Born in Thessaliniki, Ellas, in 1959.

I came to Norway to visit my partner in March 2020. The pandemic meant us choosing to live together, leading me to embrace yet another homeland! It also meant a world crisis, that added new dimensions to my work with acupuncture. I worked with hundreds of people dealing with stress, isolation, anxiety, immune collapse, addiction, or overwhelm!

For 20 years I held an acupuncture practice in Amsterdam, and before that, for 20 years in London. What moves me to move so much is my deep love for planet earth. Her wisdom traditions, her sacred sites, her ancient rivers, her earthlings, made by her in her likeness. I discover humanity in myself and my loved ones, and believe this to be true health and true medicine. We are the solution and the medicine. 

After 45 years of work and study I am still studying more than ever, surfing the waves of human development. I emerge myself in the next wave of rising awareness, cherishing the transformation processes that we share. Our challenges are making us more human.

I am grateful for Chinese medicine, and I have received every aspect of TCM with both arms! Herbalism, geomancy, bodywork, meditation, Qi Gong, sources of wisdom and power.

 

Most importantly Chinese medicine gave me the means to embody universal medicine. I studied every healing tradition, ancient and new, arriving more and more to the underlying principles, and their source in all of us.

The last 25 years I am blessed with the Ridwan school, the path of presence and inquiry; The Diamond Approach, with A.H. Almaas.  I see that presence and inquiry: Approaching life with not knowing and curiosity is a path we all are streaming towards, to achieve inner freedom.

5 element acupuncture helps on the path of self-realisation, by restoring the authentic signature, the natural frequency of a person. That brings all functions back to balance healing dis-ease.

 

 

I believe that self-healing is a birthright for all and I am happy to facilitate these unique self-healing processes in individual and group sessions. I have developed

1) Living with the seasons: Each season is balancing specific areas of our lives. If we let it.

2)  Neck and shoulder stress release treatment. Adjusted to individual needs, this treatment offers lasting relaxation,  prevents illness, and optimizes performance.

3) Treating digestive disorders. Each one of us is in a different stage of this journey. Includes restoring the intestines and their flora, our inner biodiversity.

4) Neuro-Linguistic Alignment; Instead of NLP: programming ourselves for personal success, we apply the same skills and principles to align ourselves with collective creativity and intelligence. It is the art of manifestation applied for the good of all!

5) Trauma healing, personal, collective and ancestral: We are made perfect by nature. It is often trauma that knocks us out of our natural ease and functionality. Healing and processing trauma is often the solution to persisting illness.
