Meet Dr Elizabeth Hart

With nearly two decades of experience in the breast cancer field, Dr Hart has worked across South Africa, the UK, New Zealand, and Canada. She has served on surgical teams, run health businesses, and most importantly, walked closely with patients through some of the most challenging seasons of their lives.

She holds qualifications in:

  • Medicine (M.B.Ch.B – University of Stellenbosch)
  • Health Coaching (Functional Medicine Coaching Academy)
  • National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)

Dr Hart is a mother of two and has a strong family history of both breast and prostate cancer. While she has not experienced cancer herself, her personal connection and professional dedication have given her deep insight into the complex emotional, physical, and psychological challenges faced by those affected by the disease.

Her passion lies in bridging the gap between clinical treatment and everyday wellbeing – combining science with empathy to offer holistic, practical support that empowers people to reclaim their health and their lives.

 

Our Philosophy

We recognise the person, not just the patient. We honour your journey, not just your diagnosis. And we want you to see yourself as a survivor – resilient, empowered, and supported. You’re not alone. At Hartreach, we’re here to walk this journey with you.

Why Hartreach?

Most people facing cancer are supported by excellent oncology teams – but the reality is, these teams often don’t have the time or capacity to address every aspect of a patient’s life. Hartreach fills the gap by focusing on the whole person, not just the disease.

We aim to help you:

  • Feel heard and supported at every stage
  • Make sense of your treatment options
  • Rebuild your health post-treatment
  • Connect with a compassionate community

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in the thick of treatment, or navigating survivorship, Hartreach offers a steady hand and a listening ear.
