The clinic was established in 1993 by Charis Nachna after his graduation from the Scandinavian College of Manual Medicin in Sweden. Our chiropractic/physical therapy clinic is cooperating at times with clinicians from different specialities. At present the clinic is operating with Charis Nachna and George Koumentos and our Nutritionist Natalia Pagoni.

Natalia Pagoni

Clinical Dietician, Nutritionist

Having competed on a National and European level in cycling (first place Individual timing and a third place at the Women’s speed event at the National races of 2015), Natalia became interested in using food as a way of maximizing sports performance, but also as therapy. This led her to embark on a four-year Diploma in Nutrition & Dietetics at the Department of ATEI in Crete

There she discovered how to look at nutrition from an evidence-based perspective and using this knowledge to help people help themselves.

People often seek a nutritional consultation to:

  1. Enhance digestive and gastro-intestinal health
  2. Balance hormonal fluctuations
  3. Explore weight loss strategies
  4. Support cardiovascular health
  5. Reduce chronic inflammation
  6. Strengthen or modulate immune responses
  7. Improve emotional wellbeing
  8. Maintain energy levels and concentration throughout the working day
  9. Maximize their sports performance

 

The first session:

The first session lasts about an hour, during which a detailed medical history of the individual is initially recorded. Daily eating habits and the biochemical composition of the body is assessed and analyzed.

Body composition analysis (Tanita) is a partial body composition analysis with high accuracy, using non invasive bio-impedance multi-requency technology.

At the end of the session we’ll discuss what you hope to achieve from a nutritional perspective and the time frames by which you goals will be achieved.

An individualized diet plan will be created. This will be sent to you by email within 2 days and a review date will be set (usually within 2 weeks).
