What is integrative oncology?

Integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-informed field of cancer care that combines mind and body practices, natural therapies, and lifestyle medicine alongside conventional cancer treatment. The goal is to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes across the entire cancer journey — before, during, and after treatment. It is the model of care championed by the Society for Integrative Oncology, of which I am a professional member.

How does naturopathic support fit into cancer care?

Naturopathic doctors trained in oncology work alongside your conventional medical team. The focus is on evidence-informed natural and supportive therapies that help manage side effects, support recovery, reduce the risk of recurrence, and improve quality of life. Nothing I recommend will conflict with your treatment plan, and I work collaboratively with your oncology team throughout.

Can I work with you if I am still in active treatment?

Yes. During active treatment the focus shifts to supportive care — managing side effects, protecting gut health, and optimizing nutrition to help your body tolerate treatment as well as possible. In the windows between treatments, we use that time strategically to strengthen your system, support recovery, and build resilience for what's ahead. Everything I recommend is evidence-informed and safe alongside your conventional treatment plan.

What is functional testing and why does it matter in cancer care?

Functional testing goes beyond standard blood work to assess how your body is actually functioning — including estrogen metabolism, nutrient status, gut health, inflammation markers, and organic acids. In a cancer care context, this gives us a detailed picture of the biological environment influencing your recovery and long-term resilience, so we can address root causes rather than manage symptoms in isolation.

What is a root cause approach to cancer recovery?

Rather than managing symptoms, a root cause approach asks why those symptoms are happening. Using functional testing and detailed health history, I identify the underlying patterns — hormonal, metabolic, gut-related, inflammatory — that are driving how you feel, so we can address them at the source rather than layer treatments on top of symptoms.

What is functional breast health support?

Functional breast health support goes beyond imaging and standard follow-up. Using estrogen metabolism testing, organic acids, functional blood chemistry, and genetic markers, I assess the biological environment that influences breast cancer risk and recovery — giving you and me a detailed picture of what is actually happening, so we bring the body back into balance.

Do you see patients outside New Zealand?

Yes. I work entirely online and currently see patients across New Zealand and the United States. All consultations take place via a secure telehealth portal — no special software required.

Does my insurance cover your services?

Some Health Reimbursement Programs in the United States cover consultations and functional testing — contact your employer for details. In New Zealand, Accuro and Southern Cross may reimburse naturopathic and nutrition consultations, but only when provided by practitioners registered with recognized professional associations. As a registered member of the Naturopaths and Medical Herbalists of New Zealand and Clinical Nutritionists Aotearoa NZ, my services meet that requirement. Please contact your insurer directly to confirm your cover.

What People Are Saying

“Camille’s help after breast cancer”
“I sought Camille's help after my breast cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemo and radiation. So you can imagine I was pretty down and out mentally and physically!
We chose the online Whole Health Kete Programme which was over 3 months, in this time my plan was broken down into 3 phases which was an easy transition of lifestyle changes, eating patterns, and supplements to support my health.
Camille was able to take all my symptoms and resolve them in this time period and the information is available to me to check in periodically to make sure I'm still on the right track.
Camille's approach is wonderful, never judgemental, and ultimately exactly what I needed when coming through a traumatic and scary time in my life. I don't hesitate to recommend friends or family to her service and will continue to seek support when needed in the future.”

- ALICIA N. Southland, NZ
“My symptoms have gone away”
“I’ve been seeing Camille for 8 weeks for several long term chronic conditions. Thanks to Camille’s endless knowledge and expertise I’ve had really positive changes during such a short time.

Some of these ailments I’ve been dealing with for decades (with no success) and within just a couple of months so many of my symptoms have gone away or improved immeasurably.

Her attention to detail, sincere interest and kind and caring nature has meant working with her has been a pleasure."

