Biography:
Oliver Cowmeadow was a biology teacher when he discovered and began studying nutrition in 1980 and embarked on an intensive study of Oriental medicine in London, America and Europe, specialising in macrobiotics and shiatsu.
He moved to Cornwall in 1984 and later to Devon, to start practising and teaching, and in 1985 he set up the Devon School of Shiatsu, which has now trained many successful shiatsu practitioners.
In the 1990's he studied the emotional side of healing with courses in psychotherapy, rebirthing and counselling, which he has now integrated with his use of Oriental medicine.
Oliver combined his enthusiasm for nutrition and oriental medicine by opening, in Spring 2003, the Holistic Cooking School and more recently the International Macrobiotic School based in South Devon. He offers a range of beginners and more advanced courses including a three year training in Macrobiotic & Life Counselling (further details below).
Oliver has two adult children, raised from birth using macrobiotic principles and has written five books on nutrition, cooking and shiatsu.
DIETARY CONSULTATIONS
Oliver gives consultations at the Holistic Cooking School in Devon and occasionally when teaching in other towns or cities. In the first consultation, of one and half hours, Oliver considers the whole physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual side of health and gives extensive dietary and other recommendations. Follow up is by email or telephone and further one hour consultations as necessary. Please email or telephone to make an appointment, oliver@holistic-cooking.co.uk or 01803 762598.
THREE YEAR TRAINING IN MACROBIOTIC DIETARY & LIFE COUNSELLING (www.macroschool.co.uk)
There is a great need at this time for well-trained dietary counselors, who are able to use an holistic approach taking into account people's whole physical and emotional health and life styles and life paths. To meet this need, Oliver Cowmeadow and Marijke De Coninck have designed a three year part-time course offering a deep and comprehensive training in the science and art of healing with food, with specific food remedies, teas and compresses, along with helping emotional and life changes.
This will also be a course of transformation for the students themselves. Through an understanding of their own physical health, students will be able to use changes in diet, lifestyle and special exercises to heal health problems and learn to maintain a high state of health. The course will also give a thorough understanding of the effect of our emotions and past experiences on our health and will offer ways of transforming old held emotions and stuck patterns.
The whole course will comprise a minimum of 600 hours of teaching, with much guided practice and further optional activities. The first year of 200 hours consists of 7 long weekends with two intakes per year.
Please request the course details by emailing info@holistic-cooking.co.uk for the public programme, or info@macroschool.co.uk for the professional training or phone Oliver Cowmeadow or Marijke De Coninck at the Holistic Cooking school on 01803 762598 to discuss your participation.
