I am a Greek woman, born in Budapest, Hungary, lived in California, USA for 28 years. I received my M.A. at Pacific Oaks College, Pasadena. Moved back to Hungary in 2011. I was a licensed psychotherapist/MFT in the state of CA, now on inactive status. For 10 years I worked in health care as an independent Quality Assurance Consultant. I studied on my own and in workshops many different alternative healing methods for about 25 years. I am a certified Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner. I also studied Permaculture because my dream is to build my own home some day. Recently (June 2017) I completed a two year carpentry workshop. I love life, meeting new people, singing, dancing, cooking and learning languages. I like long walks in nature, history, literature, architecture and interior design, and discovering neighborhoods and foods of the world. I am a spiritual person. I am interested in and have practiced Tarot for many years. I don't smoke or drink. I am into organic foods, reuse and recycle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In September of 1995 I attended the UN Fourth World Conference on Women, in Beijing, China. One day just before visiting the Great Wall I injured my head badly, and it appeared that I will not be able to climb the Wall (that was a dream of mine since age 16). This was the moment to prove to myself the idea of the 'mind rules things'. I hypnotized myself to feel healthy and whole. I was not about to give up my dream. It worked. I climbed high and wandered the further among our group. Returning to the bus I collapsed.
