A leading Naturopathic Clinic, in Central ChristchurchAt SmartGENES healthcare is individualised, collaborative and patient centered. With education and knowledge, clients are empowered to take control of their own health.
Individualized & Evidence-Based HealthcareNaturopathic medicine can play a vital role in your journey toward optimal health, by artfully blending traditional practices with evidence-based approaches. Our holistic perspective on wellness recognizes that each individual is unique, and we tailor our treatments to meet specific needs.
With the flexibility of being able to take the time to listen, we can draw
connections to find the root causes of conditions and not just focus on symptoms. By incorporating herbal medicine, which has been used for centuries across various cultures, a naturopath honors these remedies while ensuring they are supported by modern scientific research. Nutritional supplements are also instrumental in restoring health, with significant ongoing research in this field. We recognizes that a return to health isn't something done to you but rather something that happens within you. When this natural healing intelligence works optimally, health naturally follows. Our role at SmartGENES isn't to override this intelligence but to support it.
In addition to herbal therapies, we emphasize the importance of nutrition. Food is not just fuel; it is a powerful tool for healing and maintaining health. By guiding individuals towards balanced diets rich in whole foods, we help to nurture the body from within. If more specialised information gathering is needed, functional testing is always an option that may be discussed during your consultation. Find Your Wellbeing at SmartGENES Naturopathic ClinicOur approach to health and wellbeing is simple:
keep things achievable and sustainable, and build a solid foundation of lasting health Safety remains paramount throughout treatment. Despite naturopathy's generally excellent safety profile, we stay educated about potential interactions between herbs, supplements, and medications.
By creating an empowering and respectful partnership with you, our goal is walking alongside you and getting your health back on track. With 25 years of experience, we have a deep respect for the important role that naturopathic medicine plays alongside conventional medicine in restoring robust health and vitality.

Vanessa has been such an amazing help since my first initial consult in December. Her expertise and knowledge has made some huge impacts and changes to my overall well-being and health without making me feel overwhelmed with implementing unrealistic lifestyle changes. She has been really adapting to my needs and what I have been wanting to focus on within the short time of seeing her. Highly recommend seeing Vanessa if you’re needing help/guidance!

Vanessa is incredible!!!! After years of being treated by doctors for multiple different health issues; skin, gut, sleep, mind, general wellbeing.. I was constantly sick, chronic lethargy, and a very poor quality of life for a 28 year old. Vanessa was able to connect the dots to all of my health issues - which doctors don't do. I incorporated some great supplements for my health, started living more holistically, and changed some bad health habits of medicating a problem. I now looking for the root cause of something, and how I can treat it from a holistic approach. I often say to friends, Vanessa changed my life - and that's how I feel! Thank you! Google Review
