A free 60-minute live workshop for women who feel out of control around food when the holidays get stressful, and are ready for this year to feel different.
The Stress-Eating
🎄Holiday Survival Masterclass🎄
How to Stop Stress-Eating in the Moment, without Restriction, Dieting, or “Being Good”
🗓️ Thursday, December 4
⏰ 1 PM CT (Live on Zoom)
💸 Free to attend live. Replay available for purchase.
The holidays are supposed to be about joy, connection, and celebration.
But if you’ve ever found yourself:
● Standing in front of the fridge at 10 PM after a long day of family dynamics
● Sneaking cookies you didn’t even want, just to get a moment of relief
● Feeling that familiar knot of anxiety about what you’ll eat at the party
● Swearing you’ll “be good” and then spiraling anyway
…you know there’s a gap between the holiday season you want and the one you’re actually living.
This isn’t a self-discipline problem.
It’s a nervous system problem.
When stress meets holiday schedule overwhelm, your body does what it’s learned to do to keep you safe: It reaches to food. Throw in some difficult family dynamics, and it’s back and forth to the pie leftovers, even though you don’t even really want the pie.
In this masterclass, I’ll show you how to work with your body instead of fighting it, so you can move through the season grounded, present, and at peace with food.
This Free Masterclass Is For You If…
You turn to food when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally flooded, especially around family and holidays
You’re tired of white-knuckling your way through parties and events, hoping you’ll “be good”
You wake up the next day promising yourself you’ll start over… and then repeat the same patterns
You want a somatic, body-based way to shift stress-eating that doesn’t involve dieting, tracking, or shaming yourself
If you’re nodding your head, you’re in the right place.
In 60 Minutes, You’ll Learn:
1. The real reason you reach for food when you’re stressed (and why willpower always fails).
I’ll walk you through the neuroscience of stress-eating and what’s happening in your nervous system when the holiday overwhelm hits — so you can stop making it mean something is wrong with you.
I’ll walk you through the neuroscience of stress-eating and what’s happening in your nervous system when the holiday overwhelm hits — so you can stop making it mean something is wrong with you.
2. A 3-minute practice to stop a stress-eating spiral in real time.
This is the somatic tool I use with all my clients. You can do it:
in the middle of a family gathering
standing in your kitchen after everyone’s gone to bed
before or after an office party
You’ll leave with this in your body, not just in your head.
3. How to enjoy the foods you love without guilt, anxiety, or losing control.
You’ll learn how to be with food from a place of presence instead of protection, so you can taste, savor, and feel satisfied — without the emotional aftermath.
4. The invisible pattern that keeps you cycling between restriction and overindulgence (and how to break it before the New Year).
I’ll show you the nervous-system pattern underneath the “all or nothing” cycle — and exactly how to step into a new way of being with your body and with food.
BONUS FOR LIVE ATTENDEES
Free gift: Take 10 Somatic Guide — a simple, embodied practice you can use anytime you feel stress rising or the pull toward food when you’re not physically hungry. This is the exact framework I teach inside my immersions.
Live Coaching + Q&A — Bring your real questions, real stories, and real holiday situations. I’ll coach you in real time and help you apply what you’re learning directly to your life.
This is where the shifts land.

Meghan Makena is the founder of Amba and a somatic embodiment practitioner who has spent over 20 years guiding women home to their bodies.
She’s walked this path herself — from years of emotional eating and feeling disconnected, to living in deep alignment with her inner wisdom and at peace with food.
Meghan holds degrees in Exercise Physiology and Psychology from UC Davis and has owned two wellness studios. Her work bridges:
Self-leadership
Somatic + nervous system tools
Embodiment and receptivity training
…all grounded in the sacred understanding that your body is not the problem.
She’s guided hundreds of women to:
Find peace with food
Reconnect to the living wisdom in their bodies
Break free from patterns that once felt impossible to change
She now lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and believes transformation doesn’t come from “more information”, it comes from coming back into relationship with the living intelligence already in your body.
This Holiday Season Doesn’t Have to Be a Repeat of Last Year.
You don’t have to brace yourself for another round of stress, overwhelm, and out-of-control eating.
You don’t have to wait until January to feel more at peace.
And you definitely don’t have to figure this out alone.
Join me live on Thursday, December 4 at 1 PM CT for the Stress-Eating Holiday Survival Masterclass.
Let’s do this together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be a replay?
Yes, but it costs $97. The live workshop is completely free if you show up.
The Q&A and my direct guidance during the session won't be included in the recording—those are only for live attendees.
What if I can't make it the whole 60 minutes?
Come for whatever time you can. Even 20 minutes will give you tools you can use immediately. But the full experience is designed to take you on a journey from understanding what's happening to knowing exactly what to do about it.
Is this just another food freedom, intuitive eating talk?
We all know intuitive eating doesn't work because we've tried it and ended up eating two entire chocolate bars. This is different. Come to the masterclass, and I'll tell you all about how we approach it differently.
