Imagine a lush, emerald tropical island surrounded by pristine, turquoise waters.

Where every day life is serene, untouched by the modern world. Where every morning, you rise with the sounds of fluttering bird calls and are lulled to sleep by the songs of crickets and toads. Every meal is cooked with loving intention, with organic, locally sourced ingredients. Finally, you’ve found a place where you can rest your bones, turn off, tune in and feel rejuvenated by waterfalls, rivers, and picture-perfect sunsets.

Welcome to my ancestral lands of the Philippines. It is on this magical island where I facilitate deeply healing retreats with (or without) sacred medicines where you are given the chance to reignite the connection with yourself, source, and the natural world.

A ‘spiritual doula’ in training.

My retreat program, called Phoenix Rising: A Self-Revival retreat, stands apart from typical sacred plant medicine experiences. It requires a dedicated commitment to at least 9 weekly Clarity Coaching sessions before you book your personalized 1-on-1 retreat on my island.

“A doula is someone who supports people through transitions. The true work of the spiritual doula is to assist people in their transitions into a deeper connection to their own Spirituality and connection to Source. We work with anything that gets in the way of that process, including things like trauma, belief systems, behaviors, choices, and negative energy.”

She is a bridger of worlds.

In my role as a seasoned facilitator, I have witnessed the most profound transformations unfold when rooted in deep trust, connection, open dialogue, and shared understanding—qualities nurtured over a period of time.

Prior to embarking on the medicine journey, fostering a deep relationship paves the way for complete surrender and trust in the experience we create together.

Your three-month commitment to working together marks the beginning of an incredible journey of true connection.

“We call in and use a variety of methods in that evolution such as spirit guides, ancestors, expanded states of consciousness, plant medicines and more. We are trained and experienced in many paths of healing including psychology, somatics, and energy work, ancestral healing, and shamanism.” 

– Sabrina Santa Clara, Spiritual Doula & Mentor

01

12 Clarity Coaching zoom calls, paired with at-home retreat preparation & micro-dose sessions (optional).

02

A profound 10-day personalized retreat, all-inclusive, on my lush, tropical, uninhabited island.

What My Clients Say About Me

Claire’s facilitation was very supportive, thorough, and helpful. I loved where I was led and how I felt so expansive. She prepared me well, offered good follow-up and observations. I felt very safe and could relax into the experience. The ceremony definitely elicits a changed perspective, especially with conscious intention. It definitely stirred up new energies, tapped into my highest excitements and has brought them all to the surface. It was like a culmination of all of my dreaming and affirmation focuses from recent times and the past. I felt relaxed, calm, and like nothing mattered that much. Relief came up, freedom, lightness, detachment. Through this therapy, I was made conscious of compensatory behaviors that are mostly falling away, behaviors that essentially are seeking approval I am not giving myself. (People pleasing, trusting others more than myself, giving too much and being left with not enough i.e. better and better self care, no longer comparing myself to others). I realized that I have all I need to be happy already. I am really happy with my decision to break away from a restrictive relationship that cost me some things. Claire’s facilitation was worth it.

Angelina G.

Sacred Medicine Retreat

For the experience as a whole, I felt extremely comfortable and well prepared. I felt all the extra things leading up to the medicine were wonderful. The breathwork, reiki session and affirmations and chats were great. During the journey you were very attentive and had a sense of strength that was amazing. The Reiki session was very energetic for me. I didn’t mention much about it, but I saw numerous visions during it. One of which was an owl and large cat eyes while you were working on my head. The owl has always been a sacred animal to me. I loved the feedback you gave me after the session of what you saw. Much of which really landed for me. I could go on and on and will be happy to share more as it comes to me. The most important thing is I felt safe and unrushed. All in all you were a powerhouse, and I feel an awesome bond with you after this journey.

Scott Rist

Sacred Medicine Retreat

You are one of the most profound beings I have ever witnessed the magic of creation bring to life. Your enthusiasm for new experiences, for genuine connection, for deep conversation and for life in general has been so inspiring. Your compassion for others, your willingness to help everyone and your healing energy has blessed me and so many. You are selfless, strong, extravagant, creative, authentically and unapologetically yourself. You are driven, resilient, vulnerable, honest, outgoing and kind. Your energy is one of magnificent magnitude and you amplify every environment. I am eternally grateful to have been blessed working with you!

