Eva Madeira

Biography:

I'm Eva, creator of the EVAGOODLIFE project, with a youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/evagoodlife) through which I share a healthy lifestyle in order to bring more people a full life, through food, physical practices and daily habits.

I am a mother of three children, graduated in Advertising and Marketing and I met Macrobiotics in 2015. I attended the 3 levels of the annual course of Macrobiotics and the training in Macrobiotic Mentoring at the Macrobiotic Institute of Portugal. Over the last few years I have been developing and participating in courses, workshops and showcookings on macrobiotics.

By following a macrobiotic lifestyle I was able to achieve many changes in my life and the impact was so positive that I quit my 12 year job as a medical information officer and decided to share with the world the recipes that changed my life and that can certainly change the lives of many other people.

Today I teach Macrobiotic cooking at the Macrobiotic School of Portugal and dedicate most of my time to develop the evagoodlife project in its various aspects.

If you want to know a little more about this project and if you are looking for a good life, visit the page www.evagoodlife.com and follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/evagoodlife/

Have a good life, evagoodlife!

Trish Dent

Biography:

Do you wish to create vibrant health in your life? I am here to support you in realising your dream. Although I had been interested in health and fitness for a long time, it wasn’t until I became acutely ill myself that I began a long journey to transform my health and wellbeing. As a result, I initially qualified and worked as a Shiatsu practitioner from the late 1990s. Sonia Moriceau (Mindfulness, meditation and Shiatsu) and Michael Webster (Waveform) were inspirational teachers post training, while I continued to work and assist in the macrobiotic realm with Anna Mackenzie and Neil Gulliver. More recently I have trained internationally as a yoga teacher. As a result of my wide-ranging studies, I bring a unique set of skills to my work supporting people who want to create lasting change in their health and wellbeing. My approach is truly holistic and I will support you in mind, body and spirit on your journey to better health. I live in a wonderful part of England near the Suffolk coast and it’s the ideal environment in which to begin the journey to create change in your life. I can organise a personal retreat in my area where I can give you one-to-one guidance with diet, exercise, meditation and other techniques. I also work with clients via Skype and email. I run macrobiotic cooking classes from my rural kitchen using local ingredients and I cater for macrobiotic groups and holistic retreats both in England and abroad.

Lara Holmes

Biography:

Lara is a macrobiotic Health Consultant, cook and enthusiastic teacher; with a caring an nurturing approach to her cooking and teaching.

"I first came across Macrobiotics by accident! I saw an advert for a Holistic Cooking school which resonated with me as I was keen to heal my own health through food, discovered it taught Macrobiotic cooking and have never looked back. My physical health improved quickly, my energy levels returned , my digestion improved and I began to understand myself better and my individual needs. I greatly appreciate how Macrobiotics looks at each person as a unique individual.

I studied for 3 years at the International Macrobiotic School. Returning a few years later to the school to teach and guide others with their well being through cooking delicious wholefood and an understanding of how different foods, lifestyles and emotions can affect our well being.

I am particularly passionate about teaching how to make delicious refined sugar free and wholefood desserts. This was something I struggled to do, missed when I started changing my diet and wanted to be able to make for my then young children.

With two teenagers now and 3 step children I also understand well how to cook for a family.

My other joys include nature and gardening, through my work I actively encourage the use of ingredients that support the well being of us but also our beautiful and wondrous planet.

With yoga, music and dance also bringing me much happiness.

I currently teach at the Macrobiotic School in Devon, run courses online and work with individuals as a Macrobiotic health coach and cook. I look forward to hearing from anyone who may think they would like to know more about how to nourish yourself well."
