Growing up in beautiful Greece, I cherished the Mediterranean lifestyle: exercise, eating fresh local food, limited screen time, and our big family dinners! My favourite food from home is Pastitsio (Greek lasagna with bechamel sauce).

I achieved a black belt in Taekwondo and changed my sport to basketball, making it to the rep level. Basketball was my first team sport, and I quickly got a huge rush when my teammates made a great play. People tell me I’m naturally empathetic. Honestly, I just love helping others.

I left all that to get my science degree in Toronto. I didn’t know anyone and my English wasn’t great. To say this was a difficult time is a huge understatement. But it makes it so much sweeter that I have my degrees and Dietitian credentials now.

Moving here, I ate more processed food. I could tell right away it was hurting me. That really bothered me. This experience showed me even more about that power of food, and is one of the reasons I became a Dietitian. It is possible to make food a priority. I can help you enjoy healthy food so that you can eat better, perform better, feel better, and reduce inflammation in your body!
