Headshot of Caitlin, lead acupuncturist in Leyton and Walthamstow

From my very first experience of acupuncture, I was amazed by Chinese medicine's ability to take seemingly disparate symptoms and find a way to make sense of them. Through working with a variety of conditions, I have found that understanding how the body is interconnected in myriad ways can help people to connect the dots between their symptoms and thus gain a deeper understanding of their own body.
​​
With a background in medical publishing at The BMJ, I am able to blend the latest evidence-based research with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to offer a holistic approach that treats you as an individual. 

I have a keen interest in women's health, mental-emotional and musculoskeletal conditions, and I am passionate about continuing to further my knowledge.