Sadira Wolfe

Psychedelic Integration Therapy

I was absolutely surprised by your intuitive powers. It’s not always you get such an intuitive insightful queen! I felt amazing afterwards. Buzzy, relaxed, connected. You are truly so gifted and I felt your love and care for me every step of the way. You were thorough and thoughtful and just felt like you went above and beyond. Grateful for your gifts and super grateful I found you!

Julia Shepley

Reiki Healing

It was my second-ever reiki healing, and it was so magical and so relaxing. Claire made me feel very safe and very open. But what was the best part for me, was when she afterwards explained what she felt and saw while healing different parts of my body. Everything aligned with me and made sense. Afterwards I felt so enlightened and so much stronger in the belief of myself and the path I’m on. I would love to do this again, especially with Claire, because she really has a gift. The calmness and strength Claire provided me with would be something I would love to get more often. It’s like a healthy reminder of who you are and how you connect to your higher self and to your body.

Caroline Kjellberg

Reiki Healing

I was really surprised as I really liked the energy in the session and your energy in general the first time I met you. I’m pretty sensitive to energy, but it really felt in alignment (and I sometimes struggle with women doing all kinds of healing sessions as I did have some negative experiences in the past), but I felt I trusted you. I liked that you cleared the room with palo santo in the beginning and the small explanation of the upcoming session. I think the space was held very well and I could relax after a while. I could feel the energy really strongly. I really appreciated that you asked for consent in the beginning before touching the different parts of the body. I think that’s really important and is often not practiced in a lot of healing sessions. I loved the sharing of the visions you had at the end, I was surprised how deeply it resonated with me. You really have a gift! I could definitely see that there would be a positive change in someone’s life over the course of a few sessions. I think your healing sessions can bring energies back into balance to create a more loving and peaceful life.

Kerstin Rueckert

Reiki Healing

I usually use Reiki when I feel the need to rest, relax and go back to my spiritual path when  I can’t find the way to do it by myself. I instantly felt energy growing inside my body when you put your hands around my head. After the healing session, I felt very relaxed and balanced. I was comfortable the whole time. I liked that you wrote down what you felt in detail and I am happy to have something to read and to think about.

Alizée Cleach

Reiki Healing

It was far more than I expected to receive. The way you tapped into my centers not only clearing but attaining channeled information was deeply resonate and beneficial to me. I think it’s an amazing tool for clearing energy and gaining insight on personal growth and or energy movement.

Halo Be

Reiki Healing

During the session I felt very relaxed. Claire has a strong and gentle presence. She is a sage! But the real effects were felt after the session. I felt like I was lighter on my feet but also more secure in my body. The images she shared were amazing to hear about. I still think about some of the messages she heard/saw during our session. I would have wanted it to go on longer because it was so pleasant! It feels like a “reset” for me.

Leah Gooch

Reiki Healing

I had an extremely powerful reiki session with Claire. The shift I experienced from before to after the session was incredible. I have been to many healing sessions but this one was a stand out for the amount of energy I felt moving within and over my body. Claire’s gentle, kind and loving presence is anchored with a strong ability to create space for others to heal. Her visions and sharings after the session were filled with wisdom and guidance. This session helped me integrate and embody what my intention was for myself. I’m so grateful and so happy I now know Claire and had this opportunity that came at exactly the right time. I recommend Claire highly to help anyone where ever they may be on their journey.

Claire is a wonderful reiki healer!

Neil Amponin

Reiki Healing Session

The medicine journey was so impactful for me because has led me to confront some of my biggest blocks. It hasn’t removed them, it has shined even more light on them asking for me to do the work on confronting them. Replacing them. You have a high level of care. I was impressed by your integration notes and encouragement. You also had a very good ability to bring me back to safety. The few moments you placed your hand on my chest and soothed me out of the fear was very memorable. Trying to face the truth is a very hard task, but I have no choice after the journey. Thank you for everything, Claire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Psychedelics have been used by a few indigenous communities for medicinal traditions for millennia. However, the West has been developing our understanding of the pharmacology, physiology and neurology of these substances using the ‘scientific method’ since the turn of the 19th century.

