Navigating cancer with expertise and compassion

Telehealth cancer support for women across Australia and around the world.

Cancer can trigger many difficult feelings, including fear, confusion, guilt, or shock. Treatment can leave you feeling sick and exhausted. And recovery can be anxious and lonely. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. MyOncoThrive promotes an empowering, integrative approach to cancer care for women, ensuring you’re supported at every stage of your journey.

We guide you how to:

  • Nourish your body and mind
  • Ease side effects of cancer treatments
  • Develop confidence and self-advocacy skills
  • Nurture emotional resilience and self-care
  • Embrace lifestyle modifications to reduce cancer risk
  • Safely integrate evidence-based complementary medicine with medical care from your oncologist

Hello!

I’m Mun-Yee, a board-certified Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Integrative Oncology Practitioner.

I support women who are
  • Keen to reduce cancer risk
  • Newly diagnosed
  • In active therapy
  • In recovery after cancer therapy
  • In transition to life after cancer
I’ve spent over 25 years involved in cancer care, first as a family member, then as a clinical researcher and, ultimately, as a integrative Chinese Medicine practitioner. I hold numerous qualifications and have completed post-graduate studies in both cancer-specific and complementary medicine at prestigious institutions, including the University of Melbourne, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (USA), MD Anderson Cancer Center (USA), Harvard Medical School and Guangxi TCM University (China). 

I’ve seen the value of western medicine in developing medical or surgical interventions to treat cancer. But I’ve also seen how hard it is to treat the whole person in that model. It’s too easy to fall through the cracks between different medical specialists with no-one looking at your physiological and emotional needs as a whole person.

That’s where I come in. 

Programs to help you thrive

MyOncoThrive offers a range of options depending on your needs. You can subscribe to our toolkits, book an oncology acupuncture session (Brisbane only), attend a webinar or join my 1:1 coaching program for a complete person-centred service throughout your cancer journey.

Integrative, not alternative

I practise integrative medicine, not alternative medicine. I want you to have the best of both worlds as you navigate your own way through cancer. 

That means I’m not here to replace your medical care –integrative oncology is a  patient-centred, evidence-informed field of cancer care that aims to optimise health, quality of life and clinical outcomes across the cancer care continuum and to empower people with cancer to become active participants before, during and beyond cancer treatment. I want it to succeed for you. 

I’m here to work alongside  you and support you in the areas that mainstream medicine too often overlooks, such as the mind-body connection, cancer-fighting diet & nutrition, restorative sleep, use of evidence-informed supplements & herbs, complementary medicines, sexuality & fertility, self-care and overall wellbeing.

What does an integrative oncology practitioner do?

Your cancer doctors and surgeons focus on shrinking or eradicating your tumour. That’s vital work but your cancer journey encompasses far more than that.
 I trust science to target the cancer and, just as importantly – I help you harness the powers of natural medicine to nourish your body and mind.
I’m here to help the whole you – to make your cancer experience less frightening and less lonely by using a whole toolbox of evidence-informed strategies to optimise your cancer care.

Throughout your cancer journey, I work with you to

  • Nurture a confident mindset and develop resilience
  • Reduce major drivers of cancer (e.g. chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, stress)
  • Ease treatment side-effects and to enhance cancer therapies.
  • Cultivate a healthy biosystem in your body and protect healthy organs
  • Help you understand your medications and which supplements you can safely take
  • Reduce stress, anxiety and fatigue and promote restorative sleep
  • Fortify your body for cancer treatment
  • Develop a nutrient-dense diet plan to support you through cancer therapies

Get started

Whether you’re dealing with the shock of your diagnosis, confusion about your treatment, or fear of the future, I’m here to help you improve your quality of life as you go through your cancer journey. 

You don’t have to do this alone. In me, you have a knowledgeable, experienced partner with advanced qualifications in both western and natural medicines. I’ll help you navigate your journey, understand your test results or treatment direction and care for your overall wellbeing both during and after cancer.

Supporting Your Loved One Through Their Cancer Journey

Cancer is stressful, not just for the person receiving the diagnosis, but for those around them too. It’s common for family and friends to feel scared, confused, and overwhelmed. Even if you’re not the one with cancer, your emotions are valid. Cancer can be difficult for everyone.

How to adopt a resilient mindset throughout your cancer journey

Studies find that adopting a resilient mindset can help cancer patients cope better, not just through their cancer journey, but also in recovery.

I offer a structured integrative approach to help bring clarity to your health journey and reduce the overwhelm.
