It's an active area of research, especially for glioblastoma. Early studies show it can be safe with supervision, but benefits aren't yet proven, and it isn't right for everyone. If you're interested, we can look at whether it suits your situation and treatment.

Yes. We use nutrition, movement and sleep strategies to help manage high blood sugar, weight gain, muscle weakness and restless nights while you're on steroids.

Yes. Many people with brain tumors rely on a partner or family member to help manage their care. With your permission, they can join sessions and message me directly.

It depends on your clinical picture, and what we're trying to find out.

But broadly, we might look at your hormone metabolism, nutrient status, inflammatory markers, or gut microbiome composition.

Sometimes it's as simple as blood tests you haven't had run before, or functional testing might include urine, hair, or stool testing you can do from home, no extra appointment required. Testing & Monitoring covers this in detail.

Yes. I work entirely online and see patients across New Zealand and the United States.

Oncologists vary. Many are increasingly familiar with integrative oncology and supportive of patients working with a practitioner who understands both the evidence and the interactions.

Some are neutral and some are skeptical, which is reasonable considering the volume of unsubstantiated claims in this space.

What I can tell you is that I work collaboratively, stay within my scope, and communicate clearly. If your oncologist has concerns, I'm happy to be part of that conversation.

Integrative oncology naturopathy is a specialized clinical focus. It requires detailed knowledge of cancer biology, oncology treatment protocols, drug-nutrient and drug-botanical interactions, and the evidence base specific to cancer care. A general naturopath may be excellent within their scope, but cancer care has specific considerations that require specific training and experience. This is my sole clinical focus.
