Naturopath Specialising in Cancer Care

  • Zoë by Renee is a Melbourne-based naturopathic clinic specialising in cancer care and integrative oncology, providing personalised, evidence-informed support for individuals navigating cancer alongside conventional treatment.

    Whether you are newly diagnosed, undergoing active treatment, in remission, or supporting long-term recovery, my role is to work alongside your medical team to optimise your resilience, reduce treatment burden, and strengthen your body’s capacity to heal.

    Consultations are available in-clinic in Melbourne and via telehealth Australia-wide.

  • A naturopath specialising in cancer focuses on the whole person, not just the tumour.
    My work integrates functional medicine, nutritional science, herbal medicine, lifestyle therapy and advanced testing to support:

    • Treatment tolerance & side-effect management

    • Immune resilience

    • Inflammation & oxidative stress control

    • Energy, mood & quality of life

    • Gut health & microbiome stability

    • Nutrient status optimisation

    • Metabolic & mitochondrial support

    This approach is known as integrative oncology, where natural medicine works in synergy with conventional oncology.

  • Every cancer journey is different. There is no one-size-fits-all protocol.

    Your program may include:

    • Personalised nutrition therapy to support metabolic balance, inflammation control & cellular health

    • Herbal & nutritional medicine selected specifically for your cancer type, treatment stage & biochemistry

    • Targeted supplementation to support immunity, detoxification & mitochondrial function

    • Advanced functional testing (including genetics, nutrient status, gut health, organic acids & tumour-related markers where appropriate). I also specialise in RGCC liquid biopsy analysis functional testing.

    • Lifestyle & mind-body strategies to support nervous system regulation, sleep & emotional resilience

    • Ongoing treatment review & adaptation as your body and medical treatment evolve

    All recommendations are developed with full consideration of your current medical care and in communication with your healthcare team where appropriate.

  • Integrative oncology is a supportive partnership to conventional care.

    My role is to promote longevity, help your body respond more favourably to treatment where needed, recover more effectively, and maintain the strongest possible internal environment for healing.

    Many of my clients come to me for support during:

    • Initial Diagnosis

    • Chemotherapy

    • Radiation therapy

    • Immunotherapy

    • Surgery & recovery

    • Remission & long-term survivorship

  • Zoë by Renee is located in Melbourne, Victoria, with consultations available both in-clinic within Reclaim Health, and via telehealth for clients across Australia.

    If you are searching for a naturopath specialising in cancer care in Melbourne, you are in the right place.

  • What makes you a cancer care specialist naturopath?

    My clinical focus is integrative oncology and complex chronic disease. I undertake ongoing specialised training in cancer biology, functional testing, metabolic therapy, supportive oncology care, and I have visited overseas workshops hosted by Blood Cancer United and MD Anderson Cancer Centre, to enhance my learning further. I work exclusively with personalised, evidence-informed protocols. I am a member with ONCanp (Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians).

    Can naturopathic cancer care work with conventional treatment?

    Yes and it should. Integrative oncology is designed to complement your oncology treatment if that is how you decide you want to support your cancer diagnosis.

    Do you support clients in remission?

    Absolutely. Remission support is one of the most important phases for rebuilding resilience, preventing recurrence and restoring long-term vitality.

    Is it safe to use natural treatments alongside conventional care?

    Yes, I take into consideration every conventional treatment provided, and assess this against every natural therapy personalised to you to ensure there are no contraindications using the gold standard subscription TRC Natural Medicine Database.

    What does the initial consultation look like?

    Your initial consultation runs for 90 minutes and is a deep, comprehensive exploration of your health journey, from birth through to where you are today.

    During this session, I take the time to understand the full picture of your health, not just your current symptoms. We explore your medical history, family history, previous diagnoses, treatments, medications, lifestyle factors, emotional wellbeing, stress patterns, nutrition, sleep, environment, and the events or changes that may have shaped your health over time.

    This allows me to identify key patterns, drivers and imbalances that may be contributing to your current health concerns, including how your body is responding to illness, treatment, and daily life.

    By the end of the consultation, you will feel heard, understood and supported, with a clear sense of direction. From here, I design a personalised, evidence-informed treatment plan tailored specifically to your body, your health goals, and your stage of life or healing journey.
