Evidence‑informed support that complements your cancer treatment.
At Integrated Medicine, we offer a range of integrative therapies designed to work alongside your conventional oncology care. These treatments aim to improve quality of life, strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation and support emotional wellbeing. Our whole‑person approach means we consider your physical health, lifestyle and emotional needs, ensuring that every therapy plan is personalised and grounded in evidence.
We emphasise safety and collaboration with your oncology team; all treatments are prescribed and monitored by qualified clinicians and are never intended to replace standard cancer treatments. If you have any questions about suitability or potential interactions, please discuss them with us and your oncologist.
At our clinic, you will not find a simple menu of services. We believe that effective integrative cancer care is built on a foundation of deep personalisation.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" protocol. Instead, each treatment we offer is a potential component of a broader, cohesive strategy designed specifically for you.
Following a detailed consultation, Dr. Saskia selects and combines therapies based on your specific cancer type, your current conventional treatment regimen, your unique biochemistry, and your personal health goals.
The focus is always on safe, synergistic integration with your primary oncology care, ensuring a truly holistic and supportive approach.
Mistletoe therapy is a complementary treatment used in integrative oncology to support people
undergoing conventional cancer care. It is typically administered as part of a personalised plan
and selected based on your diagnosis, treatment stage, symptoms and overall health.
IV therapies deliver vitamins, antioxidants and other therapeutic compounds directly into the bloodstream.
This approach can support nutrient delivery and hydration, immune function, detoxification pathways and recovery,
depending on the infusion selected and your clinical situation.
Medicinal mushrooms are natural agents used in integrative care to support immune resilience and overall wellbeing.
They contain bioactive compounds that are studied for immune modulation and supportive properties in cancer care.
Any recommendation should be individualised to your treatment plan, medications and tolerability.
Homeopathic care is individualised and non-invasive. It can be used as a complementary approach to help manage symptoms,
reduce treatment side-effects and support emotional wellbeing. Homeopathy is not a cure for cancer and is intended to
complement conventional care.
Mind–body therapies such as Ericksonian hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) can support stress regulation,
anxiety reduction, coping and resilience. This fits our whole-person philosophy—supporting emotional health alongside physical care.
Nutritional therapy provides personalised dietary guidance to support energy, optimise nutrient status and promote a balanced
inflammatory response during treatment and recovery. Recommendations are tailored to your symptoms, preferences and treatment plan,
with careful consideration of supplement use and potential interactions.
Depending on your needs, your plan may also include or signpost to additional supportive modalities such as ozone therapy,
acupuncture, counselling, or lifestyle coaching. These options can be discussed during consultation to ensure they are appropriate,
coordinated and safe alongside your oncology care.
If you are receiving active treatment, please consult your oncology team before starting any complementary therapy.

Dr. Saskia conducts an in-depth consultation to understand your unique situation and design a personalised integrative plan.
This collection of therapies forms a toolkit. The true therapeutic value comes from how these tools are selected, combined, and sequenced. During your initial consultation, Dr. Saskia conducts an in-depth analysis of your case to build a unique treatment plan.
This is not just a list of interventions, but a synergistic strategy where each element is chosen to support the others and, most importantly, to support you as a whole person. Your plan is a dynamic, evolving roadmap that we adjust with you as your journey progresses.
Your safety is our absolute priority. As a Consultant in General Internal Medicine, Dr. Saskia has a deep understanding of conventional oncology. Every therapy we recommend is rigorously assessed to ensure it is safe to use with your specific chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy regimen.
We focus on avoiding any negative interactions and enhancing the effectiveness of your primary treatment. We believe in collaborative care and are always happy to communicate and work alongside your NHS or private oncology team to ensure you receive seamless and truly integrated support.
Your safety is paramount. We work collaboratively with your entire healthcare team to ensure truly integrated care.
Holistic healthcare is an approach that treats the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just focusing on specific symptoms or illnesses. It often combines conventional medical treatments with complementary therapies.
The best way to determine the most suitable service for your healthcare needs is to book a consultation with one of our healthcare professionals. They will assess your condition and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
While Integrated Cancer Care is primarily designed for cancer patients, the holistic approach can also benefit individuals dealing with other chronic conditions or those seeking to improve their overall well-being.
Mistletoe Therapy is generally well-tolerated, but like any treatment, it may have potential side effects. These can include mild irritation at the injection site. It's important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
The frequency of IV Infusions varies depending on your specific health needs and the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare provider.
