The Nutriventionists™ was created by two friends, Marianna Antonakaki and Irene Kollintza, whose professional worlds met around one shared belief: nourishment is never only about food. Marianna brought psychology, psychotherapy, research, play-based methodologies and Design Thinking; Irene brought hospitality, tourism, operations and the art of receiving people with care.
“ A holding space like a nest.”
To reimagine nourishment as a deeply humancentric practice where the table becomes a holding space of care, connection, reflection and growth. A contemporary expression of Greek Xenia, where hospitality meets psychology, creativity and the science of human development.
We explore the connection between rituals, behaviours, thoughts and feelings and how they relate to cooking, mindfulness, eating, using alive metaphors, creativity, science based playfulness and applied culinary psychology protocols.

Gatherings where cooking becomes meaningful conversations, open sessions, retreats and tailor-made experiences for teams.
New dates coming soon.
