I am a registered nurse for over 30 years. I am an experienced integrative oncology nurse and cancer coach. I have specialized training and experience in the use of medical cannabis, and thorough knowledge of the safe use of supplements and off-label medications in the oncology setting. My passion is helping people with cancer become empowered to take control of their health and treatment, to achieve well-being and the best possible health outcomes.
As an experienced and compassionate nurse with over 35 years of experience, I specialize in Integrative Oncology care. I am well-versed in conventional, alternative and integrative therapies and enjoy a special focus on the benefits of nutritional choices, supplements and repurposed medications.. I also have advanced knowledge in the use of medicinal cannabis for both symptom management, as well as integrative care protocols for those dealing with cancer. My passion is helping those dealing with cancer to find the information and support they need, to inform their decisions and advocate for themselves, as they move toward greater well-being and ideally optimized health outcomes.
The diagnosis of cancer is a pivotal time for patients and their families to assess their wellbeing and make informed treatment decisions. I am an advanced practice RN with over 42 years of clinical nursing experience. Throughout my nursing career, I have been honored to work with children, adolescents, adults and multigenerational families as they navigated the intense struggles and wonderful successes of life threatening health challenges, especially related to the diagnoses of cancer. I specialize in a patient centered, integrative, evidence informed approach to cancer care, including information about nutrition, supplements, off-label medications, lifestyle, conventional and alternative treatment options. I am passionate about meeting with patients and their loved ones to provide a knowledgeable, supportive, compassionate, and hopeful perspective.
We are ready to answer any and all questions and we’ll do our best to help.
Joani did an amazing join and was a huge support!
Had a wonderful conversation with Kate Hansen. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. She understood where I was coming from and made it simple with great suggestions. Kate followed up with a good synopsis of what we discussed. Greatly appreciated the opportunity to talk with her and am believing for a good outcome.
Joani was wonderful! Thorough, concise, professional, warm and personable, and informative!! Hoping to continue our conversation with her , as she genuinely seems to care for us and it is obvious she revels in her job of helping others heal.
My consultation with Joani was short of a MIRACLE, she just has been a GOD SEND and I’m so VERY VERY GRATEFUL that I have her as a resource and will continue to use her WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE as I start on this NEW JOURNEY TO HEAL
The nurse was wonderful. Great listener and very helpful. I am hoping to stay in touch with her as I move forward with the CBD journey.
The nurse was good. She answered many questions, communicated back and forth a couple of times and sent out the conversation we had with written protocol. I am sharing you guys with some friends! Thanks for being there for people and helping us.
Joan was excellent!… full of knowledge, she gave us information that made it easier and move us ahead on this road. She’s very professional and caring. IF 5 Stars – she gets 5!
Liz was absolutely phenomenal. She provided me with some great insights and because I was in Mexico at the time, suggested items that I could purchase there that were more expensive here in Canada or not easily accessible. I returned to Canada last week. She was worth every penny.
I have had a great experience. The video conference was very helpful and she continues to respond and answer my questions via email. Highly recommend.
Liz was AMAZING!! We have talked to so many people on this journey and she was the MOST informative and gave us the most hope. She had patience with our questions. Her empathy and compassion shinned through. A true professional. She was a gift to us and we hope to continue to consult with her along the way.
Ms Elizabeth seems like a very kind and professional lady. I needed that. She followed up her Zoom call with me quicker I did with her. She is patient and thorough.
Nurse Kate was so helpful and kind, very knowledgeable… I’m really thankful for her help!
My mom and I had a zoom call with Elizabeth. She was very knowledgeable and kind and gave us a lot of really good information. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to any of your clients. She has answered questions via email in a timely manner. This has been a really good experience.
I can’t say enough good things about Liz. She was very helpful and got me on the road with meds, vitamins and supplements. I appreciate her advice.
Over the last two years Liz has coached me through recurrences, and how to talk to my oncologists with the appropriate vocabulary and expectations to get as close to my goals as possible. Liz helped me understand the genetic pieces of my cancer as well as the side effects and how to mitigate them while undergoing various therapies. I just can’t say enough about how valuable her cutting edge input has been. Recently she told me about a new blood test that indicates recurrences earlier than scans do. Three years later and I’m still here walking 4-6 miles a day and working more than full time. Thank you, thank you, thank you Liz, and bless you and yours.
I found Liz to be extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, resourceful, kind, friendly, compassionate, and interested. I so appreciate and trust the knowledge base that Liz draws her information from as she has interacted and spoken with many cancer survivors, especially breast cancer women. My comfort level has also been elevated speaking to Liz, as I know that Liz has had a plethora of consultations with people who, like myself, have run into difficult situations and it is of paramount importance to me to be able to sometimes speak with an individual who is positive, calm and so nice to speak with.
