Naturopathy at Lorne Park Integrated Health

Dr. Vanessa Testaguzza is a naturopathic doctor dedicated to supporting her patients through every stage of life. She believes in treating the root causes of illness—not just the symptoms—and in helping her patients feel empowered, and balanced.

Dr. Vanessa’s practice focuses on women’s health and pediatrics. As both a naturopathic doctor and a mother, she understands the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey women face—from preconception, through pregnancy and postpartum recovery, to perimenopause and menopause. She offers compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each woman’s unique needs.

Children also hold a special place in Dr. Vanessa’s practice. During her clinical training, she was part of the pediatric focus shift, where she developed a passion for caring for children’s health. Today, she provides gentle, safe, and effective support for concerns such as digestion, immunity, sleep, and behaviour, always with a focus on helping kids thrive.

Dr. Vanessa has also completed advanced training and certification in Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT). This allows her to support women experiencing postpartum depletion, perimenopause, menopause, and other hormonal imbalances with personalized treatment plans.

She completed her naturopathic medical training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto and holds an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Nutritional Science and Neuroscience from the University of Toronto. She is in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario and is a member of both the Canadian and Ontario Associations of Naturopathic Doctors.

At the heart of Dr. Vanessa’s practice is a belief in the body’s natural ability to heal. She takes the time to listen deeply, uncover the root of her patients’ concerns, and design individualized plans that may include nutrition, lifestyle, and natural therapies. Her goal is to ensure every patient feels heard and supported on their journey to lasting health.

Outside of her practice, Dr. Vanessa enjoys being a mom and finds joy in connecting with families in her community. She understands firsthand the challenges of balancing health, family, and everyday life—something that inspires her to support her patients with empathy and care.

If you’re looking for compassionate, personalized care for yourself or your child, Dr. Vanessa would be honoured to walk alongside you on your health journey.
