Authentic Movement Soul Freedom

A holding space for your heart-mind-body-soul. Embody your Inner Love, Beauty, Joy and Wisdom.

I am a highly sensitive and passionate woman, a mover, a witness, a creator, a thinker, a wounded healer and a truth teller. My whole life has been a ceaseless journey, without and within, from Greece to Argentina, then Peru and now California, but it hasn't always been easy as I never wanted to just fit into any box. During adolescence and early adulthood, I struggled with bulimia, depression, bo

dy-hatred, insecurities and low self-esteem. It was in my own practice of Authentic Movement that I uncovered my worth and voice and I discovered the beauty of depth that exists in the action of being fully present; the inner-body wisdom that we all have to heal, create and evolve. Now, I am honored to sharing with you, who also wish for a meaningful connection with yourself and your body, the gifts of awareness and self-realization that this discipline brings, as a healing-through-movement practice. I am a licensed psychologist from Greece (2004), and an interdisciplinary performing artist. I hold an MA in Expressive Arts Therapy from CIIS (2017) and I was specialized in Authentic Movement at the Center for Practice and Training in Authentic movement with Karin Fleischer in Buenos Aires (2008-2014). I love chocolate, dancing, the sunsets and swimming in the rejuvenating Mediterranean

Love isn’t found in fleeting fireworks but in the steady, flowing rhythm of trust, presence, and authenticity. This month’s Love Letter explores the journey from chasing intensity to embracing love that nourishes, softens, and endures. May we all learn to receive love as it was always meant to be—effortless, deep, and ever-present. 💙✨ Read it here: 🌟 - https://mailchi.mp/authenticmovementsf.com/beyond-fireworks-when-love-flows-like-water

Held by the branches, embraced by the light. 🌳✨
Just as the tree’s roots run deep, Authentic Movement guides us into our own depths, where we are grounded and open to receive.

How often do you allow yourself to pause and feel fully supported?

As the sun sets and the sea welcomes me, I am reminded of the journey we all take inward—the dive into our inner waters. 🌊✨

Authentic Movement offers us a chance to explore the depths of our unconscious, to move freely and connect with the parts of ourselves that we often leave unexplored. It’s a gentle invitation to flow, to trust the body’s wisdom, and to return to a deeper sense of self.

Join us this Sunday, October 20, as we dive within and move with the tides of our inner world. 🌿

Whether you’re new or experienced, all are welcome. (Link in bio)

Blending with the sea and sky, feeling at peace and at home. 🌊💙✨
Peace starts within, in our own skin, and reflects outward—just like the calm of the sea reflecting the sky.
Where do you feel most connected to nature? How do you nurture peace within yourself?

☀️What is your happy place?

For me, it’s anywhere by the water, on the water, or in the water… and also within my own waters. 💧🌊

Whether I’m sitting by the shore, paddling with the sunset, or diving into the depths of the sea, I find myself at home. The water is where everything flows, and I feel completely in tune with myself.

When I practice Authentic Movement, it feels like swimming in my inner waters, diving into my unconscious, and exploring the depths of my soul. It’s a place where I can truly flow, reconnect, and return home. 🌀💙

Perhaps that’s why, after almost 20 years of living abroad, I feel an intense need to return to Greece and live by the Mediterranean again—to be back home “en mi tierra y mis aguas.” 🌊🏡

Where do you feel most at home?

✨Trusting the Impulse ✨

I had just finished work and I only had about 10 minutes to catch the sunset. I felt a strong impulse, one that lit me up and relaxed me all at once. Without overthinking, I jumped into my car, parked at a spot I don’t usually go, and found myself sitting by the beach, basking in the golden light.

Then, something unexpected happened—an invitation to paddleboard! I didn’t have my swimsuit (I wasn’t planning to swim), but I said yes, dress and all. What followed was a beautiful, spontaneous moment—an experience born from trusting the impulse and embracing the surprise.

This is how Authentic Movement feels to me. When we trust our impulses, without judgment, we allow ourselves to move in harmony with life, letting the beauty of the moment unfold. 🌊✨

If this resonates with you, I invite you to join me in an upcoming Authentic Movement group in San Francisco on Sunday, October 20, open to both beginners and those with experience. Let’s explore the magic that comes from following our impulses together. (Link in Bio) 💫

Throwback to our beautiful Feminine Wholeness Retreat last summer in Paros, Greece! 🌸✨ One of the most powerful moments was when we came together to create collages—each piece reflecting aspects of ourselves: those we appreciate, those we struggle with, and those we wish to explore more deeply. The magic wasn’t about creating ‘art’ but about expressing our inner world with honesty and curiosity.

At the end of the retreat, we displayed all our creations in a heartfelt ‘art gallery’ that celebrated each woman’s journey of self-discovery through the lens of the Greek Goddess archetypes and the practice of Authentic Movement. Both played an essential role in guiding us to explore our bodies, emotions, and identities with compassion. These women aren’t professionals artists, and that’s the point! Creativity is an essential tool for change, allowing us to release self-criticism and perfectionism and embrace our true selves. 💫

Swipe to see moments from this powerful process!

Today’s hike in Muir Woods, with the beautiful company of my dear friend Desiree , reminded me of the essence of Authentic Movement. Just like the trees, nature invites us to ground, to center, and to return to the present moment. Every step, every breath in the forest is a return to my soul—relaxing, releasing stress, and appreciating the now. Nature, like Authentic Movement, teaches us to simply be. 🌲✨

Join me this Sunday, September 22, for the next cycle of Authentic Movement as we explore grounding, presence, and soul connection. DM for details!