  • From 1900 to 1950, Swiss, German and American chemists synthesized a wide range of psychedelic substances which we often refer to as ‘Classical Psychedelics’.
  • From 1950 to 1970, psychedelics went through a burgeoning period of scientific and cultural exploration and were researched extensively in university laboratories and Californian parties.
  • From 1970 to 1990, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, restricted the extent to which these medicines could be researched.
  • From 1990 to 2010, a ‘Psychedelic Renaissance’ took place, in which pioneers such as Rick Strassman, Franz Vollenweider, David Nutt, and Roland Griffiths, began a resurgence of research into these substances after 20 years of scientific censorship.
  • From 2010 to today, the interest in psychedelic research has blossomed as new indications are benefiting from psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. During this time some of the most rigorous studies on psychedelics have been conducted.

To find out more about the history of psychedelics, check out the comprehensive timeline produced by Psychedelic Times.

Research shows that psychedelics are generally physiologically and psychologically safe when delivered in controlled, therapeutic and supportive settings. However, side effects are a fact of life that needs to be accepted, managed in the context of benefits and carefully monitored. Psychedelic treatments, despite being considered generally safe, present real risks, as virtually any effective treatment does. The various compounds used in clinical trials, and in the future – in psychedelic-assisted therapies, have different safety profiles. For example, while psychedelic compounds like psilocybin and LSD are non-toxic and non-habit forming, MDMA can influence blood pressure and ketamine can become addictive over time if not used under strict supervision. As with any other medical treatment, it is crucial to consider the possible benefits and risks and make an informed decision based on that.

To find out more about the safety profiles of specific compounds, see the question “What are the main psychedelic compounds and their potential therapeutic applications, effects and risks?”

Psychedelics can induce powerful psychoactive effects such as altered states of consciousness, feelings of positivity, elation, vivid colors, changes in visual and auditory perception, and altered perception of time, space and one’s own body. The intensity of these effects varies based on factors such as the individual’s personality, current state of mind, and physical setting.

Psychedelic medicines have the potential to tap into the innate healing intelligence of the mind and body. They can bring about significant changes in personality, beliefs, and worldview by allowing individuals to step outside themselves and view their habits with fresh eyes. In a supportive environment, these experiences may include feelings of self-love and interconnectedness, which can lead to profound insights and personal growth. These experiences are regarded as fundamental to the psychedelic experience. With on-going support afterwards, individuals can completely reprogram and recalibrate their mindsets and behavioral biases and rid themselves of destructive thoughts and habits.

Psychedelics can allow for a temporary deactivation of mental and emotional defenses. While this can be immensely beneficial, it can also bring up painful emotions and trauma, resulting in what some call a “bad trip.” A skilled facilitator can help mitigate these situations and provide support when needed.

Psychedelic experiences with ‘classic’ psychedelic medicines (such as LSD, otherwise known as acid, or magic mushrooms, otherwise known as psilocybin) can be potentially challenging, mentally and emotionally. However, I will be there for you through the entire experience. I have 10+ years of experience with varying levels of psychedelic experiences, and know exactly how to handle clients who experience a “bad trip.” It is often through experiencing these challenges that you will ‘break through’ and overcome rigid patterns of thinking, which are typically what perpetuate the negative patterns that no longer serve you.

