Since I was very young, I was always fascinated by Ancient Temples... They looked this mysterious being, with so much to say, that I couldn't yet understand. I loved geometry, woven patterns, tesselation, geodesy, and the power of location and building space. Born in Greece, there is such an abundance of Monuments that mesmerized me...
I always felt very influenced by an environment, and soon realized that I had a deep sensivitivy which led to either being empower or weakened by a space.
I had big questions around this matter, and no matter what books I read, I didn't feel satisfied. I felt deep inside that there is more to it, there is a complex science that describes it, along with the power of symbols, geometry, and location that is directly linked with Temples.
My love for both Art and Science (mainly mathematics and geometry) led me to study Architecture, as I found that for me that was the only place that I could explore both. That was the begining of a theme that has been concurrent in my life, and has to do with a deep desire to nourish both my feminine and my masculine, both structure and fluidity, left and right brain hemispheres.
I felt very undernourished in Architecture School, as the way I looked at architecture had nothing to do with what I was taught... I felt very lonely, and not understood.
I also developped a passion for ecology and sustainability, which led me to AA School of Architecture in London, UK, for an MSc in Sustainable Environmental Design. It was a tough experience, that nevertheless gave me so many new important tools. I later worked as a Sustainability Consultant in big company in London, which gave me the freedom to apply in real time my passion.
Coming back to Greece, after a series of challenging events, I found myself moving into a new-built appartment. To keep the story short, some few months later I begun getting very sick physically. Through more research , I soon realized that various factors such as materials off-gassing, earth radiation, electromagnetic fields, space layout, geometry and color were severely affecting my immune system and my emotional health.
I dedicated my self to new education, training, and seminars around the world to link exactly that: how our building environment can affect our health and well-being. That led to the creation of Healing Architecture.
At the same time, I had a burning question inside of me, which was related to the effects of location on health and its relation to Ancient Temples, that had not been answered by anyone yet in a satisfying way for me. Meeting Dr. Stavros Papamarinopoulos, a Professor of Geophysics with the same interests, was the begining of my deep research PhD on the effects of geophysical anomalies on biology. The book "The Power of Sacred Location" was written based on this research, and finally I had some important answers for my burning questions...
The power of Sacred Geometry brought me together with my soul partner Arturo, from the two sides of the world, Greece and Mexico, and putting out superpowers together, we created Geophilia, a project for the love of the Earth.
I love to create healing and sacred spaces, sharing my experiences with people in seminars and events, as well researching further Ancient Temples...
