Meet Martha
As a certified health coach at PartnerMD’s Richmond, VA office, Martha Dorr is passionate about helping patients feel supported, encouraged, and capable of real change.
Before becoming a health coach, Martha worked as a nurse in both intensive care and women’s health. That experience sparked her desire to help people improve their health before reaching a crisis point and to do it in a way that is personalized and sustainable.
“My philosophy is that we’re partners on this journey,” she says. “I’m not here to tell you what to do. I want to hear your story, your motivation, and your goals, so we can build a plan that makes sense for you.”
For Martha, the best part of being a health coach is helping people move from being overwhelmed to empowered. She knows that health advice can be confusing and frustrating, and she is here to cut through that noise and help people apply the right strategies to their unique situation.
“A big misconception is that there’s nothing you can do,” she says. “But there are always ways to support, optimize, and help your body flourish so you can live better tomorrow than you do today.”
Martha focuses on compassionate, individualized care rooted in research and real-life experience. Her goal is for patients to leave every appointment feeling heard and hopeful.
