What is integrative oncology
Integrative oncology is an interdisciplinary, multifaceted approach, incorporating evidence-based complementary therapies with conventional cancer treatments to help patients improve their quality of life and manage side effects.
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
FINDING A TREATMENT PATH THAT WORKS FOR YOU
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and the sheer number of treatment options confusing.
As an Integrative medicine doctor, I can help you understand your options, remove some of the confusion and uncertainty and help build a plan to support you mentally and physically throughout your treatment
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
WORKING WITH AN INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE DOCTOR
I am a licensed Medical Doctor and physician with 25 years of experience. For the last 10 years, I have explored the benefits of incorporating complementary therapies alongside traditional western medicine to improve the wellbeing of my patients.
What I have seen through the use of complementary therapies is the paradox that even without a cure, suffering can be relieved.
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
redefining wellness
Often the first step in our healing journey is the acceptance of where we are. Together we can redefine what wellness looks like to you and create a plan to help you regain a sense of wellness.
HOW INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE CAN HELP
Integrative medicine can be used to treat a wide range of conditions and is particularly effective in addressing conditions where environmental and lifestyle factors play a large part.
Because integrative medicine treats the whole person, integrating evidence-based mind and body practices alongside traditional treatments, nothing is left out.
It is an empowering process where you get to engage in your own healing journey.

HOW WE HELP
INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES
I offer a range of evidence-based integrative approaches alongside traditional medicine. Since each case is unique your plan will be tailored to you and I will discuss the most appropriate treatment plan with you.
You can explore some of the therapies I employ below:
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
MIND-BODY SUPPORT
Mind-body encompasses many different ways of supporting the healing journey both physically and mentally.
I focus on gentle movement through Tai Chi and Qigong, restoring and optimizing proper sleep, meditation and breathwork.
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
nutrition
What you eat matters. Simple changes to your day to day food choices can have a huge impact on your health and your ability to respond to stress.
I can work with you to make sure you get the nutrition your body needs to heal.
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
acupuncture
Acupuncture is supported by a wealth of research to provide relief for a wide range of conditions like chemo-therapy associated nausea or fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, dental pain and chronic stress.
I offer auricular (ear) acupuncture and am happy to talk with you about finding local licensed acupuncturists who can offer more extensive protocols.
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
herbal medicine
The plant world has some potent medicines but finding high quality, evidence-based remedies can be hard.
I offer curated recommendations from trusted 'gold-standard' suppliers ensuring they are appropriate to be taken alongside any existing medication you may be taking.
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
Council
Council is a practice of deep listening and authentic speaking that has parallels in wisdom-traditions all over the world.
Integrative Medicine seeks to acknowledge and care for the whole person, including each person's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual self as well as their health in relation to others, to community and to the world.
I find Council to be an essential tool in the practice of integrative medicine.
