Loretta Lanphier is a Naturopathic Practitioner, Certified Traditional Naturopath, Natural Health Coach, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Holistic Health Practitioner, and Certified Clinical Herbalist, as well as the Founder and CEO of Oasis Advanced Wellness in The Woodlands, Texas.
With more than 25 years of experience in natural health and wellness, Loretta has devoted her career to studying and researching natural medicine, whole-body wellness, hormone wellness, healthy aging, clinical nutrition, weight management, herbal remedies, and non-toxic approaches to cancer support. She remains actively involved in researching and developing natural health protocols, educational resources, and products designed to support the body’s remarkable ability to heal and maintain optimal health.
A Stage 3 colon cancer survivor since 2001, Loretta brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to her work. Having experienced the health journey from both sides—as a patient and a practitioner—she understands the importance of addressing the whole person and root-cause rather than focusing solely on individual health concerns and symptoms. Her personal experience continues to inspire her passion for educating and empowering others to take an active role in their health and well-being.
“My passion has always been helping others understand what it takes to keep the whole body healthy through natural, non-toxic approaches that support the body’s God-given ability to heal.”
Loretta also serves as Chief Wellness Officer for Dr. Edward Group, DC, contributing to natural health education, wellness program development, and research..

My Mission
I am optimistic that more and more people will observe what isn’t working in their lives and begin to observe what works, and change, because of the examples we project at Oasis Advanced Wellness. What concerns me now is the observance that many people who are struggling with health concerns are trapped by their own toxic behavior and fear. Somewhere, in our quest for “perfect medicine”, we have lost the correct definition of health and seem content to accept obesity, pain, stress, depression, disease, fatigue, etc. as a normal part of the aging process and thus continue in habits that feed these concerns.
My passion is to educate, teach and counsel people that when it comes to wellness, “stepping out of the box” will allow them options to not only get the body healthy but keep it healthy. When we recognize that “fear” is our worst enemy and take steps to eliminate it, then we are truly ready to begin the journey to good health and well-being, which includes first and foremost taking responsibility for our own health or lack of it.

Seminar Speaker
Loretta considers it a privilege to share her testimony about cancer survival as well as how to get the body healthy and keep it healthy while living in a very toxic world.. She has given her testimony in conferences with Dr. Lee Cowden, Burton Goldberg, Dr. Garry Gordon, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Edward F. Group III, Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski and Dr. Wolfgang Woeppel. Her own personal experience as a stage 3 colon cancer survivor allows the audience to come away with a vast amount of information. “When it comes to cancer diagnosis and treatment, I want people to know that there are answers and that they do have choices.” Her style of “truth and straight-forwardness” in an easy-to-understand format is very refreshing to even the most discerning of audiences.
