Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in Athens (Greece). I studied Pharmacy science and worked for many years in a pharmacy. There, searching for permanent solutions to diverse health problems and the well-being of my customers, I began to specialize in a series of alternative methods of diagnosis and therapy.
Today Ι work as an Holistic Life Coach and a presenter of webinars on Holistic Therapy to health professionals.
I liked writing since my childhood. I start writing poetry (I have published a poetry book at the age of 23 self-published) and fiction novels, but I never published anything of fiction.
My first non-fiction book is about health and wellness secrets of all three parts of ourselves (Ευεξία: Το βαρόμετρο της υγείας-Wellness: The health’s barometer”). After that, I wrote a book about the secrets of preventing and curing cancer, based on my personal experience and knowledge of alternative healing methods (Καρκίνος: Όσα δε σας λένε μυστικά-“Cancer: The hidden secrets”).
My last book is a self-helping guide for helping people to get unstuck when they need to (Ξεκόλλα – “GETTING UNSTUCK”).
All three books have been published in Greek by Lefko Melani publications.
Only my last book: “GETTING UNSTUCK: 11 Tools to stop being bogged down and change your life” has been translated into English and published on Amazon.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My last book: “GETTING UNSTUCK: 11 Tools to stop being bogged down and change your life”, is a short self-helping guide of 11 tools for everybody to help his/herself to get unstuck when he/she needs to.
My inspiration was my experience and observation of some things and actions that helped me to move forward in a very bogged down phase in my personal life.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My best ideas came up during householding, usually on ironing, but I use to write mostly outdoors, walking, and stopping wherever. I like writing on napkins.
