I am a wife, mother of 3 grown sons, composer and wellness consultant. After losing my mother, when I was 21, I felt compelled to explore what it is to be a healthy human being. This led me to study asian prevention models of healthy living. I began with healthy diet- changing from a meat and sugar-eater, first to a lacto-vegetarian then to macrobiotics.
I see macrobiotics as more than just dietary recommendations. It is a philosophy, a way to see life and make choices about how to live in harmony with our environment. My husband and I created the Fortunate Blessings Foundation to teach people about diet, relationships and environment and the connection of all to our health.
In the late eighties there was more demand for natural foods and many more restaurants and food stores with organic and healthier choices. I branched into other areas, focussing more on how to have a healthy lifestyle and environment.
Although I lived what I thought was an incredibly conscious lifestyle I still had sleep issues which resolved literally overnight when I slept on a Nikken magnetic sleep system. I have since found great health benefits from my Nikken Wellness Home and I am a Nikken Diamond Wellness Consultant with an active and prosperous global organization. If you are looking for right-livelihood, plan B or Wellness products for yourself or others, let’s talk. Leave me a note!
This blog will contain macro musings as well as my worldviews, interesting products and my discoveries about ways to live, feel, think and be in resonance with our quickly changing world.

I’m a student in Vietnam and I have been on the Macrobiotic diet with only brown rice. But next year I will study in the UK, and I’m worried that I can’t find any place to buy brown rice at a reasonable price…
And I have read some blogs, and it seems that people don’t usually eat brown rice with black sesame(i think it’s this word:), though this is the most recommended combination?

Hi Trang, I don’t think you will have to worry about finding brown rice in the UK. There are many whole foods shops. As for eating with black sesame seeds, you can make wonderful combinations not only of different seeds and nuts but you can also eat a greater variety of grains. Have you tried millet, oats or quinoa, for example?
