Caitlin is a functional medicine practitioner, mum to four boys, and a hospital-trained doctor (MBBCh). She trained and worked in the NHS, and is grateful for the patients she cared for. But ten-minute appointments were never going to be the right shape for the questions some of her patients — and, honestly, she herself — were carrying.
Functional medicine gave her the lens that fit. It increased her knowledge and desire to look at the whole picture — the thyroid, the gut, the nervous system, the immune system. Once you see the clusters, it stops feeling like you're broken in twelve different ways. It starts feeling like one story — and one you can finally start working with, instead of against.
Caitlin sees clients online from Perth, across the UK and Australia. Within Cura Body, she works in the role of a functional medicine practitioner — not as your prescribing doctor. This is functional medicine education and lifestyle work, designed to sit alongside your medical care, not replace it. Anything that needs a diagnosis, a prescription or a referral stays with your GP and specialists, where it belongs.
