Elizabeth Sherwood

RN MS ANP-C

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.

Joan Rogers Jackson

RN MS, CSN

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.

Alison Childs

RN

As a Registered Nurse for 27 years, I have supported patients and their families in a variety of settings, from the hospital to home care and everywhere in between, with a compassionate, spiritual, holistic, and patient-centered approach throughout the trajectory of their cancer treatment. Certified in both Palliative and Hospice levels of care, I have assisted patients and their families in navigating standard-of-care treatments, as well as alternative choices from diagnosis to no evidence of disease.  

My experience as an Oncology Nurse navigator has allowed me to assist patients through many different treatment options, including the use of supplements, repurposed medications, nutritional options, and lifestyle changes to optimize the possibility of a positive outcome.

In addition to my nursing qualifications, I am a Reiki Master- Teacher, which provides a touch of spirituality to all my patient interactions

 

Betty Lee

RN

As a registered nurse with over 35 years of experience, I’ve personally navigated the intricate journey of cancer, providing me a profound understanding of its complexities. My expertise spans researching and applying both allopathic and holistic cancer treatments. My foundational training includes research development for major corporations and the government. Following that, I enriched my skill set with vibrational medicines, energy healing, and western herbs, leading to my nursing degree. Recently, I embraced a 4-year Core Energetic Therapy program and am progressing with my master’s in nursing education. I merge research, somatic awareness, and intuitive healing to guide patients towards informed health decisions and enhanced wellness.

Holly Rochford

RN

As a registered nurse for almost 30 years and now as a Terrain Advocate, I help patients navigate the confusion that can come with a cancer diagnosis. 

After my own cancer journey, I quickly realized there is more to treatment and recovery than what traditional medicine has to offer, so I began researching many types of complementary therapies shown to improve outcomes.  My goal is to support, educate and empower patients who are using the metabolic approach to cancer and many other integrative modalities, including repurposed medications, supplements, therapeutic carbohydrate restriction, medical cannabis, and various practices for stress reduction.  

With training in both conventional and alternative healing, I bring both knowledge and compassion to bridge the gap between different approaches while honoring the unique qualities of each individual I work with.

 

Madhavi Parikh

PA-C

As a Physician Associate/Assistant (PA), I have dedicated over 20+ years to caring for and aiding the recovery of cancer patients, an illness that often dominates and defines their lives. My practice of medicine and approach to cancer coaching are deeply intertwined with the experiences of my patients, as well as my own journey through physical illness, emotional trauma, and financial insecurity.

My objective as your cancer coach and health advocate is to help tailor a plan that directly addresses your needs, and to educate and empower you and your loved ones throughout the healing process – from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship and beyond.

Holding additional certifications in Integrative & Contemplative Medicine, and trained in medical fasting, holistic nutrition, breathwork, and mindfulness & self-compassion practices, I am equipped to guide you in tapping into your innate healing potential, finding peace and healing while you or a loved one is navigating the journey of “CANCERING.”
