To schedule a consultation or for further information, please call (413) 623-0012. The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health is a first step to introduce you to the macrobiotic way of life and help you get started. For individualized help on the macrobiotic path, you may wish to have a personal macrobiotic health consultation with Alex or Gale. The session takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours and addresses the origin and cause of your condition, offers a personalized diet plan including what foods to avoid and what to prepare, suggests simple, safe home remedies and external applications, and presents way of life suggestions that can reduce stress and increase beauty and harmony in your life. For those who are already practicing macrobiotics or newcomers who wish ongoing advice and direction, Alex and Gale offer a limited number of discussion sessions on a regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. In addition to health concerns, these half-hour or hour sessions in person or via telephone offer ongoing learning in practicing macrobiotics and understanding and applying the macrobiotic philosophy of yin and yang, as well as guidance on family, career, relationships, spiritual development, and other personal concerns. As a way of life, macrobiotics affects almost everything you do, your view of life, and your relations with others. Being macrobiotic in a meat-and-sugar eating world and everything that gives rise to is not always easy. Dealing with relatives, friends, and co-workers can be challenging. Without a support network of friends and family, some people find it too hard and give up. Alex and Gale’s structured View of Life sessions or informal MacroChat sessions in which you discuss the week’s events or anything on your mind can help you steer a calm, steady course through life’s ups and downs, develop faith in the order of nature, and learn to trust your own intuition. Generally, appointments can be scheduled within 3 to 7 days. In preparation for a macrobiotic counseling or guidance session, you will need to fill out a health questionnaire that we can mail, fax, or email to you. A recent color photograph (facial) will also be very helpful and can also be sent by mail or emailed as a digital graphics file. Fees for a Macrobiotic Health Consultation are $175 for an individual and $250 for a couple or family. Macrobiotic View or MacroChat sessions: $40 for a half hour session and $60 for an hour session. Home remedy advice and guidance: $35/per quarter hour. Payment may be made by check or money order or by Visa/Mastercard.
