Macrobiotic consultations
The Macrobiotic dietary approach is a way of eating that has been used traditionally throughout the world and has been found to be very successful in correcting many disorders.
A consultation with an experienced macrobiotic counselor will help you structure your diet and select foods to strengthen your health, increase your energy, and balance your condition.
Before your appointment, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire to provide the counselor with information regarding your health history and a description your current condition. The counselor will make a brief assessment of your constitutional traits and current condition through observation of facial features, hands, and other methods of oriental health evaluation. He will discuss the macrobiotic view of the cause of present condition, and go over a set of personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations to address your needs and concerns. A recipe and recommendation booklet will be provided.

Shiatsu massage
Shiatsu is a pressure-point massage designed to regulate the flow of energy in the body. Pressure is applied by thumb, fingers, palms, or even in some instances with the feet, to the body’s surface as well as to specific acupoints, to stimulate energy flow and blood circulation. Shiatsu massage produces deep relaxation, increases energy levels, and brings the body back to balance. It is very effective for stress, aches, tension and many other symptoms of modern life. Shiatsu is also very effective for detecting and correcting potential problems. Come for a shiatsu massage session or “energy tune-up”, or to alleviate a painful condition. François practices a form of shiatsu called “Barefoot Shiatsu”, which he learned at the Kushi Institute and by attending seminars by Shizuko Yamamoto. Traditional shiatsu is not performed on a massage table, but on a thin futon placed directly on the floor. Loose-fitting cotton clothing is best for receiving a shiatsu massage.
