About Me
About me
I am a performance and sport psychology practitioner and Functional Breathing Instructor based in Athens, Greece, working with athletes, performers, and individuals who operate under pressure. My background combines sport psychology, functional breathing, and mindfulness, with a strong focus on nervous system regulation and applied performance skills.
I hold a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Sport Psychology from La Escuela Universitaria Real Madrid – Universidad Europea. I have worked for over 20 years in education and psychological support, and for the past decade I have focused specifically on supporting athletes and high-performing individuals, primarily in tennis.
Through my work with junior and adult athletes, I repeatedly observed that performance breakdowns rarely come from lack of motivation or effort. More often, they are the result of poor physiological regulation under stress — changes in breathing, attention, and emotional reactivity that interfere with execution.
This understanding led me to integrate functional breathing into my practice. I am a certified Oxygen Advantage Functional Breathing Instructor, and I use OA principles to improve breathing efficiency, stress tolerance, recovery, and focus. I apply these methods progressively and safely, always adapted to the individual’s needs, age, sport, and nervous system profile, particularly when working with juniors and adolescents. I am also a certified Mindfulness Instructor with the International Mindfulness and Meditation Alliance.
I teach both face-to-face in Athens and online, working with competitive athletes, young athletes building strong foundations, and non-athletes who seek better stress regulation, sleep quality, and clarity in daily life. I also collaborate with coaches and parents, supporting long-term development rather than short-term performance fixes.
My approach is quiet and methodical. Breathing is not treated as a standalone technique, but as part of a broader system of self-regulation, awareness, and performance readiness.
