Hello I’m Christiana,

I am a Certified Face Yoga Teacher and a Holistic Health Coach with a passion for empowering women to become leaders of their own lives, all while helping them feel and look their very best. 

What sets me apart is my deep compassion for others. I wholeheartedly believe that there’s no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ approach, simply because every woman is wonderfully unique. That’s why I create a nurturing space for my clients, allowing them to grow and transform at their own pace and in their own special ways.

My Story

I was born and raised on the sunny Mediterranean island of Cyprus. I became a Chartered Accountant and lived there my whole life up to the age of 32, when I decided I needed a BIG change and moved to the UK for an MSc in Business Analytics (here’s a photo of me, entering my dorm on the very first day at university), and work. Little did I know that instead of climbing the corporate ladder, I’d be teaching Face Yoga and holistic wellness! I do not regret initially going down the accountancy path, as it has equipped me with so many transferrable and invaluable skills. The best one – and most obvious? I can manage the finances of my business all by myself!

I live in Ladbroke Grove, just a two-minute walk from one of my favourite places in the world: the iconic Portobello Road. I got obsessed with the area as a tourist, a few years before my partner and I decided to move here.

It’s a cute story, actually: I made him watch the Notting Hill movie with me on a Valentine’s Day, then - of course - I wanted to visit the famous bookshop where Hugh and Julia fell in love, we travelled to London for a vacation a few months later where I got absolutely fascinated by Notting Hill and, while staring at the Victorian-style houses with an open mouth in a half-hypnotic state, I said to myself that one day I’d like to live here. I manifested that, and here I am today!

Life’s full of surprises, isn’t it?!

So yeah, if you don’t find me strolling in Portobello, then I’ll probably be either at the bookshop, or in my favourite cosy coffee shop in the area.

Fun Facts about Christiana

  • Cats are the love of my life! Small, big, cute, scary, shorthair, fluffy - I like them all! Before moving to the UK in 2018, I spent seven years rescuing cats in Cyprus. While I have no regrets, it took a toll on my well-being. The stress, exhaustion, and lack of career fulfillment prompted me to quit my secure job. I sold my car, rented out my flat, and embarked on a thrilling, albeit daunting, adventure.

  • I’m completely obsessed with sustainability (I’ve had numerous battles with cardboard boxes that just won’t fit into the recycling). Once, I took a food waste bag with me to a friend’s birthday party to collect any leftovers and bring them back home with me to recycle, because she told me that there’s no food waste collection available in her borough. That didn’t go very well… !

  • I first applied a skincare product on my face when I was only 10 years old – an anti-ageing cream I got from the supermarket with my pocket money!

  • I have a passion for essential oils and I use them for pretty much anything

  • I’m a non-fiction book and personal development course junkie, I just can’t get myself to stop (any advice is more than welcome!). My favourite book of all times is ‘Essentialism’ by Greg McKeown – absolutely life-changing!

  • I don’t enjoy cooking (if only a nourishing and balanced meal could be made in less than two minutes…!)

  • Cool fun fact: Once I stayed in a house/shelter with 90 cats in the Netherlands for a whole week!

  • I’ve never had a cigarette in my life

  • My favourite kind of music is jazz, and my favourite song is ‘Stardust’ by Hoagy Carmichael. I ask Alexa to play it for me at least twice a day!

  • I love love love going to the cinema and YES to Christmas movies all year round!