— JACINDA S. Nelson, NZ
“Completely changed my life”
“My experience with Camille has completely changed my life. Since I was in a car accident from age 12 I’ve been suffering with severe migraines, joint & muscle pain with the last few years becoming increasingly more difficult. After a thorough assessment of my accident, injury & medical history, Camille immediately prescribed me a range of lifestyle changes, supplements & an improved eating plan.

Within weeks my joint stiffness & migraine frequency have decreased and my ability to function with less pain greatly improved.

I highly recommend Camille for her compassionate, knowledgeable & experienced service & support."
— ALANA T. Bay of plenty, NZ
“Extremely knowledgeable”
“Camille is extremely knowledgeable about all facets of natural health and well-being.
I was impressed by the time she took to understand all of my concerns and the careful thought she put into recommending practical actions, and suggesting appropriate supplements that complimented and worked with my lifestyle, thank you Camille!”
— KIM O. -NELSON, NZ
“Wonderfully different consultative space”
“I've benefited from Camille's careful and well-researched advice on multiple occasions, including eliminating swelling and inflammation in a complicated joint that affected my everyday performance.

Her holistic approach extends beyond the combinations of treatments she knowledgeably suggests; I have found it involves her wholly diverse consideration of an ailment. She chews things over and comes at problems from different angles, she is receptive and absorptive and lets a problem speak from different spaces and across time.

Camille's is a wonderfully different consultative space than a typical 15 min doctor's office!”
— JENNY R. -Portobello, NZ
“Feeling remarkably better”
“Camille was a dream to work with. I came to her with a myriad of seemingly unrelated issues and she worked through each of them in detail to find the root causes.
It is rare to work with a health practitioner who gives such careful attention. From there she provided a holistic and manageable approach to treatment - primarily via simple adjustments to my diet, habits and a few supplements.
Within 2 months I was feeling remarkably better and still do, 6 months later. I recommend her all the time!"
— KATE M. Maine, USA
“Restored my health, and my hope.”
In the short span of a couple of months, Camille has helped me restore my health and my hope. I came to her with a collection of symptoms that no other healthcare practitioner had been able to help with. From the beginning, Camille showed care, dedication and professionalism and above all made me feel heard and understood.
Camille will encourage you to adopt what works for you; I never felt pressured into anything. Having seen many health practitioners in the last few years but very little results coming from them, I could not have been happier and more relieved to find someone as knowledgeable and trustworthy as Camille.
-GIULIA C. Maine, USA
“100% recommend Camille”
I contacted Camille a few months ago as I have been suffering with diagnosed SIBO (small intestine bacteria overgrowth) for many years.
Camille has been working with me to help get my problem under control and I can finally say I think we are nearly there after years of suffering with problems
I would 100% recommend Camille .
CAROL E. -Bay of Plenty, NZ
“Camille always respected my autonomy in any decision-making”
“I have been truly blessed to have been working with Camille as my naturopath over the past three months.
Camille is warm, gentle, caring, knowledgeable and very attentive. She has taken a multi-faceted approach acknowledging and encouraging me to be looking at all aspects of my life - physical, spiritual, mental and emotional.
I have really appreciated how she has offered her expert knowledge but at the same time has always respected my autonomy in any decision-making. I highly recommend her as a health practitioner!”
-KIRSTEN B. -Nelson, NZ
“Thorough and compassionate approach, backed by test results”
“When I first started working with Camille I wanted to take charge of my health, which had taken a back seat.
In a very short time working with Camille, my energy improved as a result of nutritional changes she recommended. This alone was worth its weight in gold.
We then turned our attention to other health challenges and have made positive inroads there as well (at the time of writing I am midway through a programme with her). I really appreciate her thorough and compassionate approach, backed by test results.
I didn’t realise I would appreciate the regular check-ins as much as I did - they helped me stay on track and gave us the opportunity to tweak things as we went.
I can tell that Camille is passionate about supporting her clients’ health and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a complementary health practitioner.
— Kathryn S. Marlborough, NZ
