The story behind TLG…
TLG Integrative Concepts LLC is inspired by the story of a remarkable woman—an amazing mother, wife, and daughter—whose strength and resilience continue to shape the work we do today. She lived with a brain tumor for three years and faced every surgery, treatment, and follow-up appointment with resilience and determination. Her courage and perseverance remain a lasting part of her family’s story.
As a patient, she actively sought integrative approaches that could support her health and quality of life. She asked important questions and explored available options, but at the time, there was limited access to the level of research, evidence, and programs that exist today.
Her experience continues to highlight the needs within healthcare systems: the importance of organized, evidence-informed integrative oncology programs and educational resources that can support both patients and care teams.
Our Mission…
TLG Integrative Concepts was founded with a clear purpose: to help healthcare organizations build integrative oncology programs and content that are grounded in evidence, guided by patient’s and care team’s needs, and designed for real-world sustainable implementation.
We support this mission by providing data-driven strategies, resources, training, and consulting services that strengthen the development and growth of integrative oncology programs within healthcare systems.
Principal Strategist,
TLG Integrative Concepts
Ashley Larsen, MS, is the Principal Strategist and founder of TLG Integrative Concepts, where she partners with healthcare organizations to build evidence‑informed, patient‑centered programs and educational content that support the growth of integrative oncology within complex healthcare systems. With over a decade of experience in academic medicine—including six years specifically working in integrative oncology—she brings a rare systems‑level understanding of how integrative services can be thoughtfully designed, implemented, and sustained.
Ms. Larsen has played a foundational role in shaping the field’s training and educational infrastructure. She co‑created three integrative oncology fellowship programs in the United States and is the first author of the published needs assessment that informed the development of the first two fellowships. She also authored a published paper outlining core competencies for integrative oncology training programs, and her research and program development work have been featured at national conferences such as the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) and the American Society of Hematology (ASH). In addition to her academic contributions, she served as a co‑author of the SIO patient eBook—a patient‑friendly guide designed to make integrative oncology information more accessible. Her consulting work extends internationally, including supporting a hospital in Singapore in developing a survey to gather data for future integrative oncology training initiatives.
Her expertise spans needs assessment design, data‑driven program strategy, and the creation of clear, accessible educational content for patients and care teams. Ms. Larsen’s work is informed by both her professional experience and the lived realities of family members and close friends who have navigated cancer care. Their experiences continue to shape her belief that integrative oncology should be accessible, organized, and grounded in evidence—and that healthcare systems need strategic support to build the programs patients deserve.
