About Claire Durst, BSN, RN

With 18 years of clinical experience in trauma, emergency, and psychiatric care, I integrate holistic and wellness approaches to mental health. My journey has led me to the forefront of psychedelic-assisted treatments, where ancient medicines meet modern healing.

As the former Medical Operations Director at The Mission Within in Tijuana, Mexico, I've witnessed profound transformations in veterans and first responders struggling with PTSD, depression, and traumatic brain injuries.

I believe healing doesn't happen in isolation, and no one should walk the path forward alone. My work bridges science, research, and lived experience to create pathways for true healing.

My Mission

My gift is connecting deeply with people — truly seeing them, feeling their pain, and understanding their suffering on a level that goes beyond words. I want to continue that work while helping others uncover the root causes within themselves — both psychologically and biologically.

My vision is to guide people in healing from the inside out, going deeper than just the "root" and into the very fabric of our human makeup. By integrating wellness, functional medicine, and genetic insights, we can optimize all our systems — mind, body, and spirit — to release everything from generational trauma to present-day pain.

I'm equally passionate about advancing education — empowering patients, clinicians, and the broader community with knowledge and real-world tools for healing. I believe in bridging science, research, and lived experience — showcasing stories of resilience, breakthroughs, and recovery.

Because I've been there. When medicine failed me and hope seemed out of reach, hearing others' stories of healing kept me alive. I didn't know it then, but those stories were my lifeline — proof that transformation was possible.

Now, my purpose is to be part of that same ripple effect — working both on the frontlines and behind the scenes to connect the dots, create pathways to true healing, and ensure others never have to suffer as I once did. My goal is simple yet profound: to help others find hope, healing, and wholeness within themselves.
