  • Eva-Marie Janelo, Practitioner of Chinese medicine, Author

    As a practitioner of Chinese medicine, the treatment I give is only a first step. The most important, but also often the most difficult, is to teach the client how to preserve the newfound health. Deirdre Courtney's book Nourishing Life the Yang Sheng Way is a practical guide that describes in a very educational way how to provide simple diet and lifestyle advice to my clients. A masterpiece that builds bridges between our western lifestyle and millennial knowledge from the East.

  • Mandy Monaghan, Health & Wellness Coach

    Nourishing Life the Yang Sheng Way is a gem. In a world plagued by increasing levels of diseases which are directly created and effected by lifestyle practitioners will need to guide their clients through a whole host of diet and lifestyle interventions on top of their treatment plans. Having a quick reference guide to dip into is wonderful to guide clients/patients along their path to wellness. What Deirdre highlights beautifully in this book is compassion for self in order to have compassion for your clients as you guide them through treatment. Something we as coaches and practitioners need to be mindful of as we all navigate the illness wellness continuum. A timely book full of ancient wisdom for our modern and a crazy world!
