Meet Dr. Maria McKendry
30 Years of Experience, A Lifetime of Faith-Centered Healing
I believe that God designed our bodies with an incredible ability to heal—we just need to remove the barriers standing in the way.
My Journey to Root-Cause Healing
I began my career as a licensed Physical Therapist, spending decades working in traditional clinical settings. I was grateful for the opportunity to help people heal and regain their mobility, but over time, I began to notice a pattern—so many of my patients were managing symptoms rather than truly healing.
When I started raising my own family, I felt a calling that would change the trajectory of my life and practice. I wanted to support my loved ones in a way that honored how God designed the body to function—naturally, holistically, and without relying on medications that simply masked the problem.
That calling led me down a path of discovery. I immersed myself in functional medicine, metabolic health, detoxification, cellular wellness, muscle testing, and the profound connection between our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I studied everything I could get my hands on because I knew there had to be a better way.
My life’s mission
→ What started as a personal mission to help my family became my life's work. I earned certifications as a Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner.
→ I became a Master of Blood Chemistry, trained extensively in functional lab testing, and developed expertise in remote muscle testing—a tool that allows me to understand what the body truly needs on a deeper, more individualized level.
→ Over the past 30 years, I've had the honor of working with hundreds of women, children, and families—helping them uncover the root causes of their struggles and guiding them toward natural, sustainable healing.
→ Whether it's hormonal chaos, chronic fatigue, gut dysfunction, toxic overload, or children struggling with sleep and behavior, I've seen firsthand how powerful the body's healing capacity is when we support it the way God intended.
→ Today, my practice is fully virtual, which means I can serve families anywhere in the world. I use functional labs, remote muscle testing, personalized protocols, and compassionate guidance to help my clients remove the physical, emotional, and spiritual barriers blocking their healing.
My mission is simple: to help you and your family rediscover the health, peace, and vitality that God designed for you.
Functional Testing
Genetics, DUTCH hormones, toxins, pathogens, metabolism, nutrients — I test to understand what your body truly needs.
Muscle Testing
Precise, individualized insight into what your body needs through advanced muscle testing techniques… all done remotely!
Mind-Body-Spirit
I integrate emotional and spiritual roots of illness, recognizing that true healing encompasses all aspects of your being.
Root-Cause Depth
I address hormones, detox pathways, cellular health, toxicities, pathogens, emotional stress, and spiritual alignment—not just symptoms.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“In just two short months, the progress we have witnessed has been nothing short of incredible.”
“We began taking our 7-year-old son, who is autistic and nonverbal, to see Dr. Maria McKendry in July of 2025. Our son, who had never spoken words before, can now be considered preverbal. He has begun saying many sounds and simple words such as ‘mom,’ ‘dad,’ ‘go,’ and ‘no,’ as well as most letter sounds. On his very first day of school this year, he surprised everyone by telling his teacher, ‘I want my mommy.’ That moment brought us so much hope.
Beyond language, we’ve noticed amazing changes in his overall behavior and awareness. He’s more connected to his surroundings, enjoys spending long stretches of time outdoors, and his stamina has grown so much that we now walk at least a mile together every day. To our delight, he has also learned how to pedal and ride his bike almost entirely on his own.
The changes we’ve seen in just two months are remarkable, and we truly believe it’s because of the care and guidance from Dr. Maria McKendry. We cannot wait to see what the next two months and beyond will bring. It has been a life-changing experience for our son and for our family.”

SYMPTOMS ARE MESSENGERS
Your body is always communicating with you. Fatigue, hormone imbalances, gut issues, anxiety—these aren't problems to suppress. They're messages telling you that something deeper needs attention. I help you decode those messages and address the root cause, not just silence the alarm.
