“I would always eat my way through the December holidays in anticipation of restriction in January. This time I didn’t do that and so enjoyed my holiday! I loved eating what I wanted with no guilt. I didn’t overeat at every meal because it was the last time I could eat this food. What a relaxed holiday. Thank you Xen!!”

Who teaches How to Handle Eating in the Holidays?
I’m Xenia Ayiotis, a certified Intuitive & Mindful Eating Coach. I am a licensed Be Body Positive Facilitator through The Body Positive. I am also a certified Life Coach through The Life Coach School. I have been working as a coach since 2011, helping women heal their relationship with food.
I came to this work through my own food challenges. I struggled with food and body image issues for over 30 years. I was a chronic dieter, struggled with severe restriction followed by binge eating, and negative body image. I was fortunate enough to find Intuitive Eating and Mindfulness. Coaching has helped me transform my relationship with food and my body and my life! For this reason, this work is very meaningful to me. I have seen and experienced how recovering from a dysfunctional relationship with food can transform every aspect of your life.
My purpose is to help successful, mature women who have been struggling with food challenges for decades to finally find peace with food and live a meaningful life of freedom. I feel privileged and grateful to share this work with women. I offer private one on one coaching sessions, the Food Freedom group programme, retreats and workshops.

Why did I create the holiday eating programme?
Going away on holiday and the December holiday season can be a difficult time for people. It’s a busy time. Working with clients over the years, I have seen that most feel really anxious about food and social events over the holidays. For those of us with food and body image challenges going on holiday can be even more difficult. Everyone deserves to enjoy their holiday and feel relaxed and enjoy food and all of the aspects of their holiday! This is your support to eat with joy during your holiday!

Do I need to have any prior knowledge of Mindful or Intuitive Eating?
Not at all! This is a Holiday Eating course so we touch on the Intuitive and Mindful Eating principles where applicable.
I am familiar with Intuitive and Mindful eating. Will this course offer me something new?
Yes! Absolutely! I've designed the course to address common challenges specifically with holidays and eating. If you’re already familiar with Intuitive Eating and Mindful Eating this course will help you establish more of the principles during your holiday.
I’m struggling with an eating disorder. Can I take this course?
This course is designed to help people with a history of yo-yo dieting and dysfunctional eating navigate holiday eating peacefully and joyfully. It’s not meant for people with active eating disorders or those in the initial stages of eating disorder recovery.
Do I need to do the course in order of the lessons?
It’s a good idea to start with Lesson 1 if you are not familiar with Intuitive Eating and follow with Lesson 2. You can do the rest of the lessons in any order. If you are already familiar with Intuitive Eating you could skip Lesson 1 but I recommend you listen or read as a refresher.
