Integrative Oncology Naturopath
Functional support for people navigating cancer - from diagnosis through recovery and beyond - Online | NZ & US
-
A cancer diagnosis - or even the possibility of one - arrives with an overwhelming amount of information and very little clarity about what you should actually be doing right now.
Most people I work with come to me feeling like something is missing from their care. Not because their oncology team isn't doing their job (they are) but because there are questions that don't fit into a 15-minute appointment. How do you eat well through chemotherapy when nothing tastes right? What do your labs actually mean? What can you do to support your body before or between treatments?
You can expect evidence based answers, prompt communication via my health portal, I am here for you!
-
Integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-informed approach that uses nutrition, mind-body practices, natural products, and lifestyle medicine alongside your conventional treatment.
What that means for you:
A clearer picture of your health, beyond standard reference ranges, looking at what your results actually reveal about your nutritional status, inflammatory load, and how your body is responding
Side effect support. Nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, sleep disruption, cognitive changes - these are addressable, and you don't have to just push through them
Practical nutrition guidance that's realistic for where you are right now, instead of a prescription you can't follow when you're exhausted
Herbal and nutritional medicine reviewed carefully against your medical treatment protocol or recurrence concerns
A plan that adapts as your treatment changes, your labs shift, and your priorities evolve
My clinical focus is breast health and cancer resilience, and I see people navigating all cancer types. From diagnosis, through treatment, in recovery, and in the years beyond.

We start with a free 20-minute Clarity Call. It's a conversation, you tell me where you are, I tell you how I work, and we work out together whether this is the right fit.
If we move forward, you’ll receive an intake form and be invited to share your recent test results - which I will review before our first consultation.
the first session is 60-90 minutes (depending on the consult type). You'll leave with insight and actionable recommendations you can do right away, then receive your phased wellness plan and a short follow-up video chat to go through it together.
If you’ve chosen COMPASS Cancer Care or Beyond Breast Cancer package, care will continue with ongoing support & monitoring, and plan updates as you progress.

NATUROPATHY
Naturopathy in an oncology context means bringing together functional testing, nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle medicine to support your body through cancer treatment and beyond - addressing root causes, managing side effects, and building long-term resilience alongside your conventional care.
Qualified, registered naturopaths have undertaken extensive studies in the sciences; including biochemistry, anatomy, physiology & pathology, as well as training in medical herbalism and nutrition.
-
INVESTIGATIONS
At the very least, your routine lab work will be evaluated from a functional perspective; looking for imbalances and clues to your overall state of health. If appropriate, we may consider functional medical testing, advanced pathology or testing salivary/urinary hormones, functional (stool) testing or DNA profiles to establish underlying imbalances and predispositions. This will help accurately target individual nutritional, herbal and lifestyle modifications.
-
NUTRITION
Strategic dietary changes can profoundly alter disease progression and help bring the body back into balance. With my culinary experience, whether your situation warrants minimal or major changes we’ll make sure the changes are achievable and suit your palate. Some services include custom-made menu plans, or you can check out the menu plans available on the recipes page.
-
HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbal extracts, tinctures and herbal teas can powerfully impact factors driving ill health and provide symptomatic relief. But when not used properly, they can be ineffective or adversely interact with medications. Trained professionals provide high quality bespoke formulations and guidance on safe, effective herbal teas for you.
-
LIFESTYLE PRACTICES
Implementing regular practices such as tramping, exercise, sauna bathing, proper sleep hygiene, breathing exercises, and spending time in nature are all examples of lifestyle modifications that can support your healing journey. You can be sure that recommendations will be targeted, evidence-based and suited to your preferences.
