Study Smart: How to Support Your Child’s Brain Health This Exam Season
We’ll explore brain-friendly habits and natural ways to support cognitive health, mood, and memory during exam season.
At Vie&Sante, our mission has always been rooted in a simple but powerful idea: Good Health = A Happy Life. We’re passionate about supporting families with health solutions that not only nourish growing bodies but also nurture growing minds. That’s why we are beyond excited to officially introduce Shannon Mandel as our newest Brand Ambassador!
Shannon is a dynamic force in the world of child and family mental wellness. As the founder of The Mindsight Method, she brings together science-backed strategies, therapeutic tools, and a deep personal passion for empowering parents. Her approach is rooted in clinical psychology, enriched with neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and strengthened by rapid transformational therapy (RTT)—making her a uniquely equipped voice for modern parenting.
Why This Partnership Makes Sense
Parenting today is a complex, high-pressure role. Between juggling school demands, emotional development, screen-time management, and the general rollercoaster of growing up, it’s easy for parents to feel overwhelmed and under-resourced.
That’s where this partnership shines.
Shannon shares our belief that supporting children’s emotional well-being is just as essential as supporting their physical health. Her work aligns perfectly with Vie&Sante’s vision to offer holistic, natural, and accessible wellness solutions, especially through our much-loved Safari Squad range of children’s supplements.
We’ve long known that healthy minds and healthy bodies go hand-in-hand. This collaboration bridges that gap, creating a safe, encouraging, and informed space for parents to learn, reflect, and support their children more effectively, mentally and physically.
Meet Shannon Mandel
With a B.Soc.Sci in Psychology (UCT) and an Honours in Clinical Psychology (Stellenbosch University), Shannon has spent years studying how children think, feel, and grow. But she didn’t stop there.
She continued her journey with specialised qualifications in:
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP Hypnotherapy
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
Through her practice and online platform, The Mindsight Method, Shannon equips parents with real-world tools and grounded emotional strategies to raise more connected, resilient, and emotionally secure children.
Her unique ability to blend scientific insight with compassionate guidance has made her a trusted voice among parents who want more than just surface-level parenting tips, they want transformation.
What’s Coming: Grounded with Shannon – Our New Video Series
In collaboration with Vie&Sante, Shannon will be hosting a brand-new video content series called Grounded with Shannon. This series, launching in April 2025, will tackle the everyday emotional and mental challenges that children and parents face.
Each episode will explore topics like:
Emotional regulation in kids
Managing parental stress
Focus and attention during school terms
Building trust and emotional safety at home
How supplements like Brain Batteries Gummies and Chill-Out Gummies support mental wellness holistically, while the rest of the Safari Squad Range support the body physically.
You’ll find these videos on YouTube, Instagram, and across our social platforms, making it easy for busy parents to tap into support wherever they are.
The series isn’t just informative, it’s grounded in real practice, delivered by a warm, relatable expert who truly understands the ups and downs of parenting.
Bonus Value: Expert Blogs for Deeper Support
In addition to video content, Shannon will be contributing to the Wellness Chronicles Blog right here on our website. Her blogs will unpack many of the tools and frameworks she uses in therapy, made practical and digestible for everyday use at home.
Expect topics like:
The 3 R’s of Regulation
Understanding anxiety in kids
Why co-regulation is the secret sauce of successful parenting
How to respond rather than react during emotional meltdowns
These blogs will be featured monthly and shared across our newsletter and social platforms.
As part of this exciting collaboration, Shannon is also gifting her signature course, Empowered Parenting to select lucky followers throughout the year.
Valued at $200, this online course includes 5 powerful modules designed to help you:
✅ Understand the nervous system and how anxiety impacts parenting
✅ Cultivate self-awareness and emotional regulation
✅ Apply co-regulation techniques to support your child
✅ Deepen your connection with your child for lifelong resilience
We’ll be running exclusive giveaways as the series rolls out, so keep an eye out on our socials and newsletters to enter.
At the heart of this partnership is a shared mission:
To help parents feel more confident, calm, and connected, and to ensure that children grow up in homes that nurture both physical and emotional health.
We’re so excited to bring this next layer of value to our Vie&Sante community. Shannon’s warm, empowering voice complements our science-backed products beautifully. Together, we’re creating not just a product line, but a movement toward whole-family wellness. So, let’s get curious…
