Dr. Gianina Soto

Founder and Visionary - Holistic Dental 2016

 The Founder: 

Dr. Gianina Soto — Holistic Dentist, Natural Forest Ethologist & Trauma-Informed Practitioner

A pioneer of biological dentistry and intuitive observation, Dr. Gianina Soto explores the natural behaviors of living systems — from the oral microbiome to the forest ecosystem — seeking a deeper understanding of nature to restore harmony and vitality.

Dr. Gianina Soto (DMD / DDS) is a unique, open-hearted Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry with a clear vision and mission rooted in non-violence in action. A committed vegan for over two decades, she embodies her philosophy through compassionate living and gentle, minimally invasive care.

She has translated this ethic into her clinical practice, integrating non-traumatic, regenerative, and plant-aligned approaches to oral medicine.

A self-taught observer of life’s wild intelligence, Dr. Soto lives immersed in the Costa Rican forest — a natural classroom where she studies the patterns of healing, cooperation, and communication among living beings. Her ethology is intuitive and reciprocal, bridging the wisdom of humans, animals, and elements into a holistic vision of medicine and life.
