I was born in Athens in 1969. My first degree was completed in 1993 at the Kapodistrian University of Athens, in the science of Physics. The stimuli and reflections that I received through this study gave me a picture of the overall way that nature works (macrocosm and microcosm), knowledge that influences all my subsequent choices and pursuits . Training and professional choices followed that offered me valuable experiences and breadth in my way of thinking and perception. Having already become interested in Eastern philosophies and ways of thinking during my practice of Eastern martial arts since adolescence, I received initiation into the first degree of Reiki (Usui System of Natural Healing) in 1999. Since then, my pursuits and interests have turned to health prevention and traditional-alternative healing arts. With this direction, I gradually studied and practiced in: Acupuncture & moxa therapy (traditional and classical Chinese medicine) Thai Yoga Massage and Osteo Thai Massage Relaxing and therapeutic oil massage Spinal therapy (massage) Massage in a sitting position Cupping and lymphatic massage Energy massage and acupuncture for horses (and pets) Hypnosis (advanced level) Coaching & NLP Principles Counseling Intervention: Techniques & Counseling Skills Development Ermei Health Qigong & Tai Chi The schools where I was mainly taught and trained in the above healing arts were: ACADEMY (Academy of Ancient Greek and Traditional Chinese Medicine) AOM (Art of Oriental Medicine) Sunshine House NHS (Natural Health Science) Thai Massage Circus – Laos International College of Equine Therapies – Australia CHEERFUL DRAGON Center of Research and Science of Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan Coaching Ways – Athens DIODOS – School of Personal Development and Therapy In my educational history, I have many seminars (in and outside Greece) and webinars on special topics on Chinese Acupuncture. Among the world-class teachers I have learned from are Master Jeffrey Yuen and Kiiko Matsumoto. Through the education I received and its professional application, I soon focused my attention and interest on Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbal prescriptions, Qigong and other techniques). The methods and systems I was taught are: TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) which is now officially called CM (Chinese Medicine) in China, CCM (Classical CM), Classical 5 elements Acupuncture (of the Worsley school), Hunyuan, Stems & Branches, Si Yuan Balance Method (Dr.Tan), Su Jok, Master Tung (Dong) acupuncture, Oto-acupuncture, Abdominal acupuncture, Moxa-therapy, advanced Pulse diagnosis. Since 2008, I have been systematically and exclusively involved in the care of human health (prevention and treatment) with various cases such as restoring and enhancing well-being, problems of the physical body (human body e.g. relief of symptoms, restoration of health after surgeries, treatments of physical ailments, etc.), psychosomatic problems, management of stress and tension, etc. Between 2012-2017 I taught thematic modules in the 1st year of acupuncture and in the accelerated acupuncture department at the ACADEMY, and Thai yoga Massage (1st level ). I participated as an assistant in teaching Thai Yoga Massage to beginners (Sunshine House - Chalkida). At the same time, between 2014-2017 I personally organized and presented unified teaching modules for the further education of students of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. I organized and implemented the free massage program of the ACADEMY in Thissio for 2 summers. I collaborated with hotels in massage services. Now…. I work in one-on-one sessions in a private space in Chalandri and in home visits. My education does not stop here. I continue, attending seminars and advanced teachings in the above healing arts with priority in Chinese Acupuncture and more generally Traditional & Classical Chinese Medicine. Personal development and growth are important aspects and drivers in my life and in improving my work. So far I have done sports (swimming, martial arts, water polo, archery, horseback riding), music (modern drums), dance (contemporary) and… traveling which has helped me broaden my spiritual and mental horizons. Now…. I mainly practice archery and Qi Gong & Tai chi.
