when your body, mind, and culture feel like they’re speaking different languages?

I’m a Greek diaspora woman living with late-diagnosed ADHD and fluctuating chronic illness. I’ve navigated healthcare systems across continents, built a life between languages and cultures, and spent years learning how to function in a world that wasn’t designed for people like me.

The Terrain I Navigate

Life Transition Coaching for Multicultural, Neurodivergent & Chronically Ill Adults

I work with:

Third Culture Kids (TCKs)
Diaspora communities
Late-diagnosed ADHD/autistic Adults
People navigating chronic and invisible illnesses

And anyone navigating across cultures and contexts

Working with me is a dedicated partnership. I help you build your own internal compass so you can navigate any environment, conversation, or challenge with greater steadiness and self-trust.

for organisations: educational & programme consulting

I collaborate with charities, community organisations, and education providers working with individuals navigating cultural transition, health disruption, neurodivergence, and marginalisation.
