Who am I?
Nice to meet you,
I am Valery Martino
I am a qualified Naturopathic practitioner N.D and a Clinical herbalist CL.H.
My approach is to blend modern scientific knowledge with traditional, natural forms of treatment.
I gained my expertise in a range of safe and effective natural practices: nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, food supplementation, lifestyle counselling, NLP and spiritual healing.
My Story
I came from a home where every medical problem or symptom was treated with, painkiller, antibiotic or other medication, without any awareness to proper nutrition or natural medicine.
During my Bs.c studies in university I suffered a lot with digestive disorders, and at the point when none of the conventional medications helped me anymore, I finally found my salvation by applying a natural and simple method.
And so it happened that my own personal experience paved the way to my professional specialization.
I finally allowed myself to accept the fact that sometimes simplicity is the solution.
I understood the importance of reducing stress, listening to the body, feeding it natural and clean food, viewing myself and every other person as a whole, complete person, and not as a machine made up of separate parts that do not interact with each other.
This is when the change started to happen.
After I solved my physical problems , I decided that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping people do the same and gaining back control over their health.
Through my decade of experience in various health conditions, I found myself consistently drawn to treating disorders of the digestive system. The intricacies of the gastrointestinal tract captivated my curiosity. As my passion for gastroenterology grew, I was eager to focus my Naturopathic practice and make this fascinating field my specialty. In the past few years, I have devoted myself fully to the study and treatment of conditions affecting the digestive system. My patients now benefit from my in-depth knowledge and nuanced expertise in managing gastrointestinal diseases and promoting digestive health. Choosing to specialize in gastroenterology has allowed me to transform my natural curiosity into a rewarding career centered around a complex, vital system.

My Specialization in Digestive Health
Gastrointestinal disorders have become increasingly prevalent health concerns in today's world. Diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis have reached epidemic proportions globally. While conventional gastroenterology plays a crucial role in managing these conditions, the field has often overlooked the significant benefits that Naturopathic medicine can provide as a complementary treatment approach. As a Naturopathic provider, I am compelled to spread awareness of the profound ways natural therapies can aid digestive health. Naturopathic remedies have demonstrated great potential to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms, lessen flare-ups, and promote remission without the adverse effects of many medications. I believe an integrated approach combining conventional and Naturopathic gastroenterology holds immense promise in fighting inflammatory bowel diseases and other chronic digestive conditions. My clinical mission is to bridge these disciplines to provide patients with the safest, most effective care for optimal digestive wellbeing.
My vision and desire are to provide a healthy and natural alternative for people who suffer from serious inflammations in the digestive system.
My goal is to help them gain back control over their health and improve their quality of life.
I offer a special kind of treatment: personalized, integrative, based upon solid scientific knowledge combined with tradition and connection to nature.
Based on my experience, a healthy and balanced digestive system plays a key role in preventing various chronic diseases and achieving optimal health!
The human body has an innate, remarkable capacity for self-healing when given the right conditions.
I believe true, deep healing stems from within—not from any external fixes alone. The body is a complex system, but also an intuitive one. When all its parts work in harmony, retaining balance and self-regulation, it is primed to activate its own healing potential. My therapeutic approach thus aims to honor the body's wisdom and restore inner balance naturally. Rather than override the issues, I collaborate with my patients to remove obstacles blocking their innate healing. This empowers their bodies' intrinsic ability to mend and thrive. My goal is always to gently nudge the body back into alignment, tapping into its default state of wholeness. I trust in the safety and elegance of natural solutions to catalyze my patients' innate self-healing from inside out. My treatments simply assist what their bodies are striving to do on their own.
I provide convenient virtual consultations, making naturopathic care accessible from the comfort of your own home. There is no need to travel - simply prepare a quiet space, your device of choice with internet connection, and an open mind. That's all you need to begin your healing journey and experience the benefits of naturopathic medicine through online appointments. You can take the first step toward renewed wellbeing right from your living room. I'm excited to support your health transformation through compassionate virtual naturopathic care.
