12) Anything else you’d like us to know?

Yes, I discovered Ayurvedic medecine (and other alternative medecines) a few years ago when I was dealing with long term hormonal, anxiety and digestive disorders. After discovering Ayurveda’s simple universal approach to life and health, my life became medicine free and a lot more in line with my true aspirations.

Today, with the help of Mirco my husband, I am devoted to sharing this beautiful Asian wisdom through nutrition and lifestyle consultations, ayurvedic massage therapy and workshops. If you are interested to learn more about Ayurveda, or interested in getting a different point of view on your personal health, we’re always up for a chat and tea at our Ayurveda Centre in Glyfada! I organise 9:00 am walks in Vouliagmeni for the early birds   We do some mindful exercise and chat a lot as well. I also offer Ayurveda cooking classes. All are welcome. Info is here.
