Dr. Lynn Tintinalli, N.D.

Dr. Lynn Tintinalli, N.D., has been practicing Naturopathic Medicine in Thunder Bay since September 2001. She obtained her medical training at the accredited Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario, and is a member of the Ontario & Canadian Associations of Naturopathic Doctors.

Dr. Tintinalli also received her Honours Bachelor of Science and Neuroscience from Brock University. During her fourth year of undergraduate studies, she successfully completed her Honors thesis in fibromyalgia. In addition to her Naturopathic training, Dr. Tintinalli is also a Reiki Master, certified Quantum Touch® Practitioner and Craniosacral therapist. These hands-on energetic healing therapies are commonly used in her practice to alleviate pain, heal injuries and promote emotional well-being.

Dr. Tintinalli understands the need to encompass both mind and body in medicine and the healing process. Her own healing journey lead her to Kundalini Yoga, of which she went on to become a certified instructor. After having spent a month in New Mexico for intensive training, she now incorporates yoga, meditation and breathing techniques into her Naturopathic practice. Individualized and group yoga sessions are integrated into the overall treatment for pain reduction, flexibility, relaxation and overall well-being.

As a former migraine sufferer, Dr. Tintinalli has developed a special interest in neurological disorders and various natural treatment approaches particular to these conditions. Through personal and professional experience with Naturopathic therapies, she understands the importance of treating the underlying physical imbalances within the whole body, rather than simply suppressing the presenting symptoms.

Ramduan (Puiy) Dusolt

Puiy was born and raised in the rural North East of Thailand in the village of Kranuan. As a young girl, she was taught how to perform Thai Massages by her Aunt, a village Elder. This form of healing was an intricate part of her life and was always the first step taken when aches and pains arose.

After doing Thai massages all her life on her family and friends, she decided to pursue it a bit more and returned to Thailand for formal training at Wat Po, the temple where Traditional Medicine is taught. There, Puiy received her Professional Level 1 certification which included theory, massage techniques, Traditional Medicine and herbs, as well as practicing on more than 100 patients. In Thailand, this allows her to work within the health care system including hospitals.

During her courses she learned the fundamentals of Thai Massage Points and Lines and how they can be used to stimulate the circulation of blood and lymph, and also improve the body's immune system to promote anti-aging and longevity.

Puiy is quite passionate about Traditional Healing and is very excited to bring it to Thunder Bay. She will be returning to Bangkok in the near future to continue her training and focusing on herbal therapies for additional pain relief in conjunction with Thai Massage.
