Intuitive Vegan Health Coach and Plant-Based Cookbook Author, Tracy Matesz, offers inspiration and support for living your most vibrant, healthy, and divinely aligned life.
Tracy holds a Masters of Science degree in Asian medicine, and is an author of several produce-rich, plant-based, and vegan macrobiotic cookbooks. She is certified in Plant-Based Nutrition, Plant-Based Cooking, Macrobiotic Counseling, and a variety of other holistic healing arts, including her signature Intuitive Energy Clearing & Healing based on 5-Elements.
Her flagship book, Make Every Bite Count, The SASSY ~ Super Affordable, Simple, Satisfying & Yummy ~ Produce-Rich, Plant-Based Path to Health highlights her practical and down-to-earth style which carries over into every aspect of her life, including all of her Holistic Healing & Intuitive Health Coaching Services.
Whether you are seeking a particular recipe, simple plant-based food prep tips, the best healthy savory condiments, healing teas, or other whole-foods, plant-based and vegan or macrobiotic related articles, or your are interested in learning more about seasonal eating according to Chinese 5-Elements, enjoy browsing!
Tracy's main strategy as an Intuitive Vegan Health Coach is to teach people how to fish...or rather how to 'self-heal' by sharing resources and tools, here on her website, on her Vegan Great Life blog, and as an Intuitive Vegan Health Coach, and Energy Healing Practitioner.
I have been practicing holistic healing therapies, including acupuncture, massage, Reiki reflexology, hypnotherapy, and Energy Healing for several decades. I have amassed several degrees and certifications, which you can read about, here.
After decades of being unclear as to how to best 'label' who I am, and what I offer, I finally chose the title Intuitive Vegan Health Coach, despite knowing that the terms 'intuitive' and 'vegan' may unfortunately trigger some people.
Intuitive Vegan Health Coach refers to my unique blend of services synthesizing my training and intuitive gifts to guide and support you, whether you need help with weight loss or health concerns, or you feel stuck, easily overwhelmed, lack clarity, and/or you desire to live your best, most joy-filled, illuminated life.
You do not need to be vegan to enjoy the benefits of my intuitive health coaching and holistic healing services.
I also chose this title because as a 'Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)' with strengths of empathy, intuition and connectedness, a vegan macrobiotic diet and lifestyle ~ living in harmony with Nature and adherence to the Golden Rule ~ best aligns with my heart.

I intuitively weave together my training in various holistic healing techniques, with my background in plant-based cooking and nutrition, macrobiotics, and Chinese 5-Elements and universal principles of balance.
I also help you learn to trust your intuition more, by teaching universal principles of balance. This will help you be less susceptible to diet fads, and rigid rules and restrictions.
I help you connect the dots between your predominant thoughts, beliefs and emotions, and your physical symptoms. And I help you make more empowering, self-healing choices, so you experience greater vitality, clarity, confidence, and peace.
I specialize in working with HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons), and those who get easily overwhelmed, lack clarity and direction, and/or struggle to cope in today's world. HSPs do very well with safe forms of healing therapies, such as my unique form of Intuitive Energy Clearing based on Chinese 5-Elements, acupuncture, Reiki, gentler massage, sound healing, reflexology and others.
I teach clients how to overcome their mental and emotional blocks, and make every bite - or every thought and action - count with simple, practical diet and/or lifestyle suggestions.
I love coaching and supporting those ready to improve their health, lose weight, or create a more sustainable, healthy plant-based (or plant-forward) diet with simple dietary suggestions.
I equally love helping clients gain more clarity and peace from my other Intuitive Energy Clearing, and Holistic Healing Services.
Both of these branches are rooted in the tree of who I became as a result of my own physical and emotional challenges, and my quest to live my most illuminated life.
I am on a mission to help others experience the same.
