About This Practice
Functional Medicine Ibiza is a premier health consultancy founded by Mariska Angenent, a Registered Nurse and Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) Certified Practitioner. The practice is designed for individuals who are tired of 'normal' lab results while still feeling unwell. Mariska specializes in 'detective work,' using science-based tools to uncover why the body is out of balance. This is particularly valuable for Ibiza’s international expat community and health-conscious tourists who seek a higher standard of preventative care than what is typically available in standard urgent care settings.
Facility & Team
Mariska Angenent brings over two decades of clinical experience to her practice. Her background in conventional nursing provides a safe, grounded foundation for her functional medicine recommendations. The practice operates primarily as a digital-first clinic, which reflects the modern, mobile lifestyle of Ibiza’s visitors. This means no waiting rooms or sterile environments; instead, patients receive high-level care via secure video platforms or at private locations by arrangement. Mariska is fluent in Dutch and English, and proficient in Spanish, making her highly accessible to the island's diverse population.
What to Expect During Your Visit
The process begins with an extensive health history questionnaire. Unlike a traditional doctor’s visit, the initial consultation often lasts 60 to 90 minutes. Mariska reviews your genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Following this, she may order specialized functional labs (such as GI-Map for gut health or DUTCH for hormones). Once results are in, you receive a bespoke 'Health Roadmap' including dietary adjustments, stress management techniques, and targeted supplement protocols. Follow-up sessions ensure the plan is working and allow for fine-tuning.
Location & Accessibility
Functional Medicine Ibiza is a 'clinic without walls,' focusing on the Ibiza and Formentera region. While Mariska is based on the island, the service is designed for maximum convenience. There is no physical storefront to visit for walk-ins; all sessions are by appointment. This model is ideal for tourists staying in villas or hotels who prefer the privacy of a remote consultation or for those who do not have a car to navigate Ibiza's often-congested roads.
Why Tourists Choose Them
Tourists often find that a holiday in Ibiza is the first time they have slowed down enough to address chronic health niggles. Mariska provides a way to turn a vacation into a wellness reboot. Because she understands the international healthcare landscape, she can provide medical reports and test results that patients can easily share with their doctors back home. Her expertise in 'biohacking' also appeals to the high-end wellness tourism market prevalent in Ibiza.
Safety & Standards
As a licensed nurse and IFM-certified professional, Mariska adheres to high clinical standards. She does not replace a primary care physician but works alongside them. Her recommendations are evidence-based, focusing on peer-reviewed nutritional science. For tourists, this provides a layer of safety and professional accountability that is sometimes lacking in the unregulated 'wellness' sector.
Booking & Practical Info
Appointments must be booked in advance via her website or WhatsApp. As a private practitioner, she does not accept the EHIC or Spanish Social Security. Payment is generally required via bank transfer or credit card. While she does not offer 24/7 emergency services, she is highly responsive for scheduled care and ongoing health management.
