L.M.
Hi L.,
I am an naturopath and acupuncturist, having graduated from The National College of Natural Medicine in Portland. It took me 6 years to get through school and that was after completing the pre-requisites to get in. My husband, who is also a naturopath (we met in school) and I own a wellness center in Portland. It is a rewarding profession that I love. I only work part-time currently as I care for my 2 year old and am expecting another in May, but before having children I had a thriving, busy practice. School is expensive and a long haul, but can be worth it if you are clear it is the right path.
