"My passion is helping clients reach their optimal health. I hope to meet you soon and hear your story!"

Dora Martindale is a Naturopath, Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, Licensed Massage Therapist and Micro-point Stimulation Practitioner. There is nothing more rewarding for Dora than to help eliminate pain and discomfort for her clients.

She is certified and skilled in the following fields of massage: Medical Therapeutic Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Infant massage, Therapeutic reflexology, Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Oncology Massage, Geriatric Massage, MAT and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. She has also been doing Micro-point stimulation with Dolphin MPS system for over 10 years for scar release, pain relief and neuropathy treatment.

After struggling for over 20 years with her own health issues and watching her daughter go down a similar path, Dora became keenly aware of all the people who were undeserved by the acute approach of conventional medicine. People all around her were unnecessarily suffering or simply existing with sub-par health. This realization became the biggest catalyst and inspiration to further invest in her education and to start helping others find their path to healing and optimal health. As a lifetime student and researcher at heart, Dora easily identified with the "detective" search for answers and root cause approach to functional medicine.

Her own health journey taught her that looking at the whole person is the key to healing. Nutrition, stress, sleep, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and triggering events all play a roll in our health. All of these aspects of health are unique to each of us as we all have our own story that makes us who we are. These are all the fundamental theories of functional nutrition and medicine, and it is how Dora approaches every client.
