Ginat began practicing macrobiotics in Jerusalem in 1980 following seven years of vegetarian and vegan living in Israel and her native US. By 1982 she had completed all three levels of study at the Kushi Institute, the world’s leading center of macrobiotic studies, located in Brookline, MA. She scribed for health consultations conducted by Michio Kushi, the leading international expert in macrobiotic practice and traveled with the Kushi Institute’s cook referral service to cook and care for clients. She co-owned and managed Satori Natural Foods Restaurant, in Boston, MA during the 1980s. Ginat graduated from the Kushi Institute’s Level IV study program of advanced counselor training in 2002, and holds their certification as Macrobiotic Teacher and Counselor. She is also certified in shiatsu massage therapy, and has practiced palmistry since 2001.
Ginat and Sheldon are frequent contributors to Macrobiotics Today magazine. Ginat has written for Non Credo e-zine, lectured at the Kushi Institute summer conference, the French Meadows Summer Camp in California, the One World Festival in England, the Pacific Macrobiotic Conference and numerous macrobiotic seminars in Israel. She has written a book entitled “Food, Faith and Healing: Forty Macrobiotic Accounts of Faith and Healing” based on three years of research and interviews.
Sheldon discovered macrobiotics in 1984 during a 10-year hiatus in the US after moving to Israel in 1964. He soon realized the effect of fifty years of a standard American diet and lifestyle as his weight plummeted uncontrollably and doctors discovered a tumor between his bladder and spine. Careful macrobiotic practice for many years without medical intervention reversed the condition completely, and today he enjoys full health. Sheldon specializes in numerology, teaching and consulting internationally. He is the author of “Getting to Know You: A Numerology Textbook,” a user friendly and abridged version of a two volume “Numerology: The Complete Guide” by Matthew Oliver Goodwin, and “Personality and Numerology: The Collective Behavior of Peoples from 21 Countries” based on an analysis of over 4000 numerology readings of leaders from each country, seeing them as representative of their nations.
Both Sheldon and Ginat have the particular wisdom that comes with self-healing. They founded the Rice House of Macrobiotic Study as a home-based consulting practice offering a wide range of macrobiotic, numerology, palmistry, shiatsu, and life coaching services. These include health consultations, cooking lessons, and study courses in macrobiotic theory, health diagnosis, shiatsu, and palm healing. They offer a residential experience of macrobiotic living in a comprehensive program of learning and practice. Sheldon offers personal and group numerology readings, and classes in numerology training.
We support the stated mission of the Kushi Institute: “To teach, guide and inspire individuals towards greater personal freedom, health, happiness and peace by using the principles of macrobiotics.” This has been our life goal and passion since the early 1980s, from the time we each discovered the macrobiotic way of life.
