Dr Olivia FIORI was born in Paris and studied medicine at the Saint-Antoine Faculty of Medicine, Pierre and Marie Curie University Paris VI between 1990 and 1996. She graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in 1996 and successfully passed the medical internship exam, deciding to specialize in Gynecology-Obstetrics. Between 1997 and 2004 she trained in the best university hospital departments in Paris under the supervision of internationally recognized professors of gynecology. From 2001 she chose to focus on reproductive medicine, a field that allowed her to combine her interest in endocrinology and gynecology. In parallel to her hospital training, she completed a Master’s degree in reproductive biology and a Master’s degree in developmental physiology at the University of Paris V. In 2004, she became head of clinic at the Paris Hospitals and worked in the reproductive medicine Assistance unit of Pr UZAN, at the TENON Hospital in Paris. In 2008 she left the public hospital and decided, with the precious help of a biologist trained in the department of Pr Frydman, to revitalize the Assisted Reproduction department in a private clinic near Paris. She has been practicing there until now and has performed nearly 4000 IVF giving birth to several hundred beautiful babies. Dr Fiori is convinced of the power of the mind over the body, as she has observed during her 20 years of practice. She trained in Medical Hypnosis at the Paris Medical University and at the Milton Erickson Foundation (Arizona-USA) to help each woman mobilize her inner resources to become a mother. Passionate about Greece since her teenage years and extremely impressed by the high quality of the Institute of Life’s assisted reproduction laboratory, Dr Olivia FIORI has chosen to divide her time between Paris and Athens to bring her expertise in the field of fertility to couples.
