Dr. Cecilia de Martino, ND was born in Montreal and was fortunate to have lived in the Philippines and Germany. While in Germany she became fluent in German and her frequent visits to family in Italy allowed her to master the Italian language as well. Once back in Canada, she completed her high school diploma in Cambridge and then obtained her Bachelor of Science in Technology in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the University of Guelph.
