Testimonials
We are incredibly grateful to Katerina for the exceptional care and dedication she showed our daughter over the five months she worked with her in Greece. From the very beginning, Katerina was kind, patient, and encouraging, creating a positive environment that helped our daughter grow in confidence. Her expertise and commitment played a vital role in our daughter’s walking and overall physical development. The progress she made during this time was remarkable, and we truly believe it would not have been possible without Katerina’s knowledge, perseverance, and genuine care. Katerina always celebrated every milestone, no matter how small, and motivated both our daughter and our family throughout the journey. Her professionalism, compassion, and passion for helping children reach their potential were evident in every session. We cannot thank Katerina enough for the difference she has made in our daughter’s life. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for an outstanding paediatric physiotherapist.
For the past ten years, I have had the pleasure of working alongside Katerina as she examines Paralympic skiing athletes from all over the world. Her caring spirit provides an atmosphere of gentle kindness. Katerina loves her work, and she is compassionate about all those in her care.
Katerina has been our son’s physiotherapist since he was 7 months old, in time however she became much more than that. She became a good friend. Andeas-Rares loves her and that is very important to us. She knows how to get him out of his comfort zone but still be happy to work/play and most importantly she knows just how much to push him for their time together to be productive but still fun. She’s professional, organized and strives for perfection; always setting realistic but challenging goals, always reading a new book or following a new seminar. She’s open minded and positive in her approaches towards our son while still grounded and realistic in her therapeutic approach.
The best thing I like about Katerina is that she keeps her curiosity and her hunger for knowledge alive and in so doing helped us see beyond what it is, towards what could be.
Thank you for everything Katerina! We hope to see you soon!
I am thankful that we met and have been able to work together. You are a very caring and compassionate person, with a passion and dedication to work, and a joy for life. Your expertise and professionalism are greatly appreciated, as is your kindness and friendship.
