About
I am Daphne Dalapa, a dietitian-nutritionist based in Thessaloniki, with 26 years of experience supporting individuals who want to care for their nutrition, health, and relationship with food.
I graduated from the Department of Nutrition at the Technological Educational Institute (ATEI) of Thessaloniki and specialized in eating disorders and obesity in children and adults, earning my Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders & Obesity in 2010 from the Center for Education and Treatment of Eating Disorders. In 2024, I also completed the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA) educational program on the "Principles of Nutritional Support for Hospitalized Adult Patients."
Over my years of practice, it became increasingly clear that nutrition is much more than just a meal plan. It is deeply connected to the body, emotions, habits, family, self-image, and the way each person relates to themselves. This deeper perspective led me to Systemic Constellations. I completed my training and now also practice as a Systemic Constellation Facilitator. Through this journey, I created Systemic Nutrition, a personal method that combines nutritional science with a systemic approach.
Systemic Nutrition offers a new way of approaching one's relationship with food and body. It is addressed to people who feel they are repeating the same patterns around food, weight, binge eating, or emotional snacking, as well as those who wish to understand the connection between food, pleasure, guilt, and self-care. It can function complementarily to nutritional counseling or independently.
The foundation of my work integrates these two fields. In my private practice, I provide:
Weight & Daily Routine Management: Weight regulation, better organization of daily nutrition, and guidance for individuals undergoing newer pharmaceutical treatments for weight management.
Clinical Nutrition: Dietary care for health issues such as digestive disorders, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, or metabolic challenges, etc.
Eating Disorders: Specialized support for cases of bulimia, anorexia, binge eating disorder, and emotional eating, aiming for a stable and friendly relationship with food and the body.
Alongside my nutritional practiceI, Ι apply the Systemic Constellations method to nutrition-related issues and beyond, facilitating workshops, closed experiential groups, and conducting individual sessions.
In addition to providing individual support in my office, I collaborate with the Elementary School of the American Farm School in designing and implementing experiential nutritional education programs, as well as with the KALYPSO Rehabilitation Center in Plagiari, providing nutritional support to patients.
My goal is for nutrition to become an applicable tool that supports health, bringing balance, peace, and a meaningful relationship with food and the body.
