- Oncology Nurse
- Passionate about integrating natural medicine options with conventional treatment safely
As an oncology nurse, Emily has extensive experience with patients going through conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She has completed Post Graduate qualifications in Cancer Nursing through Melbourne University and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
Emily has been a registered nurse since 2005 and went on to work in acute care units in a hospital setting. Working in this setting highlighted the gaps to Emily within this acute care model and propelled her into studying naturopathy with a passion to provide supportive care to cancer patients.
At ReMed, we provide an adjunctive care model strictly only to patients who are working with oncologists and medical teams.
Emily supports patients wanting to use natural supplements on how to avoid negative interactions and reduce side effects of conventional treatment. Patients often find it comforting to see a naturopathic practitioner who has such extensive experience as an oncology nurse.
Having a firm foundation in both the traditional medical model and natural medicine gives Emily a multifaceted understanding of health and healthcare and enables her to combine the best of both traditional and natural healthcare to ensure her clients achieve the best results.
Emily is dedicated to improving health outcomes for people with:
- Lung Cancer
- Bowel Cancer
- Melanoma
“When I first came to see Rebecca about my cystic acne, I was unhappy with my skin and it was effecting my self esteem. I had already tried the pill, prescription creams and antibiotics for 10yrs, none of which made a lasting difference and the antibiotics caused digestives problems. Rebecca identified the cause of the acne and restored digestive health, which has also cleared my skin. I’ve been without acne now for at least 5 months. When I look in the mirror I feel confident and happy with my skin and friends comment on how healthy I look! Thanks Rebecca!” Emily, Newport
“Before I came to see Rebecca I had terrible eczema all over my arms, fingers and sometimes my legs, since childhood. It was embarrassing, particularly as a teenager and into my twenties. People would think I’d fallen over and scarred my arms. Rebecca is very easy to talk to and explains everything clearly, as to how the treatments will help and how long it will take. Since seeing Rebecca the eczema has gone away and the scarring decreased significantly” Chelsea, Eltham
