About Dr. Caitlin Courtney

Dr. Caitlin Courtney is a graduate of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago and received her Masters of Science as well as her Doctorate in Chinese Medicine. Having personally found relief from chronic health concerns and sports injuries with acupuncture, she is now determined to pay that healing forward as an acupuncturist and founder of Willow + Elm Wellness.

Caitlin has collaborated closely with Chicago’s Project Vida to provide integrative healthcare to those living with HIV and other autoimmune conditions and has worked within the Pacific College Clinic to treat women’s health concerns, pain, gastrointestinal complaints, stress and anxiety, post stroke recovery, and many more varied conditions. Additionally, she has received certification in facial and cosmetic acupuncture modalities. She most recently spent two years working with a large company that exposed her to a wide variety of patients as well as gave her experience managing up to 50 complex patient cases per week.

Dr. Courtney believes that all people are entitled to empathetic care that is accessible and resonates with them. She treats the whole person and enjoys collaborating with other practitioners a patient might require to provide comprehensive, integrative patient centered care. Her practice specializes in the care of chronically ill patients, autoimmunity, gastrointestinal disorders, psychoemotional complaints, and pain relief.
