About Mariella

Mariella Drakaki

Sports Nutritionist–Dietitian, MSc, RD
Founder & Lead Nutritionist, Drakaki Nutrition

“My goal is to give you more than a plan. I want to give you the skills and confidence to make nutrition work for you.”

Education

I hold a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics from the International Hellenic University in Thessaloniki, Greece. Motivated by my background in competitive powerlifting and my interest in optimizing athletic performance through nutrition, I pursued an MSc in Human Movement Sciences, specializing in Sports Nutrition, at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. As part of my Master’s, I completed an internship within the M3 Research Group, where I gained research experience in protein metabolism and tracer methodologies.

Further Training

I furthered my education by completing the Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders & Obesity program at the Centre for the Education and Treatment of Eating Disorders (KEADD). I pursued this training because I believe our relationship with food can be complex, and nutritional support should be about more than just what goes onto our plates. I wanted to acquire the skills to provide compassionate, meaningful nutritional care and support people in developing a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.

My approach

Nutritional education is key to my approach.

My goal is to give you more than a plan. I want to give you the knowledge to make informed decisions about your nutrition. By combining current scientific evidence with a 100% personalized approach, my goal is not simply to tell you what to eat. I want to teach you how to understand and implement practical nutrition strategies that support your goals, in a way that is realistic, sustainable and relevant to your everyday life.

I want you to leave our work together with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed nutritional choices for yourself.
