'RE HERE.

FOR OVER 30 YEARS, I HAVE BEEN PASSIONATELY ENGAGED IN RECIPE DEVELOPMENT, TRYING AND TESTING MYRIAD DIETS AND CULINARY TECHNIQUES. THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY, I DISCOVERED THAT THE SIMPLICITY AND WHOLESOMENESS OF PLANT-BASED FOODS HAVE GUIDED ME TO MY HEALTHIEST AND MOST VIBRANT SELF, ESPECIALLY IN MY POST-MENOPAUSE YEARS. THIS PROFOUND REALISATION HAS SPARKED MY DESIRE TO STUDY, SHARE, AND EDUCATE OTHER WOMEN ON THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF WHOLE, PLANT-BASED NUTRITION.

NAVIGATING LIFE'S DIFFERENT STAGES, ESPECIALLY MENOPAUSE, CAN BE A CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE. HOWEVER, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT WITH THE RIGHT NUTRITIONAL CHOICES, IT'S POSSIBLE TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE. I'M EAGER TO DEMONSTRATE HOW EMBRACING A PLANT-BASED, NUTRIENT-DENSE LIFESTYLE CAN NOURISH OUR BODIES AND UPLIFT OUR SPIRITS DURING THESE INCREDIBLE MIDLIFE YEARS.

BEYOND MY COMMITMENT TO FOOD, I HOLD TWO PASSIONS CLOSE TO MY HEART: EXPERIMENTING WITH VARIOUS CULINARY TECHNIQUES AND IMMERSING MYSELF IN THE DIVERSE, RICH TAPESTRY OF CULTURES THROUGH TRAVEL. EACH NEW RECIPE AND TRAVEL EXPERIENCE BRINGS ME IMMENSE JOY, TURNING MY KITCHEN INTO MY MEDITATIVE AND CREATIVE SANCTUARY. THESE ADVENTURES IN GASTRONOMY AND WANDERING NOT ONLY BROADEN MY HORIZONS BUT ALSO CONTINUALLY FUEL MY INSPIRATION AND GRATITUDE.

I AM DELIGHTED TO SHARE THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU, INSPIRING AND GUIDING YOU TO EXPERIENCE HOW POWERFUL AND REVITALISING IT CAN BE TO NOURISH OUR BODIES FROM WITHIN. LET’S EXPLORE AND SAVOUR THE REMARKABLE POSSIBILITIES THAT AWAIT US IN OUR KITCHENS AND BEYOND.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND LETTING ME BE A PART OF YOUR JOURNEY TO THRIVING INTO YOUR INCREDIBLE MIDLIFE YEARS.

WITH WARMTH AND GRATITUDE,

Shanely xo
