Integrative Oncology Excellence: Transforming Cancer Care Through Education, Empowerment & Implementation
"In the journey through cancer, integrative medicine isn't just about treating symptoms—it's about awakening the body's innate wisdom to heal, nurturing hope, and transforming challenges into stepping stones for growth."
With 17 years of experience in integrative oncology at Rush MD Anderson, I offer evidence-based workshops that empower patients, train acupuncturists, and support healthcare organizations. My programs blend practical self-care tools, clinical training, and implementation strategies to make cancer care more compassionate, comprehensive, and effective—where integrative practices enhance outcomes and transform the healing journey.
