O.M. Claire grew up in Craig, CO. She attended the University of Northern Colorado where she received a bachelor degree in Human Services. She pursed career opportunities at a residential treatment facility and as the Executive Director of Northwest Colorado Dental Coalition in Craig. She has a deep passion for helping others. She was first introduced to acupuncture as a teen and then again after college. Claire was drawn to the way Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treated all aspects of a person. TCM treats the individual as a whole, this includes addressing lifestyle, nutrition along with treating by acupuncture, herbal medicines and other modalities. Claire believes that healing involves all aspects of a person. This medicine aligned beautifully with how she wanted to pursue helping others. Claire earned her Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After completing a series of national board exams through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) she was eligible to practice acupuncture and herbal medicine in the state of Colorado. Claire enjoys treating patients of all backgrounds and a variety of cases. She treats cases of pain, insomnia, digestion, gynecology, anxiety, immunity and general health and wellness. After moving back home to Craig, she opened Prosper Acupuncture & Internal Medicine. CERTIFICATIONS Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine Diplomat of Oriental Medicine, Dipl. O.M.

Electric stimulation can be effective to address pain, neuropathy, bone regeneration, and paralysis among other things. Depending on the frequency used, it can feel like a light buzzing or tapping or can be more intense depending on your condition and tolerance. https://www.prosperacupuncture.com/moxibustion daily 0.75 2022-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d42f2bf0912e80001f7d098/1672337353575-F7RVKUDDADJEVIAJK72F/unsplash-image-zoTdPQzG3JE.jpg Moxibustion - Moxibustion Moxibustion, or moxa, is the process of burning an herb called Mugwort over certain acupuncture points or general areas of the body. Methods include burning a stick of moxa, placing moxa on top of a needle or placed directly over an acupuncture point- don’t worry, you will not be burned! Moxa is intensely warming and has also been shown to raise white blood cell counts in the body, making it great for the immune system. https://www.prosperacupuncture.com/gua-sha daily 0.75 2022-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d42f2bf0912e80001f7d098/1672337438347-B8URRGTD4X92NS4LJTVH/unsplash-image-KiQt6CC0BvY.jpg Gua Sha - Gua Sha Gua Sha is a modality that increases blood flow, lymphatic drainage and decreases pain and inflammation. A smoothed edge tool is used against the skin in long strokes with a gradual increase in pressure. Depending on the area of the body this is used, some redness or petechiae may develop, but is usually resolved in 2-3 days. The skin is always prepared with an oil prior to using gua sha. https://www.prosperacupuncture.com/cupping daily 0.75 2022-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d42f2bf0912e80001f7d098/1672337013414-1KNRJPRIFG228NGOJ1LX/unsplash-image-ofCg_Duoig0.jpg Cupping - Cupping Cupping uses heat generated from fire with glass cups to pull the skin and muscles upward. It is essentially the opposite of a massage, creating space in areas of tightness and stagnation to provide relief from pain. I typically use topical oils and salves that incorporate Chinese herbs with cupping sessions to promote muscle relaxation. PS - you can have heart shaped cupping marks, just ask! https://www.prosperacupuncture.com/pricing-1 daily 0.75 2022-12-29 https://www.prosperacupuncture.com/dutch-testing daily 0.75 2022-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d42f2bf0912e80001f7d098/1672338160314-1C7OELSJJVS7MMWJPK61/unsplash-image-KWb_41kG0GE.jpg DUTCH Testing - DUTCH Testing Prosper offers DUTCH testing by Precision Analytical Inc.
