Dermatology & Skin Health 

Alongside her functional medicine work, Dr Maria specialises in dermatology and healthy ageing focusing on the connection between internal wellness and external radiance. She treats a range of skin conditions including acne, rashes and age‑related concerns with a root‑cause philosophy—believing that truly healthy skin begins within. Her philosophy revolves around a 360° approach—nurturing the skin from the inside through nutrition and lifestyle, while protecting it from the outside with gentle, microbiome-friendly care. Real beauty isn’t about perfection; it’s about achieving your skin’s healthiest, most resilient state at every age.
