My first degree is a Bachelor&#8217;s in Management from Southeastern College. For several years, I worked in this field within the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>From a relatively young age, I developed an interest in Eastern philosophies and the connection between emotions, mind, and body. Facing my own health issues, I sought to understand their underlying causes. At the age of 18, I came into contact with complementary therapies, experiencing exceptional results. Since then, they have become an integral part of my life.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, after learning the therapeutic techniques of Reconnective Healing and Reconnection, being initiated into Usui Reiki, and completing self-awareness courses, I realized that my deepest desire was to fully dedicate myself to the healing arts and to providing care for relief and healing.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, I began my studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Moxa Therapy, and Tuina, completing a three-year training program at the Academy of Ancient Greek and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2010, I attended related courses in Tianjin, China, which included clinical practical training at a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital. In 2011, I completed an internship at Vitality, a holistic medicine and alternative therapies center.<\/p>\n<p>I received training in Tuina massage, Swedish massage, Lymphatic drainage massage, and Cupping.<\/p>\n<p>Building upon my foundation in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I also studied other acupuncture systems, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Si Yuan Balance Method of Dr. Tan<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Yamamoto Scalp Acupuncture (Y.N.S.A)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Master Tung<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Meridian Palpation Diagnosis<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Acupuncture<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Electro-Acupuncture<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Aesthetic Acupuncture<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From 2018 to 2021, I worked as the Head Therapist at &#8220;Euphoria Retreat \u2013 Holistic Wellbeing Destination Spa,&#8221; where I treated and helped dozens of people from all over the world. During this journey, I had the opportunity to train with the esteemed teachers Stefano Batagglia and Patrizia Bortolin.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2019, I have been teaching Tuina massage, a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine, at the Academy of Ancient Greek and Traditional Chinese Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout this journey, and in pursuit of a deeper understanding of human existence for the improvement of physical and emotional health, I have trained and continue to train in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;Theta Healing&#8221; &#8211; Theta Inner Place, Maria Telidou<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;Body Mirror System&#8221; &#8211; The Brofman Foundation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;Mindfulness&#8221; and &#8220;Compassion Practitioner&#8221; &#8211; Harmony and Creativity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;Energy Healing of the Spine&#8221; &#8211; Stefan Rippel<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I continue this wonderful journey by attending courses, seminars, and practicing Qi Gong, as I believe that the very process of finding and maintaining balance in our lives is, simultaneously, our healing.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Testimonials&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;gcid-c0d903dc-93ac-4ecc-8236-73ef6305c15d&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-c0d903dc-93ac-4ecc-8236-73ef6305c15d%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_icon font_icon=&#8221;&#xf10d;||fa||900&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;gcid-c89f5116-e22d-4a85-9acd-d2301e8087e7&#8243; icon_width=&#8221;64px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-c89f5116-e22d-4a85-9acd-d2301e8087e7%22:%91%22icon_color%22%93}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_slider arrows_custom_color=&#8221;gcid-c89f5116-e22d-4a85-9acd-d2301e8087e7&#8243; dot_nav_custom_color=&#8221;gcid-c89f5116-e22d-4a85-9acd-d2301e8087e7&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Inter Tight|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;gcid-c89f5116-e22d-4a85-9acd-d2301e8087e7&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Inter|700|||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;gcid-94bea17a-6a82-40d2-a3a2-996cd1002d94&#8243; body_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;gcid-cc1e7daa-e7a2-44d1-a6d4-86221a549f5c&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Inter|700||on|||||&#8221; button_custom_padding=&#8221;16px|24px|16px|24px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; text_shadow_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-cc1e7daa-e7a2-44d1-a6d4-86221a549f5c%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93,%22gcid-c89f5116-e22d-4a85-9acd-d2301e8087e7%22:%91%22header_3_text_color%22,%22header_text_color%22,%22arrows_custom_color%22,%22dot_nav_custom_color%22%93,%22gcid-94bea17a-6a82-40d2-a3a2-996cd1002d94%22:%91%22body_text_color%22%93}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_slide heading=&#8221;%22When we create peace, harmony and balance in our minds, we will find them in our lives.%22&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Inter Tight|500|||||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_transition=&#8221;on&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Louise Hay<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_slider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BioI was born in April 1973 in Chania, Greece.
