COMPREHENSIVE Certificate program

The Strengthening Health Institute's newly re-designed Comprehensive Certificate Program is a streamlined one year program. You will learn more through doing and interacting with fellow students. It is fashioned after the old macrobiotic study house, where people lived, ate, studied, discussed and played together.

The Comprehensive Certificate Program meets monthly and concludes in November. At each meeting during the year, the following five key areas will be covered:

• Macrobiotic Philosophy and Theory
• Shiatsu Massage and Do-In Self Exercise
• Oriental Diagnosis
• Cooking
• Macrobiotic Health Care for Oneself and Others

The Strengthening Health Approach to Macrobiotics is the foundation of all the educational programs we offer. Denny Waxman developed this approach from his extensive experience as a teacher and counselor in order to bring the essential elements of macrobiotic theory and practice together in an easy to understand way.

Denny Waxman is the principal instructor in the Comprehensive Certificate Program. Susan Waxman, Warren Kramer, Patrick Riley and Michele Nemer are stellar macrobiotic educators who will contribute to your learning experience throughout the year. The faculty have lectured, cooked and counseled all over the world. They have studied extensively with leading educators in the field and are enthusiastically committed to teaching.
