Dr. Sylvi Martin BScN, RN, ND


Sylvi Martin is a Naturopathic Doctor and a Registered Nurse who has been practicing in the field of professional regulation for over a decade.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Laurentian University in 2004, Sylvi practiced acute care psychiatric nursing at a busy inner-city hospital in Toronto where dealing with high-risk clinical scenarios was a daily occurrence.

Sylvi went on to pursue studies in naturopathic medicine, graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2009. Since then, in addition to her naturopathic practice in Toronto, she has been practicing in professional regulations as an investigator for an Ontario health regulatory college, and as a professional member of a statutory Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee for another Ontario regulator. Since 2016, Sylvi has been instructing continuing education courses in ethics and jurisprudence for various associations and educational institutions in Canada.

When she’s not furthering her training in mindfulness and clinical nutrition or working on her latest workshop or course, she can be found nibbling blueberries and feeding the “trust fund squirrels” in her garden, perfecting her chocolate savouring skills, swimming at the cottage, or on the hunt for more scarves in some corner of the world with her infinitely patient partner Dave.
