Drawing its name from the Sanskrit phrase for ‘Queen of the Mountains’, Shimalia has evolved into a modern wellbeing brand grounded in clarity, wisdom, and scientific insight. Guided by a singular purpose — to elevate how we care for the body and mind — Shimalia unites advanced biomarker intelligence with holistic principles to create a way of living that is intuitive, balanced, and deeply restorative.
Shimalia's Three Pillars
-
Advanced Biomarker Testing
Check key health markers, daily hormone levels, and/or determine your biological age to make the necessary lifestyle adjustments.
-
Cutting-edge Protocols
We follow the work and protocols of healers such as Anthony William, Dr. Morse, Dr. Brooke Goldner (Healing Lupus), Dr. Aviva Romm and Cyrus Khambatta PHD (Mastering Diabetes) who between them have helped millions of people to recover from conditions they once believed impossible to fully heal.
-
Nervous System Regulation
We work with the world-renowned Primal Trust program to reset the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode, which can be an integral part of healing chronic illness, stress and mental health conditions.
Joanna Parkin created Shimalia to help people reclaim their long-term health. She is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (IIN), a trained facilitator for The Monroe Institute (the world's leading education centre for the study of human consciousness), and a self-taught biohacker and longevity researcher. Joanna also brings deep knowledge of the teachings and protocols taught by leading holistic educators, including Antony William, Dr. Robert Morse, Dr. Brooke Goldner, Dr. Aviva Romm and Cyrus Khambatta PHD.
Shimalia was born from Joanna’s own health crisis in 2019, when severe burnout left her ill, exhausted and without answers despite seeing many medical specialists. After finally working with a health coach who identified adrenal dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, nutritional deficiencies, and a high toxic load, Joanna began a journey of healing protocols, recovered from over a dozen symptoms - including migraines, insomnia, anxiety and tinnitus - and transformed her health so profoundly that her biological age is now 17 years younger than her chronological age. Today she feels stronger, clearer, and more energised than she did a decade ago.
Joanna continues to explore biohacking, longevity research, nervous system science, herbal therapeutics, and advanced nutrition — bringing the most effective tools together to help people transform their health from the inside out.
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.
