Hi! I’m
Eleni
I help women over 40 reclaim their intuitive relationship with food and get back on friendly terms with their bodies. Through compassionate guidance on how to embrace mindfulness and intuitive eating, I support them in nourishing their body, trusting themselves with food, and embracing the changes that come with midlife – away from restrictive diets, guilt, shame and war with themselves.
My story
Like so many women, I spent my younger years under the influence of diet mentality. I had repeatedly found myself caught up in the endless cycle of restriction and overeating, never feeling truly healthy or at peace with my body. I had reached a point where I felt completely disconnected from my body’s hunger and fullness cues and even the thought of another diet would instantly make me miserable.
Learning about intuitive eating and mindfulness completely transformed my relationship with food. I relearned to trust my body’s signals and made peace with food again. Combined with a health-oriented choice of nutrient-dense foods that help the body and mind thrive, I managed to escape the influence of the diet culture and rediscover my instinctive relationship with food.
Then came midlife. And no matter how prepared I thought I was about the upcoming changes, perimenopause hit hard. Even though I drifted many times towards old habits and beliefs that reared their ugly heads, the same intuitive and mindful approach always brought me back to myself. A self that I kept feeling elusive. Still navigating the transition to post-menopause reality, I help women on the same path with empathy, evidence-based guidance and real-life strategies.
Empowering women over 40
For women, midlife comes with challenges. As we enter our 40s and beyond we face hormonal shifts that bring physical and mental changes and make it even harder to maintain a balanced and positive relationship with food. Perimenopause and menopause can become really overwhelming periods in a woman’s life, especially with the added societal pressure of looking a certain way and fighting age.
Working with women at this stage in their lives and also experiencing the changes firsthand led me to this new coaching path on my journey.
Exercise motivator here!
Movement has always been part of my story. Even though there have been times in my life that exercise became a means to a smaller number on the scale, my love for physical movement was too big to fade. Through the years I’ve set all my family and many friends on the amazing path to wellness that only exercise can pave. I love all kinds of exercise but I have a special interest in hiking, strength training, dancing and yoga.
I love all kinds of exercise but I have a special interest in hiking, strength training, dancing and yoga. As a health coach, certified by the American Council on Exercise, I help people discover their own favorite exercise and find ways to make it part of their daily lives. As a certified yoga instructor, I integrate the power of mindful connection with the body in every part of my coaching.
