From Lab Coats to Light Therapy: Ida Fanelli Joins the International Order of Fantastic Professionals

What happens when science meets self-care? For Ida Fanelli, it sparks a transformational journey—one that has reshaped the world of holistic aesthetics and earned her a place among the world’s most visionary professionals.

Based in London, Ontario, Canada, Fanelli is the powerhouse behind Esthetics by Ida, a haven for those seeking both outer radiance and inner balance. With over 30 years of experience in skincare, reflexology, energy healing, and IPL laser technology, Ida’s story is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and radical care.

Her path began in the world of clinical biochemistry—a highly technical role she left behind after a 1993 layoff. But what seemed like a setback became a launchpad. Ida turned to reflexology and aesthetics, completing formal training at the D’Arcy Lane Institute and Marvel School of Beauty. Since then, she has cultivated a deeply personal practice—one that blends modern technologies like LED and IPL with ancient principles of energy and healing.

This month, the International Order of Fantastic Professionals (IOFP) proudly inducted Ida Fanelli into its global network of high-achieving changemakers. Celebrated for her innovative approach to wellness, Ida joins a distinguished group of leaders reshaping their fields for the better.

“Being welcomed into the International Order of Fantastic Professionals is both an honor and a joy,” said Fanelli. “This recognition affirms the work I’ve poured my heart into for decades. I look forward to connecting with fellow changemakers and continuing to promote healing, beauty, and education in all that I do.”

And she does plenty of it. Fanelli is a two-time recipient of the Prestige Award for Top Hair Removal Clinic (2024, 2025), a contributor to Brainz Magazine, a creator on Medium, and a voice for holistic health on her show “Where Science Meets Self-Care” on Brave Bold TV and her “Ida’s Ideas.” YouTube channels.
