I originally gained my Bachelor of Science Degree from Auckland University, majoring in Plant Pathology and Cellular Immunology. Subsequently, I have spent several years working as a research plant virologist.

Over the last 10 years I have developed a passion for learning more about natural therapies and recently went on to qualify as an Iridologist and Naturopath at Wellpark College, Auckland, majoring in Herbal Medicine. For the last 5 years I have also been involved in Community Education teaching as an Iridology and Aromatherapy tutor.

My position as Natural Health Advisor provides me the opportunity to do a variety of things, such as providing technical advice on our 0800 Naturopathic Line, developing the Continuing Education Programme and being part of our product development team. I take a keen interest in nutritional & herbal supplementation, as a means of preventative healthcare and am committed to helping people achieve ongoing good health through natural medicine, diet & lifestyle.

I am always delighted to be able to share knowledge about a balanced healthy lifestyle, so if you have any queries, please contact me via email: ingrid.pilz@vitaco.co.nz
