Dietistenpraktijk Vitalise

What Dietistenpraktijk Vitalise does

Dietistenpraktijk Vitalise is a privately held, multi-location Dutch dietitian practice founded in 2019 by Elise Slootman and headquartered in Hengelo, Netherlands. The firm delivers evidence-based dietary counseling to individual patients across the life course — children, adults, and elderly — covering weight management, chronic disease nutrition (diabetes, COPD, cardiovascular risk, gastrointestinal disorders), sports nutrition, fertility, PCOS, pregnancy, and food intolerances. Services are delivered through eight physical locations in eastern Netherlands (Almelo, Apeldoorn, Borne, Doetinchem, Enschede, Haaksbergen, Hengelo, Losser), online video consultations, the GLI 'Slimmer' two-year combined lifestyle intervention delivered with physiotherapy partners, and on-site corporate wellness engagements. Patient intake and follow-up consultations use InBody medical-grade body composition measurement equipment as the underlying technical differentiator, with intake sessions priced at €179 (75-90 minutes) and follow-ups at €45 (30 minutes), subject to insurer-set rates.

The business operates a hybrid B2C/B2B model. The B2C core is reimbursement-driven: the practice is contracted with all Dutch health insurers, with dietetics covered under basic insurance up to 3 hours per calendar year and additional hours available through supplementary insurance or care chain (ketenzorg) programs for chronic conditions; a €28 home-visit surcharge applies with GP referral. The B2B layer consists of corporate workshops, health checks, and ongoing lifestyle coaching delivered at client sites, with quoted enterprise engagements. Patient acquisition combines content marketing (blog, organic social), referrals from GPs and practice assistants, self-referrals, and cross-referrals from a co-located partner ecosystem of physiotherapy practices, health centers, and fitness studios. The team comprises approximately 10 dietitians with diversified specializations, supported by a practice manager handling invoicing and insurer relations.

Strategically, Vitalise has executed a measured roll-up of regional competitors (e.g., the September 2024 acquisition of Diëtistenpraktijk Tara Vossers in Haaksbergen), is relocating its Apeldoorn site to the multi-disciplinary Medipoort health center in July 2026, and has built out online and GLI product lines on top of the in-person core. The firm remains independent, founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding or parent company.

Direct peers

• Dietistintwente.nl: A regional dietitian practice serving the Twente area with comparable in-person dietary consultation offerings. Directly comparable in target geography, service mix, and reimbursement-driven model, and is explicitly cross-linked from Vitalise's site.
• MyDailyLifestyle: A Dutch lifestyle and nutrition coaching platform delivering reimbursed dietary advice, lifestyle interventions, and online support. Comparable in combining insurer-reimbursed dietetics with lifestyle coaching, targeting the same Dutch consumer market.
• Dieetzorg: A Dutch online dietitian platform offering reimbursed dietetic consultations nationwide. Comparable as a Dutch dietitian services competitor leveraging digital delivery and insurer contracts rather than a physical-only model.

Broad incumbents

• NIPED: A Dutch corporate health and prevention platform offering workplace health checks, lifestyle programs, and online interventions to companies across the country, directly competing for the same corporate wellness budgets as Vitalise's Voor Bedrijven vertical.
• WW (Weight Watchers) Netherlands: The Netherlands arm of the global WW weight-management program, operating at national scale through subscription and app-based coaching. Overlaps with Vitalise's weight-management segment but addresses a much broader consumer audience with a standardized, non-clinical program.

Others

• Voedingscentrum: The Dutch government's authoritative public nutrition information body, providing evidence-based dietary guidance, recipes, and tools to consumers. Not a commercial competitor but shapes patient expectations and the broader Dutch nutrition-coaching category.
