Katie Deming, MD

I am a Conscious Integrative Oncologist with a virtual practice who is passionate about helping my clients heal the root causes of cancer and chronic disease. I believe that true healing is possible for everyone, regardless of the stage of their disease. My approach to healing considers the myriad roots of disease, including cancer. I believe water is one of the most important components of healing as it is the unifying connector of mind, body, emotion, and spirit. From the physical structure of the water in our body to the quality of the water we consume, to our ability to process and release negative emotions (often metaphorically represented by water), and our spiritual connection to its consciousness, water plays a critical role in the healing process. My mission is to synthesize and simplify these pieces into an accessible protocol that anyone can understand and apply, drawing on the ways medicine was viewed and practiced in ancient times.
