A clear place to start, and support that grows with you.

You already have enough decisions in front of you. This page is not a menu, it is a path.
​Everyone begins in the same place, with the same foundation, built around you from the very first conversation.

​STEP ONE: THE DISCOVERY CALL
​Every journey starts here. A free conversation, no obligation, just space to talk through where you are, what you need, and whether we are the right fit to work together.

​STEP TWO: THE FOUNDATION
Once we have spoken and agreed to work together, every person begins in the same place. There is no tier to choose, no comparison to make while you are already carrying enough. This is simply where we start. 

You can begin at any point in your cancer journey — at diagnosis, while preparing for or undergoing treatment, during recovery, or beyond. Across five sessions, we will explore your health journey, your treatment pathway and what matters most to you. Together, we will build a personalised plan that works safely alongside your conventional oncology care and evolves as your needs and treatment change.

Drawing on almost 30 years in clinical pharmacy and a decade working within oncology multidisciplinary teams, I will help you understand your treatment and the wider picture around it.

This includes:​​​

• Reviewing your medicines, supplements, herbs and any repurposed or off-label medicines, including their compatibility and timing around chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery.
• Reviewing relevant blood results and clinical markers to identify patterns and areas requiring support.
• Creating an evolving personalised plan that may draw on clinical and functional medicine, nutrition, lifestyle, Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy and nervous-system regulation.
• Making space for emotional, spiritual and meaning-centred support, where these are important to you.

This is not a fixed protocol or a list of everything you could be doing. It is a thoughtful process of identifying what matters now: the minimum effective intervention for you, in this treatment window, without adding avoidable biological noise.

​My intention is to give you clarity, confidence and compassionate support in the present moment, while helping you protect and nurture your longer-term health.

Your Foundation Programme includes:

1 × 90 minute Initial Consultation
2 × 60 minute Follow-Up Consultations
2 × 30 minute Check-In Progress calls

Brief clarification questions between sessions are included. Questions requiring further clinical review, detailed research or interpretation may need a separate focused appointment.

​£695

​Initial questionnaires and a registration form MUST be completed ahead of your first appointment.

​STEP THREE: CONTINUING TOGETHER
The Foundation Programme gives us a shared understanding of your health, your treatment and what matters most to you. For some people, that foundation provides everything they need for the time being. Others value the continuity of staying alongside one another as their treatment, health and life continue to evolve.

You do not need to decide whether you would like ongoing support when you first begin.

There is no fixed curriculum and no expectation that every session will look the same. The focus and rhythm of our work are designed around you. One session may focus on a change in treatment, medicines, supplements, blood results or side-effects. Another may take us more deeply into nervous-system regulation, resilience, presence, meaning or the broader perspective emerging through your experience.

​We continue to hold the horizontal ground you stand on, treatment, surgery, medicines, side-effects and safety, while creating more space to explore the vertical ground you grow from, grounding, growth, presence, meaning and a broader perspective.

My care has involved a truly integrated multidisciplinary team: an integrative medicine doctor overseeing my NCIM mistletoe treatment to help manage chemotherapy side effects; my GP and local practice nurse supervising my first injections and monitoring my general wellbeing; and an oncologist who has remained open and receptive to conversations about integrative care. At the centre of it all, Bobby Sira has been the lynchpin — my touchstone and constant reference point — bringing everything together as an integrative oncology specialist pharmacist and Ayurveda practitioner. 

​Two and a half years ago, with a diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer and a comorbidity of heart failure, I entered a destabilising time in my life. I needed to find some balance and was fortunate to find integrative cancer care on the 'Yes to Life' website, and Bobby Sira in particular.
After a partial colectomy, a liver resection and many rounds of chemo, I reached a short spell in NED. Unfortunately, a recent scan showed tumours in my peritoneum and I needed to go back on chemotherapy. I had been thinking about mistletoe therapy for some time and decided now was the time to act. Bobby guided me in the process. I was delighted that my oncologist was not dismissive of my wishes, he listened, was open and supportive, as he has been with all other complementary therapies we have introduced. Support from my GP was also forthcoming and welcome. My local practice nurse oversaw my first self injection. My integrative medicine doctor monitors my response as we look for the optimal dosage of mistletoe treatment, Iscador Quercus in my case.

I find myself at the centre of a great medical team, respectful of each other's approach and working seamlessly towards the same goal. Surrounding that, I have another community of supportive family and friends.

From a bewildering start, when it was easy to lose my sense of self, I now have agency and autonomy in my treatment. I have moved from exhaustion to having energy, from digestive upset to comfort, and from imbalance to balance. In all, I have a sense of being held, of being content and comfortable within myself. I am pulling myself together with the support and knowledge of those around me, and with the seamless integration of standard and complementary treatments, experiencing the best of all worlds.

WHAT INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY MEANS

Integrative oncology combines conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, with evidence-based complementary therapies, supporting the whole person, body, mind and spirit, throughout the cancer journey.

​It is not an alternative to your oncology care, but a considered layer alongside it, always guided by what is safe for your specific treatment.
