Shawna Barker BSc., R.H.N.

Founder, Nutritionist
Read Full Bio

Hi There!

Hi, I’m Shawna, the founder of Synergy Nutrition and a dedicated plant based nutritionist. My journey with plant-based eating began in 1993 when I chose to go vegetarian, eventually transitioning to a fully vegan lifestyle in 2002. Wanting to ensure I was meeting my nutritional needs, I pursued my education at the University of British Columbia, earning an Honours Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. I further expanded my expertise by becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist through the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
For the past 14 years, I’ve been helping individuals thrive on a plant based diet—whether you’re new to veganism, navigating pregnancy, optimizing athletic performance, or working through digestive concerns. I provide science-backed guidance tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel energized, balanced, and confident in your nutrition choices. I also offer nutrition and vegan cooking classes, making plant-based eating simple, enjoyable, and sustainable. Let’s work together to create a nourishing, plant-powered lifestyle that works for you!
