Michael Rossoff, L.Ac.
Michael Rossoff, L.Ac. has lived a macrobiotic lifestyle for 51 years. During these years he has directed macrobiotic education centers, published a magazine (MacroMuse), and taught in numerous cities in the U.S., Europe, Canada and Israel. Since 2006 he has been privileged to teach programs at Concord Institute in London. Michael’s first macrobiotic studies were with Michio Kushi, in Boston in the late 1960s, along with shiatsu studies with Shizuko Yamamoto, followed by acupuncture studies in England with J.R. Worsley. He spent the entire year of 1999 pursuing advanced studies at the Maryland Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, then served as the academic dean and key teacher at Atlantic University of Chinese Medicine from 2000-2003. He taught shiatsu massage for 10 years at the N.C. School of Natural Healing.
Michael combines the benefits and wisdom of both macrobiotics and Oriental medicine in his approach to healing, both with his personal counseling sessions and public teaching. His keen interest in western medical science began in his college years and he continues to give close attention to western views and developing understanding of disease and healing.
During a private counseling session Michael reviews the personal information and concerns that you have filled-out on a form, then asks questions as needed and uses various oriental diagnosis techniques (taking your pulses for the twelve meridians, looking at the tongue, face and hands) to assess your current health condition. He takes your constitutional nature and past health concerns into account to give you personalized analysis and feedback, along with key changes for making your best progress. Specific dietary recommendations, acupressure points, and lifestyle suggestions are provided in writing. During the consultation Michael also relies on intuitive insights that often provide significant help with blockages and emotional issues. His goal is to offer you clear steps for changing and healing yourself for the greater health and happiness you desire.
Since 1995, Michael has lived in Asheville, North Carolina, in the south eastern United States where he maintains a private practice of acupuncture and counseling, and continues his teaching and travels. When an in-person session is not possible, Michael is available for personal counseling by telephone or Skype.
