Nutrition and Dietetics

Our practitioners at Pure Soul Wellness appreciate the relationship nutrition has on our health and wellbeing, while recognising that every individual has unique needs. We offer specialised services, including Chinese Dietetics for those seeking a more personalised plan that has its roots deeply within the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, or alternatively, an exploration of the Buddha-Dharma Philosophy, which focuses on self-inquiry for personal discovery including healthy body-mind nutrition.

​​

Traditional Chinese Dietetics:

​

Traditional Chinese Dietetics is also known as 'food therapy' and focuses on balancing the body's 'Qi' through food choices and seasons, viewing seasonal, fresh food choices in respect to their 'temperament' (yin & yang), and how to choose the right temperament foods that promote balance and well-being. Our TCM practitioner Lucie will assess your needs and guide you through a personalised plan that will address your health concerns, constitution and life-style. Her passion and integrity to the gentle nature and wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine means you will be delivered a unique and tailored program that will get you well on your way to balance and harmony.

Buddha Dharma Philosophy:

​

Buddha-Dharma philosophy shares many insights, however mastering awareness and self-inquiry for personal discovery and awakening or 'enlightenment' is primarily encouraged. Addressing the physical is a necessary step. Being aware of our physical body and our subtle energy systems, honouring and respecting our intrinsic connection to nature, and nourishing and nurturing the physical to enhance this awareness are practiced as a means toward the Middle Path - the path of harmony and balance. Observing and working with the physical body can lead us into our unconscious/subconscious world and reveal stress, imbalance and conflict.

​

​Mind-Body Nutrition is one of many ways to work with the physical and includes mindfulness toward food preparation, being aware of our body's needs and how to meet those needs and establishing a healthy respect and connection to our body and our relationship with food. 

​

For those seeking a deeper experience of cleansing, healing and conscious growth, fasting may be considered. Practiced as a means to deepen our self-study and any disharmony and conflict we hold within, the Buddha Dharma teaches that fasting gives the individual an opportunity for greater self-observation and awareness of our environment and those around us and supports physical, emotional and spiritual healing. It is important to note, fasting is a practice that may or may not be part of your journey. It is a very personal choice and honest communication, connection and confidence must be present between practitioner and client before a fast is undertaken.​ To discuss further, visit Joann on the practitioner page, and book your assessment today.
