Yes. Are you sure she's a native speaker? It's hard to tell from a single word, but I think I hear a foreign accent.
Have you listened to the samples at forvo.com?
Is it right to pronounce 'stomach' in this way?
She is a native speaker.

I am not a teacher.
She doesn't sound like a native speaker to me (unless she has a regional accent I'm not familiar with and in which that pronunciation is common). As far as I know, pretty much every variant of English pronounces it as if it starts with "stum". Hers starts with "stom", as if she is someone who is used to pronouncing words phonetically.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
I'd like to hear her say "won" and "stunning".

Here is the video. The time of the word pronunciation is 3.45

I opened the video but I didn't bother skipping on to the relevant time. In the first 30 seconds, she mispronounces "pronunciation", saying "pronounciation". As far as I'm concerned, if she can't even get that right, there's little point taking any other advice from her.
Edit: I listened to the first 90 seconds of the video. She's clearly not a native English speaker. She makes the same "o" error in "other" (I mean the same error she made in "stomach"). She pronounces it as if rhymes with "bother". It doesn't. My guess is she's either Scandinavian or possibly from somewhere in Eastern Europe.

She definitely isn't a native speaker.
She doesn't sound Scandinavian. I'd guess she's Polish or Czech.
