Holistic Cancer Support
There was a time in my practice where about one third of my clients had cancer. Why such a large group? I was comfortable working with people in very compromising situations, people who wanted to live life to the full, but had a medical condition and sometimes a necessary treatment protocol that was limiting what they wanted from life. Secondly, I had extended my clinical skills to go beyond the physical treatment with herbs and nutritional interventions to harness the power of the mind of my clients.
I was interested only in helping people achieve the fullest experience of life that they could. I was very clear with my clients that whilst I was clearly going to be part of a multi-disciplinary approach to their health, at the first consultation I would be very clear about what I could offer and whether I thought it in their best interest to be on their “team”. Also, I am very comfortable communicating with medical and allied health professionals.
The Holistic Approach
Evaluate your personal situation, based on your medical history, age, gender, weight, dietary habits, sleep and exercise habits, essentially evaluating your current situation with no judgement.
Discuss your current diagnosis and prognosis, past and present treatments and your thoughts on the recommended protocols. Assess any side effects that may respond to herbal medicine.
Assist you in providing strategies and techniques to minimise or reduce stresses in your life.
Employ hypnotherapy [including relaxation and self-hypnosis] to ensure that you are in the best physical, psychological and emotional state as you move through this current phase of your treatment regime. Hypnotherapy can also be used to change physiological parameters.
Adjust your diet and nutritional strategy, possibly adjusting carbohydrate intake, all whilst ensuring a proper intake of good fats, proteins and macronutrients. Ensure that your food is properly assimilated and available to your body to provide optimum health.
Suggest supplements if necessary to support your changing situation.
Ensure that you are getting enough sleep and appropriate exercise and if necessary suggest strategies or provide herbs or supplements to improve your sleep quality and exercise recovery.
Work with the current suite of treatments and practitioners to make sure that we are all on the same page with you and your family.
It is a holistic multi-disciplinary approach, based on my clinical experience and background in biological science, traditional herbal medicine and clinical hypnotherapy. I want to work with you in a way that gets you maximum benefit and results in a timely manner. Managing your health and wellbeing, as well as dealing with the cancer is essential to protect you against future complications.
As your program may run over a several months after your first consultation, I typically schedule follow up sessions 2, 4 or 6 weeks apart, as we adjust the program to suit your unique situation. Herbs and supplements are charged separately.
All the best for your healthy future,
