Daoist Traditions offers a rigorous program that was founded by the students of 88th generation Daoist priest, Jeffrey Yuen.  She had the pleasure of studying under Master Yuen and was steeped in the potent traditions of the Jade Purity School.  She received extensive training in utilizing the various channel systems to treat a myriad of health concerns.  She also explored an in depth self-cultivation qi gong practice from Master Yuen’s lineage.
Claire has had the pleasure of studying under Dr. Randine Lewis, one of the leading experts in the field of treating infertility from a Chinese medical standpoint.  She has received certificates of training from Guy Polak and Adi Fromm at the Israeli Tan Center in the Balance Method and Global Balance Method.   She has studied under Dr. Cissy Majebe who is a leading expert in Chinese medicine cancer treatment, and president of Daoist Traditions.

Her path to Chinese Medicine

Claire became inspired by Eastern medicine through her own experience of grief and explored first-hand the effects that acupuncture can have on one’s emotional body.  Through witnessing the ways in which our Western medical system lacks a comprehensive understanding of the body-mind-spirit dynamic, she was led to seek out more holistic modalities.

She began her career in Chinese medicine at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, a Five Elements based school that emphasizes human’s interconnection with, and relationship to nature.  This introduction sparked a joy, remembrance, and understanding of how health and wellness is reliant upon being deeply rooted in the cycles of nature.

After a year of being steeped in the Five Elements tradition, she was drawn to the mountains of Western North Carolina to continue her studies.  In Asheville, she developed a deep connection to the local plant life.  As her understanding of Chinese herbal medicine grew, she began experimenting with making tinctures, wildcrafting local herbs, and exploring the potent powers of medicinal plant allies.
​
This passion for exploration of plant-life led her to create Shen Moon Medicine, a small batch herbal medicine company.  She loves the alchemical process of gardening, growing, wildcrafting and making a myriad of plant medicines including tinctures, salves, and sunscreens.
Outside of the clinic she can be found rock climbing, dancing, singing, and exploring local plant life.

AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL & KIND: "This was my first experience at The Light Clinic and also meeting Joseph for the first time. I feel so utterly blessed to have found Joseph and his "healing hands".

GREAT OPTION FOR ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE: "Love the whole body approach at the Light Clinic! Have had several treatments and very pleased.You will enjoy the healing atmosphere and the personal attention you receive from these practitioners.

She'll find things before my doctor does and it always surprises him when he tells me something and I tell him my CranioSacral Therapist told me the same thing. The entire staff is also like this. Do yourself a favor - go see them."
