Integrative cancer care: clear, coordinated, supportive

Integrative cancer care combines conventional oncology with evidence-informed complementary options to support your wellbeing, comfort, and resilience. It focuses on helping you navigate treatment with more stability—physically, emotionally, and practically.

The aim is not to replace oncology care, but to support you alongside it through a personalised, safety-checked plan.

What it is (and what it isn’t)

What it is

  • A clinician-led approach that considers your body, mind, and day-to-day life—not only the diagnosis.
  • Support alongside chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy.
  • Personalised recommendations based on your symptoms, treatment stage, medical history, and priorities.
  • Practical guidance on options, evidence, and safety—so decisions feel clearer and more grounded.

What it isn’t

  • Not a replacement for oncology care or urgent medical assessment.
  • Not a promise to “treat” or “cure” cancer with complementary therapies.
  • Not a one-size-fits-all protocol—your plan evolves as treatment and symptoms change.

If you’re unsure what is appropriate for your situation, begin with a consultation so we can review your treatment plan, symptoms, medications and supplements, and safety considerations.

What we can support during your cancer journey

The focus is whole-person support: improving comfort, function, and resilience during and after treatment. Your plan is built around your treatment stage and your most important day-to-day priorities.

Common symptoms and side effects

  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Nausea, appetite changes, weight changes
  • Sleep problems
  • Pain and discomfort
  • Peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling)
  • Digestive symptoms and gut tolerance

Wellbeing and function

  • Stress, anxiety, low mood, adjustment
  • Confidence, coping skills, decision support
  • Nutrition, hydration, and recovery support
  • Prehabilitation and post-treatment recovery
  • Strength, activity pacing, and daily function

What matters most

We prioritise what will make the biggest difference to your quality of life right now, then build from there. When treatment changes, your integrative plan should change with it.

How we work

Integrative cancer care works best when it is personalised, coordinated, and safety-checked. Here is the practical process.

  1. 1) Understand your situation

    We review your diagnosis context, current oncology plan, symptoms, medications and supplements, and your priorities. If you have oncology letters or recent results, bring them.

  2. 2) Build a personalised plan

    Your plan is modular. It may include nutrition guidance, mind-body support, and—where appropriate—complementary therapies that fit your treatment stage and safety profile.

  3. 3) Coordinate with your oncology team (with consent)

    With your permission, we can align timing and safety considerations with your oncology regimen and share relevant updates that support joined-up care.

  4. 4) Review, monitor, adjust

    Follow-ups are used to track your symptoms, tolerability, and treatment changes—then refine the plan as your needs evolve.

Not sure where to start?

A good first step is a consultation focused on your current treatment, symptoms, and what you want to improve first. From there, we can build a realistic, safety-checked plan that fits your oncology timeline.

Complementary therapies we may include (always personalised)

Some patients explore complementary therapies as part of supportive care. Any option should match your clinical context, goals, and safety profile.

Safety first: governance, consent, and coordination

Safety and clarity matter in integrative cancer care. Supportive options should be assessed for interactions, contraindications, timing considerations, and your overall health context.

Safety checks we prioritise

  • Medication and supplement review (interaction screening)
  • Timing considerations around treatment cycles and procedures
  • Allergy history and previous reactions
  • Red-flag symptoms that need urgent medical assessment
  • Clear informed consent before any intervention

Safety, Governance & Consent →

Coordination with your team

Integrative care is most helpful when it reduces confusion and supports joined-up decisions. With your consent, we can align recommendations with your oncology plan.

Common questions

Can integrative cancer care replace my oncology treatment?

No. Integrative cancer care is intended to support you alongside conventional treatment, not replace it.

Do you communicate with my oncologist?

With your consent, coordination is possible so your care plan remains aligned and safety-checked.

Is everything “natural” automatically safe during cancer treatment?

Not always. Supplements and therapies can have interactions or timing issues. A clinician-led review helps reduce risk and confusion.

What happens in the first consultation?

We review your current situation, priorities, medications and supplements, and create a practical plan. See what to expect →
