She graduated from Pacific University with a B.S. in cell/molecular biology. She then took a few years off to work as a medication aid in an assisted living facility which is where she discovered a passion for naturopathic medicine. As she was pushing pills to her patients with Alzheimers she thought there had to be a better option. After doing a little research, she discovered this amazing medicine and hasn’t looked back. Dr. Martin earned her doctorate degree in naturopathic medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine (now known as National University of Natural Medicine) located in Portland, OR. Her training included a rigorous internship in cardiopulmonary medicine and an externship in midwifery at a birth center.