All the medicines used are produced by both genuine, professional chemists who specialize in manufacturing the highest quality clinical-grade medicines, or organically grown and harvested within the local region.
  • Activation of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors
    While the mechanism of action of psychedelic compounds is not fully understood, it seems that their primary effect comes from the brain’s serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. Psychedelics bind to these serotonin receptors and quieten the Default Mode Network (DMN), which governs our sense of identity. This disrupts the traditional patterns of thinking and enables the activation of new neural pathways. The result is a shift of consciousness and perception. The hypothesis is that activating these receptors allows the brain to remodel old patterns, leading to remission of the symptoms of depression that can last for months after a single psychedelic treatment.
  • Increased neural connectivity
    Another theory is that many psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions are a result of “cortical atrophy”, the loss of connectivity between the connections of neurons in the pre-frontal cortex. Psychedelics seem to allow these connections to be strengthened and reconnected. The psychedelic state has been compared to the mind of a baby, with billions of synaptic connections yet to be pruned as patterns of thought are established. This altered state of perception and fluid sense of identity have profound implications for mental illness rooted in rigid thought patterns such as depression and anxiety. The patient is able to shift to a different state of awareness, see his/her personality from a role of an observer, see that different ways of thinking and behaving are possible.
  • Thalamic gating model
    There is also a theory called the thalamic gating model. The thalamus is a structure in the brain that takes in sensory information. It is a gate which allows selective information in, so that the rest of the brain is not overloaded. The theory says that psychedelics open up this gate — they remove the gating mechanism and allow a broader perspective.
  • Neuroplasticity
    Psychedelics have been found to have a significant impact on neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain’s ability to change and adapt in response to environmental and experiential factors. They seem to increase the growth of new neurons and the formation of new synaptic connections in the brain.
    One of the primary ways that psychedelics impact neuroplasticity is by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain, specifically the 5-HT2A receptor. This binding triggers a cascade of molecular and cellular events that ultimately lead to an increase in the expression of certain genes that are associated with neural plasticity.
  • Direct Binding to BDNF Receptor TrkB
    New studies show that psychedelics can help the brain adapt and change by directly connecting with a specific brain receptor called TrkB. This connection boosts the production of a protein called BDNF, which helps new brain connections to form. Interestingly, this process doesn’t rely on the usual target of psychedelics, the 5-HT2A receptor, suggesting that psychedelics work in more ways than we thought.
    Psychedelics also improve communication between BDNF and TrkB, important parts of the brain’s adaptability system. This enhanced communication helps the brain to adapt and contributes to the long-lasting effects of psychedelics.
  • Reopening of the Social Reward Learning Critical Period
    Recent research suggests that psychedelics can “reset” the brain to a more youthful state, allowing it to absorb new information and form important connections between neurons. This process is likened to reopening a “critical period” of learning that typically closes as we mature. In this state, the brain can make long-term changes in behaviour, learning, and sensory systems, which could have significant implications for treating mental health conditions.
    The same study found that psychedelics make neurons more sensitive to the hormone oxytocin, which plays a key role in social bonding. This increased sensitivity, referred to as metaplasticity, allows the neurons to rewire and form new connections more readily. This process can be influenced by environmental stimuli, suggesting that the context in which the psychedelic is taken can shape its effects.
  • You are seeking a catalyst to empower a great and positive change in your life.
  • You are battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, drug addiction, sex addiction, gambling addiction, or tobacco addiction, OCD, distinct trauma relief.
  • You have suffered childhood sexual abuse.
  • You don’t feel excited by anything anymore.
  • You are looking for your purpose.
  • You feel called to awakening your Spirit.
  • You are seeking to understand yourself, a past situation, your emotions, or your own psychology better.
  • You are seeking to connect the dots of your life to create a sense of acceptance, forgiveness and deeper understanding.
  • You have a terminal illness and are looking to liberate yourself via death acceptance therapy.


Common to all of these conditions is often an underlying experience of past trauma and/or adversity – often going back to difficult childhood experiences, including sexual abuse.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy is a good treatment for helping patients to address difficult past traumatic memories that they would usually avoid.

Even if you have not experienced past trauma or adversity, this therapy can be particularly beneficial for helping you to learn more about yourself and come to deeper clarity about your life’s purpose.

Psychedelic medicines used in a therapeutic setting under monitored supervision are safe to use with most health conditions. However, some conditions would exclude you from treatment with psychedelics. People with unstable blood pressure, a history of cardiac disease, with a long history of using antidepressants, severe liver or kidney disease, pregnancy, breastfeeding, the elderly, children under 18 years old, people with a history of psychosis (e.g. schizophrenia or bipolar 1 disorder) or those with a high suicide risk will likely not meet the eligibility criteria for psychedelic-assisted therapy. However, every case will be assessed individually before deciding whether to proceed.

Integration is arguably the single most important factor in what gives a psychedelic experience lasting therapeutic and personal growth value, rather than being a fantastic ride that sweeps you up for a few hours before fading away into memory. Many experienced psychonauts and leaders in the psychedelic movement have stressed the importance of both intention setting and integration in working with psychedelics, and there are now even businesses to help people who undergo psychedelic therapy to integrate the experience in a lasting and positive way.

To take psychedelics in any context without a plan to integrate the experience afterwards is akin to planting a seed in the ground and neglecting to water it. As cultures around the world have known for millennia, psychedelics are incredibly powerful tools with immense healing potential, but they are not a magic spell that will transform your life without any effort on your part.
