Born in Thessaliniki, Ellas, in 1959.

I came to Norway to live with my Norwegian wife in March 2020. The pandemic took care of our fear of living together, something we are very grateful for. The global dis ease has also activated the collective immune system and opened the collective "I", becoming the focus of my work: Collective healing, and  trauma informed acupuncture.

I had my acupuncture practice in Amsterdam for 20 years and in London the 20 years before. I was too 20 years old when I came to London as an art student. This kind of patterning, sacred science, has tought me in a ciclical way, in my dreams. It is difficult to put into words. There are no conclusions, and yet a certain guidance, divine intervention, a clear calling. So it was the healing arts that I was blessed with, finding Tao house: the 5-element acupuncture school. 

In the 80ies, acupuncture meant human development for patient and practitioner. We did not use books! The diagnostic means of pulse taking, and sensing the dominant emotion, color, sound and odour were then for us a way to develop our senses and our humanity, to touch people. These diagnostic methods are  are now lost  in the fast fix world. Acupuncture, expressing our holographic and universal nature, has now become intellectual property of as my teacher Almaas puts it: Heads without body.

I have 5 planets in Virgo, and I love to learn, how to learn how to learn. I trained in all aspects of oriental medicine, including herbs and diet, meridian body work, Reiki, Feng Shui and Qi Gong.   

And now at the age of 65, I am learning more than ever.  I always seen  nature and its universal origin to be the true teacher and healer. Holistic medicine means that we are made perfect by nature for a purpose,  It is when our purpose is obscured and our iself healing capasity lost, that the practitioner will work together to clear blocks, clean the body from viruses and obstructions and find out what needs to change!  The holistic approach asks for your response ability: Nobody can do it for you, and yet, nobody can do it alone!  I am looking forward to sharing this challenge with you!

 

1) Living with the seasons: Treatment and courses in utilizing the seasons to heal chronic illness and promote emotional attunement.

2)  Neck stress release treatment. For people suffering from stress, especially from computer work.                Added are acupuncture points to balance individual patterns. Klients find that this treatment has lasting effects, prevents illness, and optimizes working performance.

3) Restore inner biodiversity. Each one of us is in a different stage of this journey. Includes restoring the intestines and their flora, treating digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, and sugar addiction.

4) NeuroLinguistic Alignment; Instead of NLprogramming ourselves, we apply the same NLP skills and principles to align ourselves with collective creativity and intelligence. From there we can work together.
