A healer forged in crisis.
In 1992, Dr. Virginia Marston's nine-month-old daughter Mary suffered a forty-minute anoxia after aspirating a piece of pecan. The result was universal brain damage and a nonverbal, quadriplegic state that would define the next eighteen years of their life together.
When conventional medicine had little to offer, Virginia, a mother of twelve, began her own search. She dove into naturopathic medicine, neural therapy, ozone therapy, iridology, family constellation work — anything that might give Mary more life. What started as a mother's desperate education became a vocation.
Mary passed at eighteen. By then, the unconventional therapies Virginia had assembled for her daughter had matured into a practice. She became an American Board-certified naturopathic doctor and a registered Mexican nurse, eventually founding La Luz Wellness Center in Chihuahua to bring the same care to others facing chronic illness.
Today, three decades into her practice, Dr. Marston is a sought-after speaker at holistic health conferences in the United States and Mexico — sharing what she's learned about cellular detoxification, family dynamics in healing, and the body's capacity to repair itself when given the right conditions.
