Dr. Steven Marsden

Dr. Steve Marsden was born in Ontario, Canada and raised in Western Canada. In our conversation, he describes a pivotal moment in his childhood that led him to consider veterinary medicine as a career.

He earned his DVM from the University of Saskatchewan in 1988, then went into mixed and then small animal practice. He became interested in Homeopathy as a way to help his patients, and earned his Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and his Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine in 1999.

He co-founded the Edmonton Holistic Veterinary Clinic as well as the Natural Path Clinic for people in 2001. He is also the co-founder of the College of Integrative Veterinary Therapies and the founder of the Natural Path Herb Company.

Dr. Marsden has written and lectured extensively over the decades of his career and has served in many roles in organized veterinary medicine.

Please enjoy this conversation with Dr. Steve Marsden as we discuss his education, interest in holistic medicine, practice experience, and his current passion of working with senior rescue dogs and educating his colleagues and the public about holistic medicine via his Facebook page and his Cured Cases website
