I am a specialized massage therapist, lymphatic drainage consultant, recovery advisor, and the founder of INTUNE, based in Nicosia, Cyprus.

My path to bodywork wasn't traditional. For years, my career was rooted in the fast-paced corporate world, where I naturally gravitated toward user experience (UX) design due to my innate ability to empathize. While navigating the high-pressure demands, long hours, and physical stagnation of desk-bound executive life, I became intimately aware of how modern work culture degrades the human body. I experienced the chronic neck tension, posture-related imbalances, and relentless stress firsthand—ultimately struggling with musculoskeletal issues and a severe eye injury brought on by prolonged screen time and chronic sleep deprivation.

My first step toward true body awareness began when I stepped into a gym. That evolved into taking my first runs outside, completing a corporate 5k race, and eventually joining the Nireas Triathlon Club. As I pushed my physical limits, I became deeply aware of biomechanics, kinetic chains, and injury patterns, navigating my own frustrating series of athletic setbacks along the way.

Driven by a necessity to find real, lasting solutions, I began rigorously studying human anatomy, biomechanics, and the physiological science of recovery. What started as a personal quest quickly evolved into an undeniable passion. I realized that true physical recovery required an entirely different level of precision than what the traditional spa industry was offering, and that athletes desperately needed education to navigate their recovery safely.

Stepping away from the corporate track, I committed myself entirely to mastering clinical-grade physical interventions. I traded digital corporate strategy for structural bodywork, approaching manual therapy with the exact same analytical, results-driven mindset I used in business.

Today, my mission is to provide high-performance professionals and endurance athletes with intelligent, objective care. My treatments completely strip away the fluff of generic massage, focusing entirely on the underlying structures of the body to create measurable functional change, relieve chronic tension, and restore natural mobility.
