Dr. Pearce grew up as Danielle Phillips-Dorsett in southern Vermont, skiing (and mostly snowboarding), hiking, camping and developing an admiration of the natural world. She was drawn west for college and quickly learned to appreciate wide-open spaces and endless mountains! She was a student athletic trainer, coached the women's club lacrosse team, swam and played soccer for Whitman College. After graduation she became a licensed massage therapist, worked for the court system as a case manager and spent a summer as a wildland firefighter, all while searching for a profession to leave an impact on others.
When she learned about naturopathic medicine, it was a no brainer to jump right in! Combining the laws of the natural world, the science of the human body and the art of working with others to find the best in themselves- she couldn't think of a better fit. The practical Vermonter in her said, "this makes total sense, this is how I want to help others and create a career of lifelong learning." Danielle completed naturopathic medical school at Bastyr University in Seattle, WA. She took advanced training in hormonal health, women's health, environmental medicine, whole foods nutrition and preparation, botanical medicine, IV therapy, sports medicine and integrative oncology.
She went on to a 2 year residency in Billings, MT with the Yellowstone Naturopathic Clinic (YNC) and Frontier Cancer Center, now Cancer Centers of Montana- St. Vincent. She primarily saw patients with cancer through St. Vincent's and complex chronic disease, women's health and pediatrics at YNC. The six years spent at YNC was under the mentorship of Dr. Margaret Beeson, one of the premier naturopathic physicians in the country. She became Dr. Danielle Pearce when she decided it was a good idea to marry a railroader (she's still smitten). The railroad prompted a move from Billings to Whitefish.
In 2025 Dr. Pearce joined the Bridge Medical Center to work alongside renowned naturopathic physician, Dr. Steven Gordon. It is a dream location and she is truly grateful for the opportunity.
She looks forward to serving the Flathead Valley community.
You may see Dr. Pearce out on the Whitefish trails with her husband, kiddos and chocolate lab. Please say hi!
SCOPE OF PRACTICE:
Consultations with Dr. Martini may be by professional referral or self-inquiry. Initial evaluations will be conducted by the doctor himself. The complete initial assessment and subsequent visits may be in person, via telehealth, or a combination of both. Currently, Dr.
Martini is accepting state, federal, and private insurances subject to plan participation/policies. Past medical records pertinent to the current clinical problem may be requested but never used as a barrier to timely care.
Dr. Martini is skilled in the appropriate and judicious use of approved and evidence-based medications whenever and wherever indicated. Due primarily to required and intense regulatory oversight, Dr. Martini is NOT providing long-term opioid management for chronic pain conditions but may be able to assist with directing such care to a specialty provider group.
For musculoskeletal pain, Dr. Martini has a strong preference for manual and physical rehabilitative strategies, drawing from many and multiple traditional and alternative disciplines that may include (but are not limited to) physical therapy, osteopathy,
naturopathy, chiropractic, message therapy, Reiki, acupuncture, cranio-sacral, and more.
Some patients will be candidates for interventional pain procedures (injection), and a smaller group may need a timely surgical referral, all dependent on your clinical condition at the time of diagnosis. Dr. Martini is capable of providing and recommending the full range of options that will best suit each patient's unique situation and resources.
We look forward to serving you!
