Hormone Health: The Key To Your Full Circle Breast Cancer Recovery
Thriving Survivors Approach To Hormone Health
At the heart of Dr. Kaycie’s practice is a profound understanding of hormone health. From mood and energy levels to weight and immune system responses, hormones play a critical role in regulating our bodies' many functions.
For breast cancer survivors, maintaining balanced hormones is vital for preventing recurrence, supporting recovery, and achieving overall well-being. Our approach to hormone health helps women reclaim vitality and live healthier, happier, more balanced lives after their treatment

A Message From Dr. Kaycie
My Story
Hi!
I’m Dr. Kaycie, Doctor of Naturopathic Endocrinology, Breast Cancer Survivor, and Founder of The Thriving Survivors.
​
In June 2020, amidst a global pandemic, I found a lump in my left breast. It took until August to get a mammogram, which confirmed the abnormality.
​
Right after my diagnosis, I remember receiving a text from an acquaintance who was a breast cancer survivor, which simply stated: “I am here.” It was such a deep reassurance to know that she understood how I was feeling. On the road to recovery, we must always remember that we are not alone.
I reached out to a Naturopathic Doctor specializing in oncology and an acupuncturist to lead my health care team. While undergoing a lumpectomy, chemo, and radiation, I leaned into my naturopathic training and decades of experience with patients. After exhaustive research on how natural therapies can help to reduce side effects, speed up healing, restore health and wellness, and lower the risk of recurrence I had developed a program that was helping me feel better, faster.
Though the integrative care helped tremendously, by the end of treatment felt like being dropped off in an unfamiliar place. I wondered who’s body this was, and what was next for me as an individual, as a mother, and as a medical professional.
And then, I started The Thriving Survivors - A Support Group for women who want to write a powerful new beginning after Breast Cancer. Our community is supplied by professional expertise in an array of healing modalities. The Thriving Survivors programs are based on research, clinical experience, and personal journeys.
You deserve to heal with comfort, dignity, and peace, and get back to the life you love. The Full Circle Recovery Journey from Breast Cancer begins here.
My Credentials
Naturopathic Doctors must complete standard premedical college courses, plus a 4 to 5 year naturopathic medical degree. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Colorado in 1998. I went on to receive my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in 2003, and completed a two-year residency in Anchorage, Alaska. I established my current clinic, the Golden Naturopathic Clinic LLC in 2006 to provide holistic care to my community.
​
​In addition to standard medical education, we also study the philosophy of treating patients holistically and learn about a variety of natural therapeutics, including nutrition, botanical medicine, the use of natural substances, and hands-on therapies. In order to deepen my understanding of natural medicine, I also attended the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine and received training in craniosacral therapy.
Welcome!
We welcome you to The Thriving Survivors and look forward to learning about you and your journey. Beyond our Support Group, we have so many ways to help women with Breast Cancer. Our Online Course and Personal Care Plans are designed to help you heal fully, faster.
