Meet Claire
Practicing in Koh Samui since 2018
Claire trained at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she completed both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in acupuncture and herbal medicine. Over five years of clinical practice, she has developed deep skill in Chinese acupuncture, Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and custom herbal prescriptions. That combination of formal education and hands on experience means she draws from a wide range of techniques to match each treatment to the person in front of her.
Most patients who walk through the door are dealing with some mix of shoulder tension, neck stiffness, or lower back pain that has been building for months or even years. Many also notice they cannot sleep well, feel mentally drained, or struggle with digestion that never quite settled. Claire sees these patterns every day, and her clinical focus sits right at the center of them: pain relief, insomnia, digestive health, anxiety, and emotional wellbeing. She also offers a structured smoking cessation protocol for anyone ready to quit. Nearly half of the patients she treats are trying acupuncture for the first time, so if this is new to you, you are in experienced and patient hands.
Claire speaks fluent Thai, Chinese, and English, which matters more than you might expect. Being able to describe your symptoms in your own words, without searching for translations, makes the consultation more accurate and the treatment more effective. She has treated patients from over 20 countries so far, and that range of cultural backgrounds has made her exceptionally good at listening, asking the right questions, and making sure you understand exactly what the treatment involves before a single needle is placed.

How we practice TCM
Treat the root cause
Most of our patients have been dealing with their condition for over a year before they walk through our door. We look past the obvious symptoms to find the underlying imbalance. When you address the root, the symptoms resolve and stay gone.
Whole person care
You might come in for back pain but also mention poor sleep and constant overthinking when we ask. That is not a coincidence. Your pain, emotions, sleep, and digestion are all connected. We assess the full picture before recommending treatment.
No unnecessary sessions
We will tell you honestly how many sessions you need. If one treatment is enough, we will say so. The goal is to get you better, not keep you coming back.
