Judith is a supportive care and integrative oncology specialist working in supportive cancer care and cancer related symptom management. With a background of over 20 years as a palliative and supportive care specialist, she has dedicated the last decade to developments in this field, integrating holistic medical and nursing supportive care with evidence based complementary therapies, exercise and lifestyle changes alongside conventional treatments to care for the whole person. She leads a specialist multidisciplinary team of practitioners and allied health professionals with outpatient clinics in the LivingRoom at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.
Judith’s passion is caring for patients with a history of cancer who could benefit from an integrated and proactive symptom management that provides exceptional support from diagnosis, during and after cancer treatment. Judith consults with patients who are open to finding ways to thrive and live well with cancer and beyond: from diagnosis through to survivorship, and with advanced cancer. She can discuss safe use of herbs, supplements, diet and prescribes medicinal cannabis when appropriate.
