Don’t let your physical, mental, or emotional health hold you back!
Hope and Clarity; no matter what the symptom or diagnosis!
Dr Vanessa Ingraham, ND, FAARFM, ABAAHP, NMHNZ
Dr. Vanessa graduated in 2010 as a CNME-Naturopathic Doctor (Canada) and completed her postgraduate fellowship in regenerative and functional medicine in 2017 (USA).
She is one of 3-4 Naturopathic Physicians practicing in New Zealand.
The difference between a NZ naturopath and an ND
In addition to standard medical practice and diagnostics, she has specialized training in clinical nutrition, acupuncture, ozone therapy, intravenous nutrient therapy, functional immunology, quantum biology, and mitochondrial dysfunction (light, water, magnetism, and electron flow as it pertains to health), integrative oncology, botanical medicine, psychology, and counseling.
“I specialize in complex and difficult cases, which are often mismanaged and hard to diagnose. These include cancer, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue/burnout, gynecological and women’s health, diabetes, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and other conditions underpinned by hormonal and immunological imbalances. I also enjoy working with those wishing to optimize their health, weight, sleep patterns, supercharge their energy, optimize brain function, and be the very best version of themselves.”

“My ultimate goal is to empower you with the relevant information needed to take control of your health. My approach is a highly individualized hybrid coaching model that demands that you take responsibility for your health but offers expert guidance and support.
No matter where you are starting from or what conventional doctors have told you, I’m here to offer hope. Healing is complex and non-linear, and no matter your starting point, I can meet you where you are and be your trusted guide on your journey back to health.
The type of clients best suited to this approach are those who do not feel well despite conventional tests being in range, have unexplained symptoms or have received a confusing medical diagnosis, feel dismissed or misunderstood by their current healthcare provider, and are looking for a truly holistic approach to sustained health and vitality.
Hormone status, stress, latent and active infections/dysbiosis, sleep/circadian rhythm disruption, nutrition, and immune dysfunction underlie most chronic disease states and are considered in every case. I work with clients to address 12 primary areas of health over 6-12 months; however, as no two cases are the same, I counsel clients to allow 1-2 months of treatment/coaching for every year they have been unwell. ”
