I'm a feminine embodiment facilitator, founder of the Amba Method, overeating expert, and creator of The Embodiment Solution--a proven 3-step path for women to overcome emotional eating and feel at home in their skin. These two ways I support women have emerged from my own healing crises. For over 20 years, I was stuck in emotional eating patterns. The physical weight I'd gained was nothing compared to the emotional burden I carried and the nonstop battle in my mind. I tried clean eating plans, cleanses, diets, pushed myself to exercise harder... but the pattern kept coming back...and getting worse every year. When I finally found my way to lasting peace with food, which started by getting my body out of protection mode, everything shifted for me. Not just with my eating, but with how I lived my life. From this, The Embodiment Solution was born. My journey wasn't only about food, though. I grew up in an environment that prized intellect, achievement and reason, and where all things feminine...creativity, feelings, intuition, and sensuality (if you know me now, you know that these are all the essence of my true nature)....were looked down upon, and even made fun of. In addition, the nurturing qualities of warmth, softness, and compassion were simply not present in my early life, so I went on a quest to uncover them within myself, one earth breath at a time. For years, I forced my way through each day: pushing, rushing, overriding my body's wisdom with excessive exercise, working 7 days a week, choosing to be in relationships where I was neglected, and sheer willpower. This led me to the edge of burnout before I found my way back to myself. This homecoming to my body and feminine nature became Amba, the method of embodiment that came out of my own need for a soft place to land, slow down, and feel truly nourished from within. When I started to teach embodiment in 2008, nobody had heard of that word. Now "embodiment coaches" are on every corner of the internet, slinging hip circles in sexy dresses on TikTok, I'm grateful to continue to offer a grounded, depth-focused embodiment practice space for women who are more seasoned meditators and yoginis. Today, I offer two pathways to work together:
1) The Embodiment Solution – For women ready to heal their relationship with food once and for all and break free from emotional eating. www.meghanmakena.com/register
2) The Amba Community (Embodied Babes) – We hold virtual gatherings and have an on-demand studio for women looking to go deeper into feminine embodiment, sensuality, and receptivity...honoring your body as the sacred vessel it truly is.
