Tom Waterman Lic Ac MATCM
I completed a 4 year degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Middlesex University in 2014, receiving a first class honours and award from the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture for excellence in studies.
In recent years I have become more interested in a classical approach to Chinese Medicine and am evolving my practice accordingly, shifting from a strict pattern differentiation based approach to a more holistic, cosmological understanding.
At this point in time my preferred way of working is primarily with Acupuncture and Tui Na, but I may introduce herbs at a later stage if the desired treatment outcome isn’t reached or it is deemed the best fit for the presenting condition.
Clinically I have a particular interest in working with digestive conditions, musculoskeletal pain, and stress-anxiety related disorders but I still consider myself a generalist at heart and like to approach clinic with a wide lens.
Listening, supporting and empowering my clients is at the centre of my practice and I have a deep rooted desire to help people with their pain and distress.
I enjoy practising Chinese Martial Arts which is where my interest in East Asian healing originates. This includes Qi Gong, meditation and mindful movement, all of which I draw on in my clinical practice.
I am a full member of the ATCM and am bound to this Association’s Code of Practice and Code of Professional Conduct at all times.

Testimonials
“Thomas didn’t just help me regain my health by fixing my sleep, taking the pain away from digestive issues, piriformis syndrome and migraines. He also supported my daughter’s journey from having severe allergy and digestive issues for almost all her life, to becoming free from most of it.
It has been life changing. I am very grateful for his dedication to help and support people on their way to health.”
“I am so thankful to have found Thomas! I struggle with scoliosis pain and vertigo and was worried about finding a new practitioner as I just moved here. Thomas is extremely knowledgable and beyond capable. I would definitely recommend him!”
“Having suffered chronic sinusitis for over a year, with no alleviation from prescribed medications – actually they just gave me terrible side effects, acupuncture and a course of Chinese herbs not only significantly reduced the symptoms during a sinusitis attack, but reduced the frequency of attacks. Where it would take me a week to 10 days to recover, one acupuncture session will set me right by the next day.”
“This was one of the best massage treatments I’ve ever had. I’ve suffered from back problems over the years and have received many different massage therapies and have to say, Tom really deserves 5 stars!”
“I suffered from long-term chronic pain in one of my elbows. After one treatment with Tom, I no longer have pain. Tom is professional and nice. I recommend making an appointment with him.”
“I’ve had several treatments with Tom and they have been of great benefit in helping with my sciatica related soreness, pain and discomfort. I highly recommend ongoing treatment as they have been extremely helpful in providing relief.”
