Who we are

Two decades in practice. Still listening first.

Vogue ND is a contemporary naturopathic medical clinic in Lake Country, BC, built around a simple idea: take the time to listen, understand the bigger picture, and make decisions together.

How we practise

Care starts with understanding you.

Listen First

Your story matters. We take the time to understand what you're experiencing, what has changed and what matters most to you.

Look at the Bigger Picture

Health concerns don't always fit neatly into one category. We consider your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, existing testing and other factors that may be influencing how you feel.

Give You Options

When there is more than one reasonable way forward, we explain the options so you can understand the choices available to you.

Decide Together

Your goals and preferences are part of your care. Treatment decisions are made collaboratively rather than handed to you as a one-size-fits-all plan.

Meet your dream team

A growing team of practitioners and care professionals, here to make sure you feel welcomed, supported and cared for.

Our story

Twenty years of experience shaped what Vogue ND is today.

Dr. Vicky Gairns began practising naturopathic medicine in British Columbia in 2006. Over the two decades since, her career has grown through private practice, clinic ownership, teaching, clinical supervision, patient education and the development of specialized services.

Through all of that experience, one thing has remained remarkably consistent: people want time to be heard, information they can understand and meaningful choices in their care.

Vogue ND is the next chapter of that experience — a contemporary clinic built around comprehensive assessment, individualized care and a collaborative relationship between doctor and patient.

Our philosophy

A broader approach to medicine.

Naturopathic medicine allows us to consider health from multiple perspectives and draw from a broad range of approaches when developing individualized care.

At Vogue ND, that doesn't mean choosing between “natural” and conventional medicine. It means considering the options available, understanding when they may be appropriate, and making thoughtful decisions based on the individual patient.

Our approach is grounded in the principles of naturopathic medicine while continuing to evolve alongside modern clinical practice.

Rooted in the Okanagan

Proudly at home in Lake Country.

Vogue ND is proud to call Lake Country home, on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan people.

From our clinic here in the Okanagan, we welcome patients from Lake Country, Kelowna, Vernon and surrounding communities, with virtual care available where appropriate.
