My Story
I never planned to do this work. But becoming a parent changed the direction of my life - quite literally.
When I was pregnant with my eldest daughter, I was living far from my wider family and navigating the UK healthcare system mostly on my own. It was also the beginning of the pandemic, which made everything harder - fewer appointments, no visitors, and a lot of uncertainty.
Joining an antenatal course changed everything. Not just the information (though that mattered a lot!), but the experience of being in a room - even a virtual one - with people going through the same thing. For the first time, I felt like I had both the knowledge and the confidence to make decisions that felt right for my family.
That's what set me on this path. I went on to train at the University of Worcester and qualified as a parent educator. I became an active practitioner with the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) in the UK, supporting hundreds of families through pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood.
But I didn't stop there - because parenthood doesn't stop at birth.
I trained as a breastfeeding counsellor because feeding was one of the things I found hardest and least talked about honestly. I qualified as a postpartum doula because the weeks after birth deserve just as much support as the weeks before. I became a certified Gentle Sleep Educator because sleep is the question every new parent has - and most of the advice out there is either rigid or guilt-inducing. And I trained as a Developmental Massage Instructor because those early physical connections between parent and baby matter more than we give them credit for.
Everything I do comes back to the same belief: parents deserve practical, evidence-based support that meets them where they are - not where someone thinks they should be.
Why I created Parent Path
I created Parent Path because I kept meeting parents - especially expat parents in Greece - who were smart, capable people... who just didn't have access to the support they needed in a language they understood.
They had questions about the Greek healthcare system. About what was normal and what wasn't. About feeding. About sleep. About recovery. And they were piecing together answers from Google, from forums, from well-meaning but sometimes contradictory advice.
Parent Path is the thing I wish had existed when I was in their shoes. It's evidence-based, it's in English (and Greek), it's virtual so it works no matter where in Greece you are, and it's built around the idea that good support should feel calm, practical and personal - not clinical and not overwhelming.
Whether you're pregnant with your first or navigating life with your third, whether you're in Athens or on an island - this is your space.

How I work
How I Work
EVIDENCE-BASED
Everything I share is grounded in current research - but I'll never tell you there's only one right way to do things. Your family, your decisions.
PRACTICAL FIRST
I'm less interested in theory and more interested in "what do I actually do at 3am?" That's the kind of support I offer.
THE WHOLE PICTURE
Pregnancy, birth, feeding, sleep, postpartum recovery, your relationship, your mental health - it's all connected. I don't treat them as separate boxes.
