Our Team

Vicky Galara

Nutrition Specialist

As a dedicated Nutrition Specialist with many years of experience in women’s health, I am passionate about empowering women through the challenging stages of menopause by leveraging the power of nutrition. My expertise lies in crafting personalized dietary plans that alleviate common symptoms such as hot flashes, weight fluctuations, and bone density loss.

I hold a Degree from the Higher Technological Educational Institution of Thessaly with specialization in Health Coaching by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. I had my own TV show on nutrition and healthy cooking and I am also a blogger for national sites.

At the heart of my approach is a deep commitment to fostering education and connection, whether through leading workshops at wellness retreats or providing empathetic one-on-one consultations. By integrating evidence-based practices with a holistic understanding of hormonal health, I aim to enhance not only physical well-being but also emotional resilience, ensuring every woman feels supported on her journey to vitality.

Frini Katsouna

Private Chef

Born and raised in Chania, Crete. My love for cooking has been influenced by my origins from Cyprus and Asia Minor. I was originally taught to cook by my grandmother and family at a very young age and since then I realized that the kitchen is the place where I can totally express myself freely. Growing up, I saw the magnitude of the Cretan Diet and how strongly it is connected to our culture and hospitality.

In 2009 I had my first cooking workshop and in 2017 I started offering private cooking services in villas and special events. I enjoy cooking for people and I believe that food is the best way to connect to a place’s culture. My dream is to promote the Cretan Cuisine and to spread it all over the world!

Aris Stratakis

Tai Chi Master

I started my education back in 1991 at the School of the Inner way of Taiji Chuan “L’art du chi”, together with Edwige Varfe in Chania city as well as with other distinguished teachers from the School – while continuing my studies intensively since 1998 in France with Vlady Stevanovitch, Founder of the school. I have enriched my practice through the study of Shotocan Karate and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I hold a degree from the European school of Shiatsu.
I maintain the unique school of Stevanovitch method in Greece and particularly in Chania Crete and daily offers lessons of Qi gong, Taiji Chuan forms, Brocades exercises, ma-ko-ho etc. I also work with with schools and groups interested in training on energy management and balancing of breathing and movement.
My vision is the dissemination of the art of the school I represent – to make its benefits known and accessible for all.
