Chinese Dietary Therapy is the most complex branch of Chinese Medicine. Foods are the herbs that we enjoy eating! Each food has specific energetics and these should be considered when we building a path to health.

Diane will make individualized recommendations of foods to include and to avoid in the context of diagnosis. There is no one correct diet for everyone.

Recommendations are always made keeping in mind the practicality of preparation and lifestyle. |
