Prof. Dra. Maria Belén Ortigoza Samaniego, FCMC, FCP is a physician specializing in restorative reproductive medicine and Functional Medicine. She founded Donum Vitae to offer the kind of care she felt was missing: unhurried, evidence-informed, and genuinely explanatory.
She trained in medicine and later completed advanced education in NaProTechnology and Functional Medicine, and has since cared for patients across Europe and South America. Her practice is based in Lisbon, with regular consulting periods in Asunción, Paraguay.
She consults in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, and works with patients internationally through telehealth.

Philosophy of care
Every symptom is information. My work is to gather that information carefully, explain what it means in language you can use, and treat the cause with the least intervention that will actually work. You should leave a appointment understanding your own body better than when you arrived.
Our promise
Understanding your body from the inside
We take time to listen, to measure what is actually happening in your body, and to explain it in plain language. Nothing is dismissed as “just how you are.”
Time to be heard
Long first appointments and a full history — because patterns rarely show up in fifteen minutes.
Real data, clearly explained
Cycle charting, hormone timing, and targeted labs, translated into language that makes sense to you.
Treatment that fits your life
Plans built around your body, your goals, and what is realistic for you day to day.
