That distinction, survival vs. quality of life, is at the heart of her practice as a Naturopathic Doctor. Dr. Stevie works alongside clients navigating fatigue, pain, unpredictable symptoms, and the mental-emotional weight of long-term chronic illness, focusing on what makes life more enjoyable and liveable, rather than chasing a cure.

She welcomes clients of all backgrounds, bodies, and identities and recognizes the intersectional realities of chronic health at the junction of ethnicity, gender, disability, and access to care and how these factors influence the totality of ones lived experience.

Work With Dr. Stevie Inghram, ND

True, lasting health is a journey, not a quick fix. It takes time to unravel complex health issues, establish new rhythms, and allow the body to restore its own innate balance.

While Dr. Stevie offers flexible follow-up sessions, she strongly recommends that all new clients commit to a minimum of six months of guided support.

This timeframe allows us to move beyond initial health struggles and into the deep, foundational work required for sustainable health change. Depending upon the complexity of your health, support beyond six months may be beneficial. Overall, Dr. Stevie's goal is to empower you with the tools and understanding needed for a lifetime of health; this begins with our committed professional partnership.

To begin, you'll start with a comprehensive 2-hour deep dive which serves as the foundation of our work together along with offering a variety of follow-up options to support your health goals at any stage.

Dr. Stevie's Full Bio

Dr. Stevie Inghram, ND, MS, CNS, LDN (She/They) is a Naturopathic Doctor (ND), Contemplative Mind-Body Therapist, Certified Nutrition Specialist® (CNS), Illinois Licensed Dietician Nutritionist (LDN), Reiki Master, and Student of Acupuncture/Taoist Medicine; her work not only bridges modern science and ancient tradition but the entire continuum of mind, body, and spirit.

Largely, Dr. Stevie's professional endeavors have been deeply influenced not only by her personal experiences living with Adrenal Insufficiency but by her upbringing as a Christian pastor's kid where she struggled with gender/sexuality at the intersection of religious upbringing. Due to these experiences, Dr. Stevie was plagued with high anxiety and panic attacks during her college years. It was at this point that she was intuitively drawn to the Asian traditions of Yoga, Buddhism, and Taoism; all of which offer liberatory frameworks and practices for addressing the root of human suffering.

Given these inclinations and curiosities, Dr. Stevie developed a strong passion for Eastern philosophy and contemplative practice as all of these traditions seek to guide us into more optimal well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. Throughout the last 15+ years, Dr. Stevie's desire to deepen her knowledge of holistic health and healing sciences increased exponentially with exploration of these ancient traditions.

In her current practice, Dr. Stevie combines the tremendous depth of knowledge gained in her training as a Naturopathic Doctor with her prior experiences as a Contemplative Mind-Body Therapist integrating the wisdom of Yogic, Ayurvedic, Buddhist, and Taoist traditions to teach clients' practical and sustainable tools for greater health and vitality that will extend throughout their lifespan.

Currently, Dr. Stevie works with clients' globally online via Zoom and in-person at Thien Era Naturopathic in Homewood, Illinois (30-minutes south of Chicago).

Heavily influenced by Dharmic practice, Dr. Stevie believes that true holistic health-care not only benefits individuals but the collective good within society and the world at large. Her work is positioned with the awareness that the Western medical system is fundamentally shaped by capitalism, colonialism, cisheteronormativity, racism, white supremacy and other hierarchies of harm. She believes that healing requires not only individualized whole-person centered care but a fundamental shift towards liberatory care that seeks to remove the obstacles preventing the collective flourishing of all oppressed peoples'. This perspective is encompassed by her favorite motto, "Do no harm, take no shit!"

As an extension of her liberatory politics,, Dr. Stevie's life work focuses on researching, advocating, and amplifying the well-being of those in gender & sexually expansive (GSE) communities (2SLGBTQIA+). For more on Dr. Stevie's GSE advocacy, you can tune in to Queer Story Time The Podcast, a brave space for radical affirmation, acceptance, empowerment, and healing. QST is available across all major podcasting platforms and on Youtube.
