Είμαι Διαιτολόγος – Διατροφολόγος, γεννήθηκα και μεγάλωσα στη Θεσσαλονίκη, όπου και δραστηριοποιούμαι επαγγελματικά τα τελευταία χρόνια.

Η προσέγγισή μου στη διατροφή δεν περιορίζεται σε πλάνα και θερμίδες, αλλά στη συνολική κατανόηση του ανθρώπου πίσω από κάθε στόχο. Για εμένα, η διατροφή αποτελεί εργαλείο βελτίωσης της υγείας, της ενέργειας και της καθημερινότητας — όχι μια διαδικασία περιορισμών.

Αποφοίτησα από το Αμερικάνικο Κολλέγιο Θεσσαλονίκης «ANATOLIA” με αριστείο και στη συνέχεια απέκτησα τον πρώτο μου Πανεπιστημιακό Τίτλο Σπουδών από το Τμήμα Διατροφής και Διαιτολογίας του Διεθνούς Πανεπιστημίου Ελλάδος με βραβείο αριστείας από το Ίδρυμα Κρατικών Υποτροφιών. Είμαι κάτοχος Μεταπτυχιακού Τίτλου Σπουδών από την Ιατρική Σχολή του Δημοκρίτειου Πανεπιστημίου Θράκης, με αντικείμενο τα Τρόφιμα, τη Διατροφή και το Μικροβίωμα, επίσης με αριστείο.

Παράλληλα, έχω ολοκληρώσει το εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα “Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders and Obesity” του Κέντρου Εκπαίδευσης και Διαχείρισης Διατροφικών Διαταραχών (ΚΕΑΔΔ), καθώς και το πρόγραμμα επιμόρφωσης «Κλινική Διατροφή» του ΕΚΠΑ, ενισχύοντας την επιστημονική μου κατάρτιση στον τομέα της κλινικής διατροφής και των διατροφικών διαταραχών.

Η συνεχής επιστημονική εξέλιξη αποτελεί βασικό μέρος της δουλειάς μου και καθοδηγεί τον τρόπο με τον οποίο προσεγγίζω κάθε συνεργασία.

H προσέγγιση μου και η φιλοσοφία μου

Με πάθος για την επιστήμη της διατροφής και την ολιστική ευεξία, συνδυάζω την ακαδημαϊκή γνώση με μια ενσυνείδητη και εξατομικευμένη προσέγγιση, με στόχο μια πιο ουσιαστική σχέση με τη διατροφή.

Πιστεύω ότι η διατροφή δεν πρέπει να συνοδεύεται από περιορισμούς ή ενοχές, αλλά να υποστηρίζει την υγεία, την καθημερινή λειτουργικότητα και την ποιότητα ζωής, μέσα από εξατομικευμένη καθοδήγηση που προσαρμόζεται στους στόχους και στην καθημερινότητα του κάθε ανθρώπου, με έμφαση σε ρεαλιστικές και βιώσιμες αλλαγές.

Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, η ενσυνείδητη διατροφή και η ολιστική ευεξία αποτελούν τον βασικό άξονα της δουλειάς μου, με στόχο τον επαναπροσδιορισμό της σχέσης με το φαγητό και τη διαμόρφωση ενός πιο ισορροπημένου τρόπου ζωής.

Η επαγγελματική μου εμπειρία

Η επαγγελματική μου πορεία περιλαμβάνει εμπειρία τόσο σε κλινικά περιστατικά όσο και σε καθημερινή διατροφική καθοδήγηση, μέσα από συνεργασίες σε διαιτολογικό και αθλητικό περιβάλλον, καθώς και μέσω online συνεδριών.

Έχω έρθει σε επαφή με ένα ευρύ φάσμα περιστατικών, όπως μεταβολικές και ορμονικές διαταραχές, γαστρεντερικά προβλήματα, διατροφικές διαταραχές, καθώς και καταστάσεις που σχετίζονται με τη βελτίωση της σύστασης σώματος, την εγκυμοσύνη και τη συνολική υγεία.
