Welcome beloved,

I am Alexandra Mitsiou, a food stylist and sensorialist who is working with food as a medium of nourishment and conscious embodiment in order to reconnect us back to our bodies and the body of the Earth through the portals of our senses. My teachings consist of a weaving between my personal healing journey around my relationship with nourishment as well as my professional work with food and the Earth for more than 15 years.

I am guiding intuitive tailor made sessions and circles where space and energy is created to dive deeper into the individual’s relationship with food and nourishment and reframe the way they nourish themselves. 

I am combining an energetic, intuitive, scientific and a heart felt approach to food, to offer the tools to heal oneself around eating disorders or limitations facing around food and nourishment by cultivating presence through somatic practices, food connection, sensory awakening, intuitive guidance and knowledge sharing on foods. 

My method utilises the qualities of food such as food textures, forms, colours, smell and tastes, energetic qualities of foods, as codes to initiate an embodied expression of information stored in the body linked to the imbalanced patterns of our nourishment and then in turn reframe and reprogram the way we allow ourselves to be nourished.

I am also mesmerised by the language of the ancestral ways of food preparation and the memory codes they unlock within our bodies and how they are connecting us to our ancestral lines. I am aspiring to keep them alive through her work and propagate the knowledge for the future generations to come.

I am aspiring to reconnect modern humans back to their bodies and to the body of the Earth through the portals of the senses using one of the most important resources we are utilising everyday; Food.

I am using food as a a sensory code of communication with the body and a medium to reconnect us back to our bodies and to the body of the Earth through the portals of our senses + sensory awakening.

I have witnessed the great healing potential into that reconnection.

Food can be nourishing, food can be healing, food can bring us together and create trust and bonding. It shapes our body, our soul, our moods, our culture and society.

I am inspired by the sensory qualities of the food elements and the emotions, feelings and memories they could bring up. The food codes they unlock within us and the information that arises in connection to our past and to our somatic memories related to food.

  • Food rituals and celebrations have been essential to every ancient civilizations and more recent ones. Food rituals help us shift our consciousness by brigning our attention to the natural gifts.

    We weave a physical, spiritual and energetic connection to the Earth, to the food plants and food systems that support our existence.

    Through these rituals we appreciate, respect and feel gratitude for the abundance of the food resources.

    We heal our relationship to food, to our own bodies and to the body of the Earth.

  • Connecting to food in a deeper way via awakening our sensory pathways it helps us rediscover its essence and cultivate an intuitive knowing of how our body wants to be nourished on a day to day basis.

    We usually nourish ourselves according to the information coming from our minds on what we think is healthy for us and what we think is not. It might be an advice given by a friend on what they consume and feels good to them, the latest news about a new super food, what our dietician has prescribed as a program of nourishment according to an algorithm on the computer, and so on. At the same time, we might restrict ourselves on foods that our mind consider as loaded with calories, fats or carbohydrates. We might also be consuming the supposedly healthier low fat products that are however highly processed. 

    When you cultivate the connection to your body and when you are re-awakening the sensory pathways that help you perceive and feel connection with the external influences, you have the ability to connect to the essence of the foods on a deeper level. 

    Through training of these pathways, you could sense the information coming from your body on whether you are resonating or not with certain ingredients and foods beyond what your mind or conditioning might have instilled into you. 

    Reconnecting back to the body is rewiring you to your inner wisdom and the very special information that is only relevant to you and to your body on how you need to be nourished. 

    When you cultivate this connection you will be able to be guided entirely by your body towards foods that resonate with you on a day to day basis. In this way you will manage to regulate your weight, balance the yo-yo loss and weight gain, eat more healthy and most importantly be alighted with your body's wisdom. 

    No strict diet regimes and restrictions needed when you are awakening your inner wisdom and cultivating the dialog with your body's voice. At this stage the choices happen organically and you know what is good for you and what is not good for you. You will unapologetically follow the information coming from your body as you will be feeling better and more aligned each time. 

  • In the modern world most of us we have been disconnected from the earth and from the natural processes of growing food and following the process of transformation from seed to food. 

    As a result, we take food abundance for granted, we might be disconnected from seasonal foods or foods that grow on the local land where we are located. We also sometimes tend to over-consume or buy more than we need to as we don’t value the time and the earth energy that each ingredient required to be produced.

    Furthermore, the energetic connection between the earth, the local land and the food produced is interrupted, creating imbalances that could lead to us consuming more than what we are supposed to be consuming or feeling empty or unsatisfied even if we have just eaten. 

    When you meet the essence of an ingredient from its biology to its cycle of life on this earth that created it, you are opening up a dialog and a conversation between the ingredient and your body to discover if this is something for you.

    Through theory and practices aiming to awakening the body and its connection to the Earth, we are weaving again this thread and heal this unbalanced relationship.

  • Conscious eating is about slowness and consuming food with intention and attention by engaging all our senses.

    Conscious eating is about consuming according to our body’s inner wisdom on how they want to be nourished.

    Conscious eating is about connecting with the essence of the foods and choosing if this is something for us on a day to day basis.

    The benefits of this practice is that you are nourishing your body with exactly the foods they need to consume. Cutting down on processed foods and simplifying your diet. Eating more pure and wholesome foods as well as being conscious on the amounts you are consuming. The direct benefits is higher energy levels, a feeling of bliss and vitality, a feeling of satisfaction with less food, and weight control in a sustainable way with long term effects.

  • Tailor made sessions to guide you back to your body in connection to your nourishment. Help you reframe your relationship to food and assist you reconnect with your body’s wisdom.

  • Team bonding events for companies as well as custom program design for retreats or hotels based on the food connection context.
