ABOUT: Constadina Zarokostas-Vasiliades

I’m Constadina Zarokostas‑Vasiliades, and I believe balance comes from honoring both cultural diversity and ancient healing wisdom. On Healthy Balanced World, I blend my experience in communications, Reiki, and herbalism to share grounded wellness practices and cultural insights that help busy people feel more centered and connected.

As a military spouse (Air Force) that married late in life, at 39, I found myself pregnant and having my first child at 41. Not having easy contact with family, and making moves across the country with young children forced me to learn a new way of living. Finding balance when no-one was there to help me, in a city where I knew no-one, reminded me that I needed to use all my knowledge to keep my personal world balanced.

With a degree in International Relations & Communications from the University of Calgary, I spent years in global communications before turning inward to pursue Reiki mastery (Usui Shiki Ryoho) and herbal medicine. Now, I channel that background into writing that bridges cultures and encourages daily balance — because true wellness is holistic, inclusive, and personal.

In addition to my wellness work, I edit non-fiction books and articles in the health and wellness space—helping fellow writers clarify their message and connect with their readers.
