# 1 path to true nourishment beyond food

Your new era of peace starts here 🕊️ www.ambamethod.com

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.

As I reflect on 2025, no year has compared.

I’ve had this on my heart to share, but hesitated because I know so many reading this have had tough years. And I really didn’t want to give off the annoyingly excited freshly saved vibes and be *that* lady who can’t stop talking about Jesus.

But truly this statement from Psalms 84 could not be more true for me: “For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.”

If I tried to share my 2025 list of doors that have opened, spontaneous healings, miracles, and prophetic unfoldings….it would be far longer than the 2200 max character count of an Insta caption. And as it goes with an intimate relationship with the Father, most things are not to be shared outside of the space between us anyway.

Many stories will be shared eventually, as the time is right. But this is the moment it became real in my body.

On Christmas Eve last year, I stepped into Riverbend Church and felt an atmospheric electricity (I didn’t know then was the Holy Spirit). I described it to someone as “the air was lit up, sparkling and alive, pouring down from the ceiling” after having just met Jesus (by far the deepest spiritual encounter of my life) over Thanksgiving.

I’ve been so blessed with the most intelligent, anointed mentors on this journey of being wholly renewed. A new mind, a new heart, new dna, and more healing in 1 year than in all 25 years of seeking every spiritual nook and cranny on earth, looking everywhere but to the true God.

Tbh I *really* didn’t want to share this. Christians aren’t well liked right now. And it’s become clear that life-with-Christ is wildly misunderstood by “spiritual” people (as I used to be) who don’t yet know Him. I know I’ll be misunderstood by many. But I was guided to place this here.

Nothing I have ever done can compare to saying yes to an ever deepening, alive, intimate relationship with God into eternity.
Once you know His love, you go through a threshold and you cannot turn back, nor would you ever want to.

What God’s done for me and through me in 2025 brings me to my knees (literally) with gratitude swelling up so big I always end up soaking my shirt with sobbing tears every Sunday.🕊️

You don’t become an embodied woman after you get the body you want.

You get the body you want *because* you become embodied.

Become an embodied woman first. The rest takes care of itself.

12/11/2025

You’re not looking for a better version of the same things you’ve tried:

You’re not seeking another intuitive eating or “food freedom” program.

And you’re also not going to fall for another diet or weight loss trap again only to gain the weight back within weeks or months after losing it.

You’re looking for an entire entirely different track, a whole new way of being in relationship with your body and yourself.

That’s why I created The Embodied Woman.

Doors are closed right now until mid January. Get on the waitlist to be the first to hear about it.

Heal emotional eating and perimenopause weight changes with a gentle, embodied approach. Reconnect with your body and feel at peace again.

If you’re a hyper-independent, high performing woman, then reaching to food is the way you:
• Let yourself pause without permission
• Take in comfort without having to ask
• Feel something in your body when feeling safe with people isn’t available

These past few months have been an expansion season for me (to say the least!), but not coming out of more push or force. I’m inspired to share and give than ever, not out of over-working or striving, but from the natural exhale that is serving others. If the inhale is receiving from Spirit, the exhale is pouring our hearts out to help this lost and dying world in every way we can.

And what I’ve noticed is that when serving comes from having first deeply received (instead of from my beloved adrenals) it has a completely different texture to it . . . it’s not contracted, it’s alive and expanded. It’s from 10X-ing receptivity.

But there’s a pattern that blocks this in almost every woman I work with, and it’s so subtle she often doesn’t recognize it herself.

It’s the part of her that has quietly stopped believing there’s more for her, the part that shrinks back from wanting too much, that has learned to keep her dreams small so she doesn’t have to feel the ache of disappointment, the part that whispers maybe I’m not worthy of that or maybe this is just as good as it gets for me.

She often doesn’t even know she’s doing it. She’s normalized it. She’s called it wisdom, or contentment, or being realistic. But it’s not any of those things . . . it’s a closing, a slow quiet shutting down of her capacity to receive.

Everyone’s talking about 10x-ing your life. But what if we started by 10x-ing your receptivity?

On Wednesday, December 10th at 7pm CST I’m hosting a 75-minute live masterclass called The Receptivity Codes . . . on expanding and becoming available to what Life is already trying to give to you.

I’ll be teaching the three patterns that block receptivity and how they disguise themselves as spiritual maturity, an upgrade in how I approach my thoughts these days that I call Quantum Mind which has completely shifted how I experience reality, and guiding you through a journey with advanced receptivity practices.

This will be a taste of the deep work we do inside Omega, my six-month mentorship opening in January.

This past year has been nothing short of miraculous in my world. Not because life got easier, but because I finally learned how to clear my unconscious programming and patterns of self sabotage, and allow the past to be lifted by Spirit 🕊️ truly it’s felt like a massive weight has lifted (figuratively and literally as I did lose 19 lbs this year but that’s a story for another day)

I spent years unwinding trauma, healing, understanding “why”.
And while all of that was holy and critical, it wasn’t until the shifts and training and learning I’ve done this year that everything opened up.

Spirit-Led Dreams is a workshop I made for my clients who are coming out of a season of healing and ready to blossom. If you’re not my client, I’m willing to gift it to you 💝

This isn’t gentle inner work, so it’s not for someone in a deep healing season. It’s a catalyst that will expand you and open you to what comes next.
