One of the ideas that influences my way of being
is the "circle of service".
​
We all rely on each other to thrive.
​
Within the circle, everyone is of equal value,
and no power is held over.
We are both the giver and the receiver,
the teacher and the student.
For as long as I can remember, I've been a nurturer.
I have always felt a desire to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, words of encouragement, or a big hug.
​
It is common for people to open their hearts
to me, and share their thoughts and experiences
with little hesitation- friends and strangers alike.
​
I truly want people to be well and to know that they are loved.
My career actually started at age 11 as a babysitter.
​
I advanced to leader-in-training at summer camp by 13
and was coaching kids' soccer as a high school student.
​
Since childhood, I knew I was meant to work with young people,
and I feel so lucky to have experienced such joy and fulfillment doing so for the last 20 years.
I come from a big Greek family and am the eldest
in my generation.
​
This lifelong experience taught me how to care for others,
the impact of leading with love, and the importance of
taking my own needs into consideration.
​
Being raised by "a village" (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles)
gave me the opportunity to consider different perspectives,
and most valuably, to relate to adults who were not my parents.
In 2015, after almost a year, my friend Renée finally convinced me to try a hot yoga class with her. I'm so grateful that she was persistent and patient, because I was hooked after the first class!
Yoga has been an incredibly transformative practice in my life.
Awareness is always the first step to change.
On my mat, I saw how I was comparing myself to others, criticizing myself harshly, and talking myself out of life.
Through regular visits to my mat, breathing and moving, I've been able to loosen my grip on those belief systems and experience life with an open heart.
My heart feels at home by the water.
​
I find a deep sense of peace when I am experiencing myself
near the grandness of an ocean.
Over the last few years, I've learned to surf, and have
truly enjoyed the challenge of a new sport while
submerged in my favourite element.
