MACROBIOTIC CONSULTATIONS/FOOD & LIFESTYLE COACHING
What is Macrobiotic Counselling?

Once the principles of macrobiotics are understood, occasional adjustments by an experienced macrobiotic practitioner/counsellor, who can look at your daily eating and see what is out of balance, can make the difference to so many imbalances in the body/mind. A counselor combines methods of oriental diagnosis with a detailed look at the diet in relationship to symptoms, energy levels etc. Then a weekly meal plan can be created specific to each person's condition. If someone chooses to use macrobiotics as a healing modality, they will be so amazed at the power of whole foods combined with principles of balance. It may not always be the quick-fix method that western society has come to expect - in other words it is not just treating the symptoms - it is looking at a total dietary change to rebuild and restore the body's balance and health. It may be a longer journey but it is a journey well worth taking if you ask me!
Sahaja has been training since early 2004 with David Briscoe, one of the top macrobiotic educators/counselors in the USA. A macrobiotic counselor provides education in macrobiotic principles regarding food choice, cooking and lifestyle. Sahaja is offering her commitment to careful and compassionate guidance for those seeking these services. She will guide those who are making the transition to cooking and eating whole and natural foods to bring balance on many levels: balancing one's constitution and one's present condition, cooking appropriately for one’s current condition as well as the seasons. She will also adjust and attune the dietary and lifestyle recommendations for those who need assistance dealing with their own challenging condition.
A consultation will last approximately 1 1/2 hours. She will provide you with food recommendations, special drinks or recipes if appropriate, and daily meal plans for your condition. In addition for the next 4 weeks, she will be available for email support where questions can be answered. You will have the opportunity to have on-going support and guidance for this time. The cost for this service is $350.
A one-hour follow-up session is available for $150.
This is recommended for those:
To have someone who has walked the path a little bit ahead is invaluable for pointing out the upcoming pitfalls and shortcuts on the journey. Sahaja can provide that assistance in navigating your own healing journey providing you with the tools/education/information to empower you and recover your intuition.
Then you can trust your own guidance system with confidence and delight.

This is recommended for those:
- who have had an initial consultation and no longer require back-up recipes, meal plans but would like to have further guidance/coaching.
- for those who have ample books/recipes at home and do not require a follow-up report but can take notes during thesession for their individual recommendations.

I went to Sahaja because I needed
some advice on how to maintain a balanced diet when not
eating meat and I walked out with a tool to heal myself.
In Sahaja I found professionalism, knowledge and a genuine
desire to empower her clients with an understanding of the
foods that would allow them to start tuning into the wisdom
of their own body and the healing energy of the foods to
match them. Sahaja is a beautiful and radiant woman who
loves her job, which appeared to me to be, in fact, her
passion and she is truly dedicated to making people feel
wonderful in the body they are in and make the most out
of what they are eating.
Macrobiotics has been for me a journey
of discovery of the voice and inner wisdom of my body and
of the delightful energies of grains, seaweeds and beans.
My body has responded with such joy to this new way of eating
that I have now embraced it wholly and I cannot even remember
having ever eaten anything different! Some may think that
Macrobiotics is boring, but I have found it is enough to
look at some older recipe books from all cultures to find
they are full of suggestions on how to enjoy grains and
beans. I feel it is just that over time we forgot we are
of the Earth. And Sahaja's cooking classes are surely a
brilliant way to bring that knowledge back into the memory!
My journey into Macrobiotics has been one of healing and
empowerment and I can only be truly grateful to myself for
having been so smart (!!) to follow my intuition when I
saw the ad and to Sahaja for having answered so lovingly
and enthusiastically to my request for help to enjoy a full
and beautiful health!

What I have written in the testimonial
is 100% true to me, so I offer it to you with much gratitude,
Sahaja, for truly having helped me get to where I am, which
is so very far ahead of where I was when I met you. You
have honoured me greatly by listening to me, acknowledging
and valuing what I already knew and giving me new tools
to improve what I knew and discover what I did not. May
such Love and Care you put in your Service return to you
one thousand fold.
