When we think about integrative cancer survivorship, we almost unilaterally focus on the “things” we do, such as dietary modification, exercise, sleep optimisation, herbal medicines and much else besides. All of these more commonly utilised pillars of cancer survivorship are essential. But in and of themselves they are not enough. We need to put equal emphasis not just on the “things” we do, but on the “person” actually doing them. How can the body mobilise its fullest and most profound healing pathways when the truest nature of any given individual is poorly understood; what gives their life purpose, passion and meaning, what fills their life with awe and wonder and ultimately how they engineer a life that is so deeply congruent with their deepest values and beliefs that healing becomes not something we do, but something we become.
