Paula is a 2001 North York campus graduate, currently working in Sauble Beach, ON. She is an independent consultant with Arbonne, supporting clients on their wellness journey. Paula has experienced firsthand the value of connecting to a life that looks and feels right for her, versus what she grew up believing to be the right way.

Paula’s personal journey clarified the value of living true to ourselves and understanding that to each of us, it’s as unique as our fingerprint. She published, “The Journey Between Places,” in 2018, and in the same year, purchased her retreat home in Sauble Beach which she calls her ‘Place of Pause.’ When you still the mind, you can hear the whispers of the heart.

FILSAN AYNAB CNP, C.Ir.
Filsan is a 2019 Mississauga campus graduate, currently practicing in Toronto, Ontario. She is the founder of AYORA, a wellness brand for Conscious Living, which focuses on Mindset and Nutrition through the use of European Constitutional Iridology. Following a 10 year career as a Human Resources Professional in the corporate world, Filsan took her first stab at entrepreneurship in 2016 and launched her own HR consulting firm helping local and international businesses with Talent Acquisition, Recruiting & Retention. After personally experiencing the negative health setbacks of ‘burnout” and fatigue, she established a niche branch off of her consulting business to fill the increasing need for wellness education and awareness not readily available to herself, her friends, colleagues and corporate clients. In a serendipitous encounter at a grocery store with a 2017 graduate of IHN North York, Filsan was universally guided to attend the Institute of Holistic Nutrition the following semester in 2018. Along with her Applied Holistic Nutrition training, it was here she found her passion for Iridology – the art and science of revealing the pathological, structural, functional and emotional disturbances in the human body. Specializing in elimination protocols guided by the individual constitution of each client, Filsan is practicing out of Flow Hydrotherapy clinic in Bloor West Village Etobicoke. As a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and Clinical Iridologist she is currently accepting new clients.

SHANNON SIMPSON CNP, BHK, TRP, CPT
Shannon is a 2016 Vancouver campus graduate, currently practicing in Courtenay, BC. She is the founder of Whole Health Family Wellness, where she provides programs and resources that focus on teaching children nutrition. Shannon is the creator of the “Mindful Meals” Placemat, which was created to encourage kids to slow down and pay attention to the food they eat. After volunteering at Huband Park Elementary with the Salad Bar program for a year, Shannon took it over and made it her mission to get kids more connected to their food. She grew the program to be the largest elementary school salad bar program across Canada. In the process of trying to find a way to get the kids to be more mindful of the amount of food that was being wasted, she created the “Mindful Meals” placemat. As a local mom with a passion for all kids to have nutritional education, she believes this placemat can be used as a tool and great conversation piece at the dinner table and school lunch hours. Shannon strongly believes we need to teach our kids how to connect to their food by slowing down, practicing gratitude and using all their senses to fully enjoy their food. When we create a healthy relationship with food, we also create a healthy relationship with our families, our communities and Mother Earth.
