Hello, my name is Shantiel Sisneros, and I am a Nutritional Therapist Practitioner, Life Coach, and your fellow recovering autoimmune friend. For over 12 years, I have worked as a massage therapist & esthetician, but I knew I was destined to make a more profound impact. After experiencing my own autoimmunity struggles, I discovered functional nutrition and felt a calling to help those like myself

feel better, understood, and heard, in a world where we are often undertreated. My goal is to assist individuals who face health challenges by simplifying their nutrition and lifestyle habits. Additionally, I aim to coach them in developing a mindset that will help them achieve success in managing their health concerns.

One of the biggest shifts I want women to make postpartum is to stop looking at food through the lens of weight loss.

Your body has just undergone an enormous physiological event.

Pregnancy depleted nutrient stores.
Birth requires healing.
Sleep is fragmented.
Hormones are dramatically changing.
And breastfeeding can increase your nutritional needs even further.

‼️This is not the time to survive on coffee, a protein bar and whatever is left on your toddler’s plate.‼️

Postpartum meals should contain protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats because they each have a job to do.

🥩Protein helps rebuild.
🍠Carbohydrates provide energy.
🥑Fats support hormones, blood sugar and satiation.

And you don't necessarily need to count every calorie to know whether you're eating enough.

🏁Start by paying attention to your hunger.

If you're suddenly ravenous postpartum — especially while breastfeeding — your body isn't being “out of control.”

It may simply be asking for the resources it needs to recover and produce milk.

Postpartum nourishment is part of postpartum care.

Society has made postpartum care look like a 6-week checkup, a meal train for a few days, “sleep when the baby sleeps,” and getting cleared to exercise so you can start feeling like yourself again.

But that is not postpartum care.

Postpartum care is the intentional replenishment of a woman after pregnancy and birth.

Her body has spent months building a baby. She has gone through birth, blood and nutrient loss, massive hormonal shifts, interrupted sleep, nervous system changes, and an entirely new identity — all while being expected to immediately care for another human.

The fundamentals are actually much simpler:
Nourish her.
Warm, nutrient-dense meals, slow-cooked foods, broth, minerals and teas that help rebuild what pregnancy and birth required from her.

Let her rest.
Less rushing. Less responsibility. Less decision making. Sleep, breathing, gentle movement and space for her body to recover.

Support her.
Cook the meals. Wash the dishes. Hold the baby. Care for the older children. Ask what she needs. A postpartum mother was never meant to do all of this alone.

Protect her time to bond.
She needs space to learn her baby, notice their cues, establish feeding, build attachment and grow into her confidence as their mother.

Give her space to become.
Postpartum is not about getting the “old her” back. It is about helping her reconnect with her body, her needs, her intuition and the woman she is becoming.

That is the purpose of this pyramid.

Each layer supports the one above it.

Because it is very hard for a mother to feel connected, confident and intuitive when she is underfed, exhausted, overstimulated and carrying the entire household.

We don’t need mothers to bounce back faster.

We need to rebuild the way we care for them.

A little glimpse into how I ended up doing the work I do today. 🤍
It definitely wasn’t a straight line. It came through my own health struggles, two losses, a lot of learning, deep emotional healing, two beautiful home births, and the realization that women deserve so much more support through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum.
There is still so much more to this story, and I’ll be sharing the deeper pieces along the way.
But for now, this is the heart of it: I became the support I once needed. ✨

If you’re a postpartum mom constantly asking,
“I can't seem to handle this!”
“Why do I feel this way?”
“Why can’t I just snap out of this?”

First — nothing is wrong with you. 🤍

Postpartum depression and anxiety are not personality flaws. They are not a lack of gratitude. They are not a failure of motherhood.

After birth, your body goes through one of the most intense hormonal and physiological shifts it will ever experience. Estrogen and progesterone drop rapidly. Iron levels can fall. Sleep becomes fragmented. Nutrient demands increase — especially if you’re breastfeeding.

Your brain is trying to function without its usual support.

Nutrition won’t magically cure PPD or PPA. But your brain needs raw materials to regulate mood, stabilize blood sugar, and calm the nervous system. When those foundations are low, symptoms can feel louder.

If you’ve been searching every post for the “one thing” that will fix you — pause here.

You are not broken.
You may be depleted.
You may be overwhelmed.
You may need more support than you’ve been given.

Food is one layer. Sleep is one layer. Nervous system care is one layer. Movement is one layer. Therapy or medication may also be a layer — and that does not mean you failed.

You deserve real support, not shame.
You deserve nourishment, not just survival.
And you are not alone in this. 🤍

If symptoms feel heavy, persistent, or scary — please reach out to your provider. Getting help is strength, not weakness.

Save this for later. Share with a mom who needs it.

Some days break you a little.

The meltdowns.
The sleepless nights.
The third cold in a month.
The project you’re behind on.
The laundry staring at you.
The sore back.
The dishes.
The errands.
The silence of no adult conversation for hours.

And yet…

You still get up.

You still pack the snack.
You still answer the cry.
You still show up to the appointment.
You still fold the tiny clothes.
You still figure it out.

Why?

Because that’s what moms do.

We push.
We pivot.
We problem-solve.
We get sh*t done.

Not because it’s glamorous.
Not because it’s easy.
But because we love deeply.

For the love of these children.
For the love of ourselves.
For the love of our families.

We don’t stop at “this is hard.”
We move through it.

And here’s the powerful part:
We weren’t given these beautiful little souls to squeeze into the cracks of our old lives.

We were entrusted with them.

To build a life that rises to meet them.
To stretch.
To grow.
To evolve.

Not just to make space for them —
but to make a life worthy of them.

Bad days don’t stop us.
They shape us.

Because nothing will stop a mother who has decided:

“These are my babies.
And I will build the life they deserve.” 💛

Think of a cat- when you rub up their bodies & hair spike up.
When you rub up babies spine it stimulates energy.
When you run down their spine it promotes calmness & comfort.

Balanced blood sugar = balanced mood.
Steady nourishment = clearer thinking.
A regulated body = a present mind.

You don’t need to learn how to be a mother..
You just need to nourish yourself enough to hear your instincts coming through.

To often I see Mixed signals on is salt Good or Bad, or what type to use, or even some showing some pretty harmful ways of consuming Salt.

If you are a mama-to-be and have an interactive thyroid it is important to be mindfully consuming the RIGHT form of salt for proper iodine levels. Up until week 16 of gestation the baby relies on the mamas thyroid hormones as their own. Thereafter they begin to produce their own.
If thyroid function is low this could lead to neurodevelopment delays and impaired brain development for baby.

For Mama-
Keep mind of these signs & symptoms. Though they may "seem normal" during pregnancy it's important to get your thyroid checked if they do come up & stick around.
-Fatigue
-Low immunity
-Chronic Dry Skin
-Memory problems
-Hair loss
-Constipation
-Sensativity to Cold

Everything around us carries energy—the plants that grow, the animals we care for, the food we eat, and the loved ones we cherish. We are all made of energy.

As mothers, we spend so much time tuning into the needs of our little ones and even our own. But what if we shifted our focus from just the physical inputs we consume each day to the energy we receive? When we do this, we begin to listen to the energy of the soul, guiding our awareness to what we truly need—not just what society tells us we should need.
