Aqua Viva is a longevity and health optimisation clinic in Parnell, Auckland.​ The clinic was founded by Dr Ulrich Doering, who began his integrative GP clinic in Titirangi, Auckland, in 1997 after practising across private clinics and integrative hospitals Switzerland, Germany, the UK and New Zealand. With over 35 years of clinical experience, he continues to be part of the clinic today as founder and clinical lead.

​

Aqua Viva has been at the forefront of IV therapy and health optimisation in New Zealand for more than two decades. Long before longevity medicine became a global movement, the clinic was already working with clients seeking a deeper, more personalised approach to health, recovery and resilience. IV nutrient therapy has been part of the clinic’s work since the early 2000s, placing Aqua Viva as New Zealand’s earliest and most experienced provider in this field.

​

In 2020, the clinic moved to Parnell and rebranded to Aqua Viva, marking the evolution from a long-established integrative GP clinic into a dedicated longevity and health optimisation clinic.

Today, Aqua Viva offers an elevated in-house clinical pathway for clients seeking more than standard wellness care. Supported by an experienced team of nurses and expert medical professionals, the clinic brings together the Aqua Viva Assessment, in-house blood collection, biomarker review, IV nutrient therapy, NAD+, ozone therapy, EBOO Blood Filtration, heavy metal chelation and personalised health planning. The result is a more scientific, measured and highly personalised approach to supporting long-term vitality, resilience and performance.

​

At the centre of our approach is the Aqua Viva Assessment.

​

This is the starting point for clients who want a clearer, more scientific understanding of their health. Rather than making recommendations based only on symptoms, trends or isolated concerns, we begin by establishing a baseline.​ This may include a detailed health history, clinical review, blood testing, biomarker analysis and selected functional or advanced assessments where appropriate.

​From there, we identify patterns. These may relate to inflammation, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, nutrient status, hormone balance, thyroid function, toxic or environmental burden, recovery capacity, energy production and overall resilience.

​

Our process is both standardised and personalised.

​

It is standardised because every client begins with a structured assessment process. This gives the team a consistent clinical foundation and allows key health markers to be reviewed in a systematic way.

​It is personalised because no two clients are the same. Once a baseline is established, recommendations are tailored to the individual’s results, history, goals, suitability and level of complexity.​

For some clients, the focus may be nutrient support, regeneration and improved vitality. For others, it may involve deeper assessment, clearance-focused support, heavy metal review, ozone, EBOO, cardiovascular optimisation or a staged plan over time.

​

We believe progress should be measured.

​

Where appropriate, clients are guided through follow-up testing and review so changes can be tracked over time. This allows the clinic to move beyond guesswork and create a clearer picture of what is improving, what still needs attention and what the next step should be.​

Aqua Viva is designed for clients who want more than a general wellness appointment. It is for people seeking a medical, scientific and highly personalised approach to health optimisation, delivered by an experienced clinical team in a calm and refined environment.

​

Our aim is simple: to help clients understand their health more deeply, identify what may be holding them back, and take a more informed path toward long-term vitality, resilience and performance.
