Services
Whole-person, evidence-based care, by secure video or in person at the Somerset West practice.
Cancer care
Evidence-based lifestyle guidance for the parts of cancer care that fall outside the oncology consulting room. Nutrition, movement, mental health, and integrative support, all tailored to where you are in your treatment journey.
Movement should be prescribed alongside chemotherapy and radiation, not squeezed in when you feel up to it. Working with a biokineticist, we prescribe safe, supervised exercise matched to where you are in treatment, monitor your muscle and condition, and adjust as you go.
Treatment does not end when the last session does. I stay with you through survivorship, and I help coordinate the practical side while you are in it, making sure bloods are done, follow-ups happen, and nothing falls through the cracks between you and your oncology team.
At the Somerset West practice I offer red-light therapy using a Metwave panel. It is used to help with post-mastectomy pain, the nerve pain some women experience after surgery, and it may also help with the fatigue and low energy that often come with chemotherapy.
Personalised health for everyone
A DNA test lets us stop guessing. From your genetic results I can tell you what your body specifically needs and prescribe supplements made for you. Not a random shelf of pills, but a precise, personalised plan. For cancer survivors it supports the survivorship journey; for anyone else, it is a clear path to personalised, preventative health and healthy ageing.
So much of living well happens in the space between medical appointments: the daily choices, the setbacks, the motivation to keep going. Coaching is there for that space: helping you set realistic goals, stay accountable, and move forward with a plan you can actually live with.
Too often, side effects are only treated once they have become a problem. I would rather get ahead of them. There are many moments in a health journey where a small, proactive step now prevents a bigger struggle later. That is the work: anticipating, not just reacting.
Real medical consultations delivered via secure video and regulated under HPCSA Booklet 10, the same standards as in-person care. Available anywhere in South Africa, alongside in-person consultations at the Somerset West practice.
