From an early age, I was drawn to exploring the depth of human experience—how body and mind communicate, how relationships shape us, and how awareness can transform daily life. My personal journey through yoga, meditation, and psychotherapy led me to the realization that true change begins when we cultivate connection with ourselves and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

Today, I work as a Somatic and Systemic Counselor, supporting individuals and groups in developing self-regulation, self-awareness, and balance. In my sessions, I weave together insights from psychology and neurobiology with embodied practices such as yoga and meditation, creating a living therapeutic space that adapts to each person’s unique needs.

I trained in Systemic and Family Counseling at the Laboratory for the Study of Human Relations, and since 2008 I have been dedicated to the study and practice of yoga and meditation. I specialized in clinical yoga, focusing on mental health disorders, autoimmune conditions, and neurological diseases, integrating yoga as a complementary tool within therapeutic and medical contexts.

In 2012, I founded Ganesha Yoga Studio, a space for self-awareness, education, and healing, and from 2022 to 2025, I served as Co-Director & Manager of Synthesis – The Wellness Hub. I have also collaborated as a partner in the program “Emotion in History and Contemporary Psychology” at the Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University(Washington D.C.). In addition, I have taught and supervised yoga teacher training programs, integrating yogic philosophy with systemic epistemology.

My path began differently: I studied Maritime Studies at the University of Piraeus and worked in the maritime field until 2008. This background equipped me with methodical thinking, scientific rigor, and organizational skills—all of which continue to inform my therapeutic and educational practice today.

I deeply believe that every individual carries within them the innate resources for healing and growth. My mission is to provide the framework, knowledge, and support for these resources to unfold and become a living force for change.
