Integrative Cancer Care on Salt Spring Island

Comprehensive support alongside conventional treatment.

Integrative cancer care works alongside conventional oncology to support your body through treatment, reduce side effects, and optimize quality of life. My role isn't to replace your oncologist — it's to fill the gaps that conventional care often leaves open.

A cancer diagnosis changes everything. Suddenly you're navigating a medical system built for urgency, and the things that matter most to how you feel day-to-day — nutrition, energy, sleep, emotional resilience, immune function — often fall through the cracks. That's where integrative cancer care comes in.

I work with patients at every stage: newly diagnosed, actively in treatment, and in post-treatment recovery. During chemotherapy or radiation, I focus on reducing side effects like nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, and immune suppression using evidence-based natural therapies that are safe alongside conventional protocols. Every recommendation I make is cross-referenced with your oncology treatment to avoid interactions.

Beyond managing side effects, I focus on the foundations that support your body's ability to heal — optimizing nutrition, restoring depleted nutrients through IV therapy, supporting detoxification pathways, and addressing the emotional toll that a cancer journey takes. This isn't about false promises. It's about giving your body the best possible conditions to respond to treatment and recover.
