Personalized Care Rooted in Science & Compassion

Every patient is unique, which means every care plan must be, too. My role is to help you navigate cancer care with clarity, using a metabolic and integrative approach that identifies what’s driving imbalance in your body and how to restore resilience.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, in active treatment, or looking for long-term recovery support, I provide individualized consulting to guide you at every stage of the journey.

What I Offer

Initial Terrain Consultation - A comprehensive review of your health history, current challenges, and goals. We begin with advanced testing to understand your unique biology and identify the patterns influencing your health.

Functional Lab Review & Interpretation - I specialize in analyzing complex labs — from hormones and inflammation markers to mitochondrial and detox pathways — and translating them into actionable insights you can understand and act on.

Personalized Integrative Care Plans - Based on your results, I design tailored recommendations that may include nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle strategies, and integrative therapies that complement your existing medical care.

Ongoing Support & Case Management - Healing takes time. I offer continued guidance to adjust your plan as your needs evolve, ensuring that every step remains aligned with your health goals and current treatment.

Complementary Cancer Care - My work integrates seamlessly with conventional oncology. Whether you are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or advanced therapies such as immunotherapy, I help you build strength, minimize side effects, and support your body’s healing capacity.

Who I Work With

Newly Diagnosed Patients Seeking Clarity - For individuals who have just received a diagnosis and feel overwhelmed, I help you understand your options, uncover the factors contributing to your diagnosis, and create a clear path forward grounded in data and integrative strategy.

Patients in Active Treatment Wanting Integrative Support - Whether you’re undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, immunotherapy, or targeted agents, I work alongside your oncology team to help you minimize side effects,
support treatment effectiveness, and maintain strength during care.

Long-Term Survivors Focused on Recurrence Prevention - For those who are five years or more post-treatment, I provide ongoing support to help you reduce recurrence risk, optimize metabolic health, and sustain long-term resilience.

Complementary Cancer Care

Integrative support that works with your oncology team.

What it is - An approach designed to strengthen your body, reduce treatment-related toxicity, and support your overall terrain—without interfering with standard-of-care treatments.

How it works - I communicate directly with you (and when appropriate, your care team) to ensure all integrative choices are safe, cohesive, and supportive of your oncology plan.
