Ways we can work together

My Approach

和敬

Gather

I am genuinely interested in you and your story. I listen without judgment to better understand you, your history, hopes, habits, and more. We are all different, so your story is important in my gathering the information I need to create a plan that is right for you.

初心

Create a Plan

I prioritize diverse plant-based meal plans and mindful eating to help heal chronic diseases and improve mental health. It makes me happy when a client says, “My body feels so clean and healthy” after incorporating daily vegetable miso soup and multigrain rice into their diet instead of sugary muffins and fast foods.

精進

Build Skills

Finding joy in cooking healthy meals and mindful eating is part of the healing process. Even my clients with little cooking experience love cooking with me. I provide food preparation and cooking tips along with simple, economical, and delicious recipes for all levels and needs. Mindful eating, Harahachibu, supports longevity.

Client Testimonial

“I was very fortunate to find Michiko's program.

I had been searching for a program that could accommodate my Gestational Diabetes needs while also offering plenty of authentic Japanese cooking. She was great at listening to and understanding my needs.

I learned not just about cooking but also about mindful eating and food preparation. Some of my family’s favorite dishes are her miso soup and ginger carrot dressing!

Michiko’s patience and expertise helped me with my GD during this pregnancy, and I will take the lessons and knowledge she gave to my husband and me well past our due date. Thank you みちこさん!”

— Client in California
