About me

For twenty-four years, I worked at an assisted reproduction clinic in Thessaloniki, where I was responsible for international patients. Every year, more than a hundred people from across Europe would pass through my office — sometimes via a phone call at midnight, sometimes over a coffee together between appointments.

My job was to keep all the non-medical aspects organised – aspects which, nevertheless, have a major influence on how a treatment journey unfolds: missing documents, a test whose validity has just expired, the solicitor who only sees clients on Tuesdays, a flight that needs rescheduling because the treatment protocol has been moved forward by three days, the doctor’s words that need to be translated accurately because they change everything.

I’ve seen what reassures people and what wears them down. I’ve seen couples arrive terrified and leave feeling reassured, and I’ve seen processes derailed by a simple administrative error that nobody spotted in time. That’s where my approach to work comes from: anticipating issues, double-checking, putting things in writing, and staying available.

Why I now work as a freelancer

In a clinic, you’re always, ultimately, on the clinic’s side. That’s normal and it’s not dishonest, but it limits what you can say. By working for you and being paid by you, I can compare several clinics, point out anything in a quote that strikes me as problematic, or tell you that your situation might be better handled elsewhere — including in France.

This is also why I do not receive any commission from clinics. Not only because the Greek code of medical ethics prohibits it, but because advice that someone else pays for is not really advice.

In practical terms

I’m based in Thessaloniki and work mainly with clinics in the city clinic, where I can be present at each of your appointments. I speak English, French and Greek. I reply within one working day, and at any reasonable hour whilst you’re here. I’ll accompany you to the clinic, the solicitor’s office and the chemist’s. After each appointment, I write a report in English, because nobody can remember everything that’s said during a consultation – especially in a foreign language and, above all, on the day itself.
