Hello and welcome! My name is Shanavia Portis and I am the visionary and founder of Embrace I AM, LLC. I would like to share a little about me. I was overweight for most of my life.  As a child, I was a chubby girl and that grew into adulthood.  In 2003 after getting pregnant with my first daughter, my weight caused a myriad of health issues.  After delivering my eldest daughter, I embarked on my journey to wellness.  It has been a road full of ups and downs, but I am continuing to conquer every milestone set before me. This lifestyle is about the journey and everyone's journey is different. As I continue my journey, I want to come alongside you and help you on your journey as well.

I have a Master's degree in Human Nutrition where I specialize in coaching individuals on their wellness journey. I also as experience as a spiritual coach. I am also a marriage coach where my husband and I help couples grow deeper in their marriage together.
