Hannah van der Water

Hannah is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner who is passionate about helping patients uncover the root causes of their symptoms and find true healing. 

After eight years in conventional primary care, Hannah felt increasingly limited by a medical model that emphasized short-term fixes and “bandaid” approaches for symptoms. She knew there had to be more meaningful support for patients struggling with complex chronic issues. Motivated by her professional experiences and her own personal health journey, she turned to functional medicine.

Hannah has long held a deep interest in integrative, holistic care, frequently diving into research and continuing education on her own. But it was through her own experience as a patient of functional medicine that she truly saw its power. Pursuing formal training through the Institute for Functional Medicine felt like a natural evolution, allowing her to combine her clinical expertise with a more comprehensive, root-cause approach to care. She became an IFM Certified Practitioner in 2024.

Hannah practices in a way that honors the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. She believes in the body’s innate ability to heal and uses nutrition and lifestyle as powerful tools to support that process. Her practice centers on listening deeply, taking time to understand each person’s story, and creating individualized treatment plans that align with their goals and values.

In her free time, she loves getting lost in the mountains, a foreign country, or a good book!

Hannah received her medical training at Regis University, graduating with honors, and has been board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center since 2017. She is thrilled to walk alongside her patients on their journey toward health and healing!
