Ioanna Ntenti is a London-based registered Nutritional Therapist Practitioner with a passion for the use of whole and organic foods as medicine for common health complaints. She holds a diploma from the London College of Naturopathic Medicine, specializing in naturopathic and nutritional therapeutics. She graduated after completing over 200 hours of practical clinics. Ioanna is a member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine ( BANT ).
In June 2018 she partnered with Epilium & Skin, the French Medical Beauty clinic in London to open her practice in 25-27 George St, Marylebone, London where she treats patients with various health issues including skin conditions (acne, redness, eczema, psoriasis), weight management and underlying gut conditions.
In June 2020 she partnered with Tinto a women's health technology platform providing personalised support and guidance to women during their motherhood journey, via accessible expert and peer support and AI-driven coaching. Ioanna supports women with antenatal and postpartum nutrition as well as weight management.
Focusing on providing a holistic mind-and-body approach, Ioanna designs each program according to the ’Ntenti Method’ and specifically adapts it to the needs of each of her clients.
The ’Ntenti Method’ has a track record of proven results and encourages adopting life-changing nutritional habits with a long-term positive impact on health and general well-being.
Being raised in Greece and in a household that valued fresh Mediterranean produce, she developed a passion for healthy nutritious food from an early age on. Following her graduation from the Department of Nursing of the Institute of Vocational Training of Athens in 2009, she worked at the Metropolitan Hospital in Athens in the clinical pathology department. As part of the surgical response team, she specialized in general patient recovery processes and specifically focused on post-trauma care of bones and skin tissue.
Following being awarded runner-up in Greece’s Next Top Model TV show, Ioanna was signed to international modelling agencies and worked on campaigns for Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and represented iconic brands such as L’Oreal, Chanel and Agent Provocateur. Her modelling work taught her the vital impact of nutrition not just on weight and skin but also on mental health.
‘Throughout my career, from being a nurse specialising in post-trauma care, to my modelling work, to researching foods as medicine during my naturopathic studies, I have developed a therapeutic approach to nutrition that combines learnings from all three disciplines. From the importance of the mind-body connection to heal the underlying health condition to the importance of feeling and looking your best and finally to make long-lasting changes in nutritional habits, I have always been passionate about helping people make a positive change in their lives’
