Michael has been involved in macrobiotic and natural healing for 40 years. After studies with Michio Kushi in the ’60s and ’70s, he directed various macrobiotic centers in the Washington, D.C. area for 20 years. In addition to teaching and counseling, he published a macrobiotic magazine, MacroMuse, for 7 years in the 1980s. Further, Michael has taught in many cities in America, Canada, Europe and in Israel. He continues to travel for teaching and counseling in the U.S. (most frequently to the Washington, DC area) plus England.
He studied acupuncture in England in the 1970s with J.R. Worsley at the College of Chinese Acupuncture and has practiced continuously since 1978. He did further studies for the entire year of 1999 at the Maryland Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Michael was the academic dean and a core teacher at Atlantic University of Chinese Medicine outside of Asheville, North Carolina for three years. He maintains a private counseling and acupuncture practice plus teaches occasionally in other cities. Further, he has regularly taught shiatsu massage (basic & advanced) at the N.C.

Michael is appreciated for his attentiveness to each client’s history and current needs and for his ability to give clear and valuable explanations and feedback. His healing work as a counselor focuses on the detailed recommendations of foods and lifestyle changes, and reaches to the subtle qualities of mind and spirit that can profoundly impact someone’s life.
