Personal Macrobiotic Consultations
I have discontinued for now offering consultations in-person, online, by Zoom, and by telephone. I continue to offer consultations by live Facebook Messenger and/or email; this has worked out successfully and effectively for many individuals.
The personal consultation is one of several important steps one can take when pursuing a macrobiotic lifestyle. In order to address the unique needs of those who seek our guidance we have designed the following macrobiotic consultation options:
2. The Healing Myself Consultation
3. The CRS (Cancer Recovery Support) Consultation
4. The Mental Health & Diet Consultation
5. The Power Vegan Eating™ Consultation
6. Women’s Self-Healing Consultation with Cynthia
7. Pregnancy, Children’s Health & Motherhood Consultation with Cynthia
8. Introductory Macrobiotic Education Session
9. Inquiry & Information Gathering Session
This consultation is for those without major health issues who want to make a steady transition to a traditional macrobiotic diet and lifestyle. After a preliminary phone or email discussion, David or his assistant will advise you as to whether or not The Essential Consultation would meet your needs, or if you should consider one of the other consultation options described on this page. In person, online, or by phone, this consultation includes complete written recommendations, relevant special recipes and home remedies instructions, and other educational materials. The Essential Consultation lasts for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Fee: $275 – 1 hour live Facebook Messenger first session and 5 email follow-up contacts. Complete printed recommendations delivered within 48 hours of the consultation session. Advance full payment is required to reserve your consultation. Once your payment has been received, we will contact you to schedule your consultation.

2. The Healing Myself Consultation
This consultation is for the person with a major health concern, other than cancer, who is in need of healing-focused macrobiotic lifestyle recommendations. ( For those who are challenged by cancer we offer The CRS Consultation described below.)
During The Healing Myself Consultation you will gain an understanding of your condition from a macrobiotic view, receive detailed macrobiotic dietary and lifestyle recommendations for your personal needs, and be given special recipes and educational materials.
The Healing Myself Consultation is for those who need to immediately implement a traditional, healing-focused macrobiotic approach, rather than a gradual transition. (For those who have no health concerns and are seeking a more gradual transition to macrobiotics, The Essential Consultation described above would be more appropriate.)
If you have a major health concern and you want to pursue a macrobiotic lifestyle, it is advised that you seek the necessary instruction and guidance from experienced macrobiotic teachers. Macrobiotic lifestyle changes can be unnecessarily difficult and time consuming if one attempts a self-healing practice without guidance and instruction. Uneducated and unguided attempts can result in misapplications of macrobiotics as well as unnecessary frustration.
Fee: $275 – 1 hour live Facebook Messenger first session and 5 email follow-up contacts. Complete printed recommendations delivered within 48 hours of the consultation session.Advance full payment is required to reserve your consultation. Once your payment has been received, we will contact you to schedule an in-person, internet webinar room, or telephone consultation. You can arrange for optional review sessions after the consultation for $50 each.

3. The CRS (Cancer Recovery Support) Consultation
The special CRS Consultation has been created for the specific needs of the cancer patient. A complimentary macrobiotic practice before, during and after medical treatment requires the educated and monitored approach that The CRS Consultation process offers.
In response to the many requests to create a program that meets the varied needs of a cancer recovery process, we have developed the The CRS Consultation to more fully provide a macrobiotic approach that supports the whole person during the healing challenges specific to cancer recovery.
To fully implement macrobiotic guidelines for cancer recovery requires far more than one consultation session. The consultation is but one step in what needs to be a well-rounded macrobiotic education. In addition to a consultation, the person challenged by cancer who wants to pursue a macrobiotic lifestyle should also receive the necessary education in macrobiotic self-healing skills including cooking, menu planning, and home remedies applications.
Special issues that will be addressed over time during The CRS Consultation process (when relevant to the individual’s need and condition): … Appetite … Weight Loss/Weight Gain … Fatigue … Pain … Worry … Anxiety … Family Issues … Adjusting Your Practice After Medical Test Results … Communicating with Your Family and Medical Team … How to Practice Healing Intentions During Your Treatments … Overcoming a Lack of Appetite for Macrobiotic Foods … Dealing with Cravings for Old Favorite Foods … A Successful Approach to Social Gatherings, Holidays and Restaurants … Traveling When Healing … Strengthening and Rediscovering Your Own Spiritual Roots
4. The Mental Health & Diet Consultation with David Briscoe
David is widely considered the world’s leading advocate of macrobiotics for mental health recovery. He recovered from mental health troubles that began when he was a little boy and ended after starting a macrobiotic diet.

Additionally, he will explore with you how to work with your doctor regarding your macrobiotic diet and any psychiatric meds that you may be taking.
Fee: $275 – 1 hour Facebook Messenger first session and 5 email follow-up contacts. Complete printed recommendations delivered within 48 hours of the consultation session.

5. The Power Vegan Eating™ Consultation
There is the general ethical vegan diet and then there is the vegan diet based on principles of balance and health. A general vegan diet can still be unbalanced as far as personal health goes, and this can lead to less than beneficial outcomes. This consultation is for helping you create a vegan diet that is not only meeting your high ethical standards but will also meet the needs of your personal health. Avoid the commonly experienced “vegan fatigue” and other health challenges resulting from a vegan diet that is not grounded in principles of balance for your personal health. A grounded and balanced vegan diet can do wonders!
Fee: $275 – 1 hour Facebook Messenger first session and 5 email follow-up contacts. Complete printed recommendations delivered within 48 hours of the consultation session. Advance full payment is required to reserve your consultation. Once your payment has been received, we will contact you to schedule your consultation.

Time-Saving Optional Menu Planning Service: After any of our consultations, you can sign up, at an additional fee of $250, for the Menu Planning Service to have your consultation recommendations organized into a complete 7-day menu plan with all the relevant recipes included, plus a specific shopping list for the menu plan, step-by-step instructions for cooking each meal, and much more! This can save you many hours of having to create daily meal plans and shopping lists, as well as save much time by having the step-by-step instructions for cooking each meal right in front of you. This Menu Planning Service is also available for those who have not had a consultation with us, for a fee of $500. This service will save you at least double the cost, and triple the time, of having to do it all yourself.
