Navigating your Cancer Diagnosis

Emotional Support During Your Oncology Treatment

Conventional medicine, especially cancer treatments, often focuses on the physical or bodily aspects of care. I believe patients benefit from emotional and spiritual support.

Indeed, maintaining good emotional and mental attitudes can dramatically increase the effectiveness of treatments. Hope is a powerful tool in any effort to obtain good health, especially with a cancer diagnosis.

I am skilled in techniques such as hypnotherapy, energy work, and mindfulness that can build upon and enhance your emotional strengths.

Let me show you simple yet effective ways to prepare for surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Rebuilding Your Health After Cancer Treatment

The period after completion of conventional treatment is crucial to your long term health and well-being.

I will support you by developing a comprehensive plan for a healthy lifestyle that is personalized to your needs.

This comprehensive plan includes nutrition, exercise, mind-body and spiritual support.

Through our healing partnership, you & I will take the necessary steps to reduce inflammation, rebuild your immune system, reduce the risk of co-morbid conditions, and insure that you are aware of future ongoing screening.

I will support your goals, and I will provide expert guidance on your journey to lasting health.
