“Choosing integrative medicine has been my strategy for health since facing a diagnosis for advanced breast cancer in December 2013. This included the Chinese herbal medicine and naturopathic support from Hai Shan [now The Healing Order] from the start, for which I feel very grateful.

I wish that all people who face a serious diagnosis could have the kind of support that I received at Hai Shan. The personalized care provided by Dr. Fruehauf and Dr. Metro was key to weathering an intense year of western oncology treatments in 2014, and absolutely essential for my return to health afterwards.

The path to wellness through an illness is very personal. Hai Shan recognises and supports the healing that happens on many levels, starting with the welcoming forest of incense cedars when you arrive, to providing accupunture and the individualized herbal formulas to take home when you leave.

They gave me a great gift by helping me hold the vision of myself as well, while also giving me the tools needed to get there.”
