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 (that's me!) is an author of several produce-rich, plant-based, and vegan macrobiotic diet cookbooks, and is certified in Plant-Based Nutrition, Plant-Based Cooking, Macrobiotic Counseling, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Holistic C.O.R.E. Counseling, and holds a Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine.
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 her Intuitive Health Coaching Services.
Whether you are seeking a particular recipe, simple plant-based food prep tips, healthy savory condiments, healing teas, or other whole-foods, plant-based / plant-forward and vegan or macrobiotic related articles, or your are interested in learning more about Chinese 5-Elements and seasonal eating, enjoy browsing!
Tracy is an Intuitive Vegan Health Coach with plenty of content, books, and even a couple free e-books for you to explore. Her main strategy 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.
OK, let's talk directly. Enough of the third person. I write all the content on my website and blog, and wrote, edited, photographed and self-published all of my books - for better or for worse! I value authenticity, and am doing my best to avoid using A.I., at least for now.
I will be honest. I have been practicing holistic healing therapies, including acupuncture, massage, Reiki and my own unique form of Energy Healing for several decades. I have amassed several degrees and certifications. Despite my seeming success, I often felt like I had an identity crisis. I never felt comfortable applying a label which often only told half of the story of who I am, and why I am here.
Well, because of my own quest - to better know thyself, and how I can best reach the people I believe I can best serve - I finally chose the title Intuitive Vegan Health Coach. Although the terms 'intuitive' and 'vegan' may trigger many people, those who resonate will find me.
Intuitive Vegan Health Coach refers to my unique blend of services synthesizing modalities and tools 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 illuminated life.
It also refers to the heightened intuition, clarity, and inner peace I have experienced since restoring a plant-based / vegan / macrobiotic diet that most aligns with my heart. I believe you will enjoy the same as you transition to a diet centered around whole, and minimally processed nutrient-rich plant foods.
One of my passions is to help people see how great life can be as a vegan, especially given the negative stigma the term vegan has these days. Although I am a Vegan Intuitive Health Coach, many of my clients ~ both in-person, and at a distance ~ do NOT come to me for vegan diet-related health coaching!
I also specialize in working with HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons), and those who get easily overwhelmed, or feel anxious, lack confidence, and/or struggle coping 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.
So, to answer the question, What is an Intuitive Vegan Health Coach? I would say, yes, I am vegan and offer a nuanced, intuitive form of diet selection and health coaching, and I use my intuition to help clients learn how to overcome their mental and emotional blocks, and make every bite and thought count.
I can help whether you are looking for dietary help, or my other Intuitive Health Coaching Services. In other words, you don't have to be vegan nor want dietary coaching to enjoy my content, books and services.
My passion is providing resources - books and articles - here and on my blog, along with my signature 'SASSY' - Super Affordable, Simple, Satisfying & Yummy - recipes to help more people enjoy the clarity, peace and vitality experienced when following healthy, well-planned, and balanced vegan, macrobiotic, and/or produce-rich, plant-based or plant-dominant diets.
I offer my Intuitive Vegan Health Coaching services, locally in Southeastern Michigan, or at a distance.

Sunrise, Southeaster MichiganI have training in a variety of holistic healing arts fields, including Chinese medicine, hypnotherapy, Reiki, and as a hypnotherapist and Holistic C.O.R.E Counselor. I also have certifications in plant-based nutrition and cooking.
After decades of experience, I have learned that the greatest stumbling block to enjoying greater health, peace and joy is our own self. Erroneous and limiting beliefs, negative thinking, and unresolved emotions drains our energy and gets in our way.
My primary goal as an Intuitive Vegan Health Coach is to help you co-create a MAP to a healthy happy life.
I suggest checking out the links to my different services for greater detail of what I offer, and determine if my Intuitive Vegan Health Coaching seems like a good fit for you. Or, explore my website, blog and books to see if you can find what you are looking for!
