Personal Diet Consultations

Are you concerned about your health?  You can
   • Achieve your ideal weight
   • Strengthen your Immune & Digestive System
   • Remedy a health condition

You can enjoy delicious and satisfying foods that fully support your well being.

You'll accurately learn what works for you--and what doesn't. Plus you'll learn easy-to-implement dietary upgrades.  For over 35 years, I've used a blend of Oriental Facial Diagnosis, Western Nutriton and kitchen savvy to help people succeed in eating well.

I work with a limited number of clients either in phone sessions, or in person in Boulder, Colorado.

Q: What does a consultation include?
A: You’ll receive a Facial Diagnosis and Dietary Guidelines to support your beauty and health concerns. I’ll provide recipes, logs and information for your needs. I’ll assist you with kitchen strategies to support your success

Q:  What is Facial Diagnosis?
A: There are many traditional diagnostic tools that enable a practitioner to “read” health conditions. My expertise is Oriental Facial Diagnosis. I studied it with Michio Kushi at his Boston Macrobiotic Center (1969-72) and also at the School of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Kenilworth, England (1973).

You’ll learn how the shape, texture, tone, definition and/or color of a specific area of your face clearly registers your improved wellness--or the reverse!.

This enables prevention and early detection. You'll learn to track your blood sugar as well as your immune, adrenal, reproductive, digestive and heart health.

Or, if you've a specific condition like CFIDS, cancer or lupus, your face reveals your progress. This frees you to confidently proceed with your protocol or to adjust it if necessary.

Q: How can you know what diet is best for me?
A: I'll review your Personal Consultation Form, 3-Day Dietary Log and Symptom Questionnaire. Also, for telephone consults, you’ll send me a photograph with a clear close-up of your face without make-up. I’ll assess your information and provide you with solutions.

Q. A close-up photo with no make-up! How embarrassing.
A.  Just like a flower blossom, every face is beautiful (unless, that is, you’re in a fit of anger). Indeed, your essence beams from you face and is pleasurable to see.

You'll soon be observing, in addition to your quintessence, conditions that obscure your light. Just like clouds apparently hide the sun, the sun’s still there. When you’ve a health issue, it shadows your energy on multiple levels. Let’s clear up the murky stuff and get you feeling better by addressing root causes.

Q: What if I have questions after our session?
A: Each session includes a brief follow-up via email or telephone. We're working together and it's important to both of us that you've the information you need to succeed.

Q: Giving up my comfort foods will be a big deal. I’m afraid that I can't stick with a healthy diet.
A:   When you’re deeply satisfied with breakfast, lunch and dinner, then your cravings vanish. Let’s gently—and at your own pace—devise a meal plan that enables you to be fully nourished. As you daily enjoy delicious meals, you thrive!

Q: How many consultations will I need?
A:  One consultation is often enough for someone who eats well and has few health problems. However, if you wish more support (or if you have significant weight or health problems), a discounted series of consultations is available.
