Private Enquiries
Shimalia offers a private, long-term approach to health and longevity, working with a limited number of individuals and families each year. Please share a short overview of your interest. All correspondence is treated with care.
At Shimalia, health is bespoke. Every individual arrives with a distinct biology, history, rhythm, and capacity for change. Your health strategy should reflect that — quietly, intelligently, and without excess.
Shimalia designs tailored health and longevity strategies, commissioned one-to-one and refined over time. Each is grounded in modern biomarker science and translated into a way of living that feels both elevated and sustainable.

Philosophy
Shimalia's philosophy blends modern science with ancient wisdom — honouring Hippocrates’ timeless principle “Let food be thy medicine" with the belief that healing chronic symptoms and conditions through nutrition and lifestyle is not only possible, but often the most effective and sustainable path to genuine recovery.
Shimalia's mission is simple: to help people feel better, faster. Too many people live with sub-optimum health which hinders happiness, potential and quality of life. The root causes - often toxic/viral load, nutrient depletion, adrenal strain, and/or a dysregulated nervous system - are relatively easy to fix. Shimalia’s work empowers individuals to understand how their bodies truly function, to understand root-causes and to use nutrition, herbs, and targeted lifestyle science to restore vibrancy, clarity, and long-term wellbeing.

A Nature-Led Intelligence
While many modern health approaches rely on pharmaceutical intervention, Shimalia works from first principles—returning to the original biological sources from which medicine itself evolved. By using food, plants, and whole biological systems in their intact form, the work preserves potency, synergy, and tolerance, aligning human health with the regulating intelligence of nature.

The Founder
Shimalia was founded by Joanna Parkin as a private health and longevity concierge, taking a systems-based, non-pharmaceutical approach to preserving long-term vitality, resilience, and biological performance.
The work integrates advanced biomarker intelligence with nervous system regulation and selective lifestyle and environmental protocols, supporting health optimisation over time and restoring biological coherence before dysfunction arises.
Joanna’s background spans integrative nutritional science, advanced botanical therapeutics, and applied consciousness research through her work with the Monroe Institute. This informs a nuanced understanding of how perception, stress, and nervous system state influence biological regulation and recovery.
Shimalia’s methodology is informed by the botanical origins of pharmacology, recognising that many modern medicines were first identified in plants before being isolated or synthesised for standardisation and patent protection. The work returns directly to the original source—using food, plants, and whole biological systems in their intact form, where potency, synergy, and biological compatibility are preserved, and tolerance is naturally supported.
These principles are complemented by established nutritional, detoxification, and metabolic frameworks developed by leading figures in holistic and functional health, applied selectively and in alignment with individual biology. The approach has been refined through long-term private practice with individuals and families, spanning both optimisation and complex recovery. This depth of applied understanding underpins Shimalia’s conviction that enduring health is best supported when human biology is aligned with the intelligence of nature.
The work is integrated with contemporary diagnostics, discreet monitoring, and evidence-led optimisation strategies, with a continued focus on restoring biological function and reducing long-term reliance on symptomatic intervention.

A Measured Perspective on Longevity
As interest in longevity accelerates, there is growing attention on interventions such as blood-based therapies, stem cell treatments and pharmaceutical strategies promoted for life extension.
While some of these approaches are under active investigation, history consistently shows that early adoption of aggressive interventions can reveal unintended consequences over time. Many medical and performance-enhancing innovations once considered promising were later found to carry risks, side effects or long-term trade-offs not initially understood.
Shimalia takes a considered position. We prioritise approaches that work with the body’s innate repair, adaptation and regulatory systems, rather than overriding them. By focusing on measurable biology, non-pharmaceutical protocols and nervous system stability, we aim to improve longevity and performance while minimising long-term risk.
Longevity is not a single intervention or a short-term solution. It is the cumulative result of daily decisions, biological alignment and sustained oversight over time. No pill, procedure or isolated treatment replaces the fundamentals of how the body is supported, regulated and maintained.
Shimalia approaches longevity as a long-term discipline — shaped by lifestyle, environment, nervous system balance and measurable biology. Progress is achieved through consistency, precision and adaptation. The objective is durable health and performance across decades, not temporary gains with unknown long-term consequences.

Guided by Data
Longevity is not a quick fix or a single intervention. It is the outcome of sustained biological alignment over time. We dont guess - we measure.
