Caroline Markolin, Ph.D., received her doctorate in German literature from the University of Salzburg, Austria. After she moved to Canada in 1987, she taught German Language and Literature at Concordia University in Montreal. During her academic career, she published numerous books and essays on contemporary Austrian literature. In 1998, she resigned from her academic position as tenured associate professor and began to pursue her strong interest in naturopathic medicine.

In 1999, during a visit in Austria, she attended her first German New Medicine (GNM) lecture. Captivated by Ryke Geerd Hamer's scientific findings, she enthusiastically dedicated herself to the full-time study of the “New Medicine,” as it was still called then.

In 2002, after extensive and diligent immersion in the available GNM research material, she met Hamer and began to study under his guidance. In recognition of the in-depth knowledge of his work, Hamer entrusted her with the English translation of the Scientific Chart of German New Medicine^®, published in 2007.
