Patient Advocate Service
“I always reverse roles. I consider how I would feel if I were on the opposite end of things. I do what I would want done for me.” Anonymous
Who Is A Cancer Patient Advocate?
The mission of a cancer patient advocate is to empower the one affected by cancer – be they the patient themselves, their loved ones, or their caregiver. The advocate strives to blend their expertise with empathy to help you navigate the complex healthcare system, offer guidance & resources, and a comforting presence during times of uncertainty.
Navigate Your Path With I-SPIE Health’s Patient Advocacy
Do you want to be a professional patient forever? Or, do you wish to become an architect in your own recovery and healing? With proper nurturing and compassionate care that draws from extensive clinical experience and training in integrative oncology, contemplative medicine, nutrition, breathwork, and more; regain your sense of purpose and set yourself up for health independence from the time of diagnosis, through treatment, into survivorship, and beyond.
Importance Of Advocacy In Cancer Care
A cancer diagnosis does not have to put the brakes on your dreams, aspirations, and life! But, navigating this terrain and all that it brings with it can be challenging. While medical intervention focuses on disease management, cancer coaching focuses on bridging the gap that exists in addressing the emotional, mental, and lifestyle factors that also makeup who you are. Clinical coaching is patient-centric and evidence-supported. And, at its core, lies the acknowledgment that the patient knows what’s best for them.

A Personal Message
Management of cancer requires seeing the entire body as a whole – one that incorporates all aspects of one’s being – mind, body, spirit, family, community, environment. It requires the provider to know the person as a whole and work as a team with all who will support the patient as they traverse the cancer journey. By the same token, it requires the individual to accept their diagnosis as a wake-up call, a chance to see that a disease is more than a physical-chemical reaction. And that with the integration of the heart and mind, healing is possible.
This is what the I-SPIE Health model is about. With empathetic support and attentive nurturing that is rooted in clinical and integrative oncology, rediscover your sense of purpose and what matters most to you right now, and pave the way for a new beginning.

What Others Have Said…
Madhavi was wonderful! I wish I had used this service a year ago. I learned more from her in a one-hour Zoom call than I have learned from my oncologist in the past 3 years. She is very caring and to the point. I have hope now.

I am still processing all that we shared yesterday and am so grateful to have had the time to talk with you and even more grateful to have found you! Thank you for listening without judgement and so compassionately voicing your thoughts and extensive knowledge – allopathic/holistic/spiritual. You have given me so much to consider.
