Formerly known as the “Master Your Health (MYH)” program
Become a Macrobiotic Counselor
Expertly navigate your own practice and be able to speak with accuracy and authority to advise clients, family members and friends. Once certified, individuals are qualified to guide others with the most common and pervasive health problems (non-life threatening). This includes:
Develop Your Own Health in Order to Help Others
Take a course that has already helped hundreds of people to live longer, healthy and happy lives. Students can expect to leave SHI Macrobiotics with a richly detailed foundation of understanding and application of macrobiotics, plant-based cooking, and lifestyle practices. Our unique and non-restrictive approach focuses on the positives of adding healthy foods and building sustainable habits that only enhance one’s current vegetarian or vegan practice.
Connect and Learn Together
Be around individuals that want to become Macrobiotic counselors too! Learn from each other and meet new friends at Zoom Conference Calls.
Be Part of Our International Macrobiotic Community
This is an international macrobiotic course. Students from all over the world can use Zoom to join the course, conversation and discussions. Get connected with amazing people around the world.
Zoom Conference calls are sessions that take place once a month where students can receive further insight about specific modules (lessons) from Denny & Susan Waxman. Each call is an hour in length. It’s an opportunity to be a part of a macrobiotic community, although the class is remote. Homework is also discussed at this time.
Zoom Conference Call Dates:
Module 1&2 – Monday, March 16 @ 5pm – 7pm (This will be a 2-hour long call to cover two modules and will also serve as an introductory to the course with Denny & Susan.)
To Receive Full-Certification for this course, only 2 conference calls can be missed (unless otherwise noted because of work, school, or religious observances).
If you’re looking to understand macrobiotics at the deepest of levels, it is imperative to add small amounts of information over a long period of time. Although the previous courses have allowed you to immerse yourself in the basics, and even some of the more granular aspects of macrobiotics, the SHI Advanced Macrobiotic Counselor Training Program, formerly known as the “Master Your Health (MYH)” course, should be spread out over time. There is so much information included in this course, that it would be lost without taking the time to apply it to your life. Each module should be learned, applied, and restudied for at least one month and then revisited throughout the course of a year.
The material also continues to expand itself and each module that you take will exponentially increase your knowledge of previous lessons. This self-paced, immersive course is the most comprehensive macrobiotics education available and combines decades of experience with the most well-respected macrobiotic approaches through history.
Online Certification:
Completion of the Advanced Macrobiotic Counselor Training Program online modules ONLY, certifies you to adequately guide yourself on your own personal journey to feeling better, naturally.
Full-Certification:
Full completion of the Advanced Macrobiotic Counselor Training Program certifies you to guide others with non-life threatening illnesses. Many have gone on to teach, cook, and guide others using the SHI Macrobiotics approach.
Full Certification is different from Online Certification as it prepares you for counseling others. You will have the opportunity to shadow Denny Waxman during his counseling sessions with clients as a Scribe, as well as take part in assessments that test your knowledge of the material learned.
In order to ensure that the content of this course offers the highest level of value, the Beginner Macrobiotic Course is required as a prerequisite. Additionally, for full SHI Macrobiotics Certification:
Taught by world-renowned teachers & counselors Denny & Susan Waxman, along with the esteemed faculty of SHI, students receive the benefits of over 6 decades of experience in all areas of macrobiotic practice and teaching packed into one comprehensive program. Students can expect to leave the program with a richly detailed foundation of understanding and application that surpasses in comprehensive richness all current offerings in plant-based cooking and lifestyle practices.
The advanced course takes previous concepts and principles covered in the Beginner Macrobiotic Course and the Intermediate Macrobiotic Course and practically and deeply applies them to all aspects of modern life and health. Upon finishing the course, students who choose the entire program (both online and on-site) receive certification for guiding others to health with non-life threatening illnesses in the macrobiotic tradition.
You can register for modules all throughout the year (NOT just January 1st!). But, the majority of students like to start during the first month of the year and that facilitates our group discussions and the buddy system that we use.
For our students who have already completed the Intermediate course, you can begin the advanced course with module 4 and will be credited a price deduction for the first three modules. Whatever your circumstances, becoming a student in the advanced course may allow for many custom options to learn the SHI Approach to Macrobiotic Practice.
By the end of the course, you will be able to clearly answer the question, what is macrobiotics? We also hope you will agree that even as a predominantly online course, it is still the most comprehensive macrobiotics training on the planet!
