Why I became a doctor?

Many factors played a role in my becoming a naturopathic doctor. When I was in my late teens, I fell severely ill and experienced the power of integrative/holistic healing first hand. This started my love affair with alternative ways of healing and with the magic that is the human body. Also, I found throughout my life that I was happiest when I was educating/teaching people and when I was doing something that empowered someone or helped someone be the best version of themselves. I also was kind of an academic “nerd” through my school years and really valued high academic rigor. When I found out that there was an academically rigorous, scientifically based 4-year medical program in natural medicine, it was an instantaneous “knowing” that this was what I was going to do with my life! I feel blessed to do what I do. It is an extremely stimulating and dynamic profession and it brings me so much joy to be able to play a part in my patient’s wellness!

What conditions I love to treat:

Gastrointestinal conditions or digestive complaints

Candidal infections

Thyroid and adrenal related disorders

Auto-Immune conditions

Fatigue

Things you may not know about me:

I love getting sweaty. I’m super active and love running, beach volleyball, yoga and dancing.

I’m currently learning how to salsa – so fun!

I’m super competitive and play both tennis and pool competitively.

I have a serious case of wanderlust and travel regularly.

My favorite trip thus far? Biking the east coast of Australia with my own two feet.

I’m on a continual mission to better myself. We all have our individual strengths and struggles, but in the end, we’re all on this journey together.

I strive to become a better version of myself each day and create a where I can shine and flow (and then? I try to help my patients do the same!)

Praise:
5 star ratingDr. Martinez has been an answer to prayer in treating both of my daughters. She is an excellent doctor and an equally amazing real person. I cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her. I love that she treats my daughters holistically. We travel 90 minutes away to see Dr Martinez; well worth the trip. Sincerely, Donna Hebert-Pfeiffer.

5 star ratingI recommend Nourish. I treat with Dr. Martinez and she is sharp. This is the first and only Naturopath who recommended supplements that did not adversely affect me. The cost of the tests, treatment and fees to see Dr. Martinez are a wise investment. Faith and Mimi are kind and helpful. Mimi is an incredible phlebotomist. I wish I had found Nourish long ago and I'm so thankful for the blessing. Thankful to God and the entire team at Nourish.

Love this place! First off, it's super cute, inviting and clean! Such a different feel from your average stale doctors office that I dread going to. I've been seeing Dr. Martinez who is the sweetest! I have so appreciated her gentle spirit and knowing she truly cares about all my issues and concerns. She helps to explain and inform about sometimes complex topics to help me better understand whats going on, and tackle the issues in the best way. I have felt a 180 shift for the better after following her expertise and look forward to continuing on the path to optimal health. I had some blood work done with Damarias who was obviously a seasoned pro. It was quick and easy, and we enjoyed a and friendly conversation while I was in and out in minutes. The front desk staff has always been friendly and efficient with booking appointments and any questions I've had. For me, having a place like Nourish that I look forward to visiting and TRUST in for my care is PRICELESS!

5 star ratingDr. Martinez is caring, compassionate, and above all very intelligent. I have been seeing Dr. Martinez for more than a decade and it has changed my life. I am much healthier, and feel much better than I did prior to visiting Nourish Medical Center. The office is always clean, and the staff friendly and courteous. I highly recommend the whole team at NMC.

5 star ratingI am soooo very grateful for the kind, caring, intuitive skills, expertise and guidance I have received from Dr Martinez in my quest for improved health! Prior to going to Dr Martinez I endured repeated health problems for one unknown reason after another plus countless Dr visits when a friend of mine, whose family had already experienced healing with the help of Dr Martinez, encouraged me to also give this awesome Dr a try in hopes she could help me. AND, SHE HAS HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY! She has persevered in her quest to discover the reasons and the remedies for my particular health challenges and the results have been amazing! I feel so much better not only physically but, mentally as well because of the possibilities in maintaining this improvement. There really are not enough ways to express my joy in getting to work AS A TEAM with such a knowledgeable professional where my best health is of utmost importance. She is a blessing to me!

5 star ratingI can't say enough great things about this medical center, I feel like I truly have my life back. I first saw Dr. Roumell but she realized that my case was a little trickier than she thought so she referred me to Dr. Martinez. To me this said a lot because other doctors can be too prideful to say hey I've done as much as I think I can and it would benefit you to see someone else. Dr. Roumell got the ball rolling in my healing no doubt about it and then Dr. Martinez just kicked it up a couple notches. I am so grateful I live in the area to be able to see her on a regular basis. I will continue to be treated by them and once I decide to start a family of my own Dr. Roumell will be my go to!

Great experience. Dr. Martinez helped me with adrenal exhaustion, H pylori, as well as other gut issues I was dealing with that multiple GI doctors could not help me with. I am still on the road to recovery but I am in a much better place than when I started 5 months ago. This kind of attention to health takes a high level of commitment + time but its so worth it. I also appreciate high level of communication between myself and the staff at nourish. They do a good job with their patient portal. Would definetely recommend!

5 star ratingI started my journey at Nourish with Dr. Martinez in March of 2024, and it has been an exceptional experience from the start. I immediately felt welcomed and excited about my visit. Dr. Martinez attentively listened as I went through my list of symptoms, addressing each one thoroughly. Not only did she want to understand my health struggles, but she made it a point to understand who I was as a person, i.e. communication styles, family/friend life, etc. Following our first appointment, she provided me with a comprehensive plan to tackle my symptoms and improve my overall well-being. Her genuine care for her patients is evident in her approach.

I've never had such a positive experience with a doctor before, she caught things that so many doctors have missed and I am already feeling like a human again! Even the front desk staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. I am eager to continue my health journey with Nourish and Dr. Martinez. I was so impressed that I recommended Nourish to a friend, and she has already scheduled an appointment.
