My name is Popi Manafa. I was born and raised in Trikala, Thessaly, at the Thessaloniki Technical University of Midwifery and specialized in Psychosomatic Preparation of Pregnant Women and Breastfeeding. I worked for 3 years at the Giannitsa General Hospital and for the last 19 years I have been responsible for Pediatrics and Breastfeeding in a private clinic in my city. At the same time, I am also an ERC (European Resuscitation Council) Adult First Aid trainer as an external collaborator. In my free time, I write articles.
