Created by Michael Fisher, Registered Nutritionist, Food Dharma is a program designed around an important concept in dietary wellness:
We are unique!
Food Dharma is a program that combines Western nutrition, traditional Chinese dietary healing and therapeutic cuisine. A truly holistic approach to food, the courses help develop a practice in healing the body, mind and spirit through whole foods, and is ideal for practitioners and beginners alike. The perspectives covered enable us to find our own personal 'food dharma', and lay a foundation for personal renewal.
