TANYA MILES - INTEGRATIVE NATUROPATH
Care for complex chronic illness, and support through cancer.
I work with people navigating complex, layered conditions: autoimmunity, hormones, fertility, fatigue, mould and stealth infection, and cancer.
My work is on the internal environment underneath, the conditions health is built on, alongside your medical team rather than in place of it.
MY APPROACH
A diagnosis is a name. The useful next question is what the body needs to heal.
Medicine asks: what is this disease, and how do we treat it?
It identifies the illness, names it and treats it directly with surgery, medication or other treatment, and it answers that question brilliantly. If I broke a bone, needed surgery or was diagnosed with cancer, I would want that care, and I refer to it constantly.
Terrain medicine asks: what does the body need to heal?
Chronic illness rarely appears overnight. It builds over years, as infection, toxins, stress, poor sleep and nutrient depletion change the tissue environment until it favours defence over repair. Ten people meet the same virus and two become unwell. The difference is usually the terrain.
My work sits in that second question, and the two work together. I look at the ground your body is working from, find what is competing for its resources, and rebuild it into one that supports healing, alongside your medical team.
ABOUT TANYA
I came to oncology through complex chronic illness.
My work began with people living with autoimmune conditions, complex hormonal disruption, and the patients still looking for answers after standard testing. People who have seen several specialists, tried a great deal, and still have no explanation.
Working with them changed how I understand illness. It rarely arrives at random. It tends to emerge from a disturbed terrain: a body carrying a load it cannot clear, held in survival physiology. That is not a claim that everything is reversible. It is a claim that the ground underneath is usually modifiable, and often unexamined.
In cancer care I support the person through treatment and recovery. The treatment itself belongs entirely to their oncology team. I provide naturopathic support alongside Dr Carol Haddad, integrative oncologist and founder of Integrative Cancer Care Australia, whose approach taught me how to support people safely through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy: easing the daily burden of treatment, caring for the tissues under strain, and rebuilding strength afterwards.
Before establishing Integrative Naturopathy I was Head Naturopath at Gaia Retreat & Spa, leading programs in detoxification, hormone balance and lifestyle medicine. I continue advanced study in Endobiogeny, functional genomics and terrain-based approaches to complex illness, and I teach for Enki Apothecary, a botanical medicine company working in spagyric triple extraction on its biodynamic farm.
All consultations are online and available worldwide.
FRAMEWORK
Think of a radio. There is a signal, a receiver, and the interference between them. The signal never stopped. The receiver has lost its tuning.
THE SIGNAL
The vital force in all of us: the blueprint you were born with, and the fullest expression of it available to you. Older medicine called it vis medicatrix naturae, the healing power of nature.
Which is why the work runs in that order.
Cleanse the vessel.
Restore the signal.
Embody your design.
THE RECEIVER
Your cells and your endocrine system, reading conditions and translating them into physiology. This is the part that has to be in tune, and the part that can be worked with.
THE INTERFERANCE
Everything competing for attention and resources. With enough static, what comes through is garbled, even though the music never stopped playing.
Most of my work is not adding something you lack. It is finding what is competing for your body's attention and taking it out of the way, so the capacity you already have can go to repair instead of defence. Forcing an outcome in a body that lacks the capacity to deliver it is how people end up with forty supplements and no improvement.
Signal and noise is a working model, a way of organising a complex picture so the order of the work becomes clear. I use it as a framework rather than a mechanism.
WHERE THE INTERFERENCE COMES FROM
Biological
Chronic low-grade infection, an imbalanced microbiome, biotoxins.
Chemical
Environmental exposures, and the waste products of your own metabolism.
Psychological
Unresolved stress, grief and fear, held physiologically rather than only felt.
Ancestral
Inherited capacity and the epigenetic patterns carried down a family line.
HOW THE ORDER RUNS
Order matters more than intensity.
Most treatment failure is not the wrong treatment. It is the right thing given too early, to a body that did not yet have the capacity.
01
Stabilise
Establish the conditions for healing. Regulate the nervous system, restore sleep, digestion and nourishment, and open the routes of elimination before anything is mobilised.
02
Restore
Address what is out of balance: the infection, the exposure, the dysbiosis, the nutrient depletion, the stressor. You cannot remove what you have not identified.
03
Rebuild
Build reserve, so the next disturbance costs less. Muscle, aerobic capacity, mineral status, sleep and stress tolerance, judged over seasons rather than weeks.
WHERE I WORK
One way of working, many presentations.
Twelve pathways in The Deep Reset, one way of working underneath all of them. What changes is the sequence, and which layer we start with. Most people arrive with two or three of these at once, which is why the work starts with the ground rather than the label.
Gut Microbiome
The ground the other pathways rest on: capacity, the barrier, and the population.
Perimenopause
A whole-system recalibration, not one falling hormone: sleep, mood, bone and metabolic health.
Biotoxin & mould illness
Mould and CIRS-type presentations, where sequencing decides everything.
Autoimmune conditions
Immune reactivity read through the nervous system, gut ecology and total load.
PCOS
The metabolic root underneath the cycle, skin and weight picture.
Lyme & coinfections
Persistent, stealth infection, where the terrain decides who stays unwell.
Complex hormones
Adrenal and reproductive signalling, read as one connected language.
Endometriosis
Inflammation, oestrogen recirculation and gut ecology worked as one picture.
Chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia
ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, paced by what the body can recover from.
Hypothyroidism & Hashimoto's
Conversion, minerals and immune tolerance, beyond TSH alone..
Fertility & preconception
Nourishment, elimination and regulation in the months that set the ground.
Skin microbiome
HELD SEPERATELY
Cancer support is its own
pathway.
Acne, rosacea and eczema, read through inflammation and the barrier.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Choose the depth that fits you.
START HERE
Initial consultation
90 minutes · online, worldwide
A comprehensive review of your history, diagnosis, treatment and terrain. The picture is mapped, and any testing is assessed and ordered.
EXISTING CLIENTS
Follow-up
45 minutes
Reviewing progress and refining the plan as your terrain shifts, through treatment and recovery.
THE DEEPEST SUPPORT
The Deep Reset
Twelve weeks · one consultation a week
The full terrain-restoration pathway across three phases, with material for your pathway and a companion library of education. Register your interest and I will call you back.
Supportive care during cancer treatment follows a separate pathway, and still begins with an initial consultation.
All care is delivered alongside, never in place of, your medical treatment. Functional testing, supplements and herbal medicines are additional and billed separately.
