Cancer treatment calls for a comprehensive, integrative approach that addresses not only the physical aspects of the disease but also the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of healing. As an Integrative Naturopathic Oncologist, Kyra Roberton’s goal is to provide a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan that supports the body’s natural healing processes while minimizing the impact of cancer therapies on overall well-being.
Kyra Roberton is a Clinical Nutritionist and Integrative Naturopath with specialised training in oncology support. She combines a deep understanding of clinical nutrition with a broad range of naturopathic therapies—including botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, and personalised dietary plans—to complement conventional cancer treatments and improve patient
outcomes.
In collaboration with each patient’s oncology team, she works to minimize the risk of common treatment-related complications and manages side effects such as:
● Constipation
● Digestive disturbances
● Fatigue
● Hormonal imbalances
● Insomnia
● Nausea and vomiting
● Organ dysfunction
● Pain management
● Peripheral neuropathy
● Radiation burns
● Unintentional weight loss
Alongside this physical support, Kyra integrates somatic breathwork and Family Constellations Therapy to address the emotional and psychological aspects of the healing process. These
therapeutic modalities aim to release emotional blockages and resolve systemic imbalances, which may contribute to the body’s stress response and hinder recovery.
To further support the mind-body connection, Kyra utilises Psycho-Neuro-Immunology (PNI) and German New Medicine (GNM) to explore the intricate relationships between mental health, the nervous system, and immune function. By addressing these interconnections, she facilitates a more holistic healing process that aims to optimize both emotional resilience and physical recovery.
Kyra’s clinical philosophy is founded on the “10 C’s of Care”: Caring, Compassion, Competence, Creativity, Communication, Commitment, Consistency, Collaboration, and Consciousness. These principles guide her approach to patient care, ensuring a treatment process that is not only evidence-based but also compassionate, patient-centered, and tailored to meet each individual’s needs. She emphasises the importance of comprehensive diagnostic testing throughout the treatment journey to ensure precision in treatment and monitoring.
While Kyra’s primary focus is on oncology support, her expertise extends to the management of a wide range of chronic conditions, offering integrative solutions for complex health challenges that require a multifaceted approach.
