Rachel Caffarate

BSc Hons, Lic Ac, MBAcC DipObsGyn

Rachel studied acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (CICM) graduating with a first class BSc (Hons) in acupuncture, training in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat specific conditions, and Five Element Acupuncture, which treats on a deeper, constitutional level. She also studied sports acupuncture under Kevin Young to treat sports and musculo-skeletal injuries.

Rachel is a trained yoga and somatic movement teacher and has a particular interest in yin yoga which she often teaches aligned to the meridian lines. She can offer advice on how yoga, meditation and breathwork can help a patient feel more centred and balanced.

Although Rachel is a general acupuncture practitioner and enjoys treating a wide range of conditions, she is very passionate about supporting women (and men) in their fertility journey and in the post-natal period. She has a diploma in fertility, gynaecology and obstetrics, having trained with Jill Glover and Sharon Yelland.
Rachel’s focus is primarily around providing treatment tailored to the individual, including much needed emotional support. She offers a calm and safe space in which patients can feel they can completely relax.

Rachel is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and the Yoga Alliance
