kambo

I am a passionate advocate for holistic living and self-empowerment. As a certified IAKP Kambo practitioner, I guide individuals on transformative journeys toward optimal well-being, both physically and emotionally.

With a deep reverence for the mind-body connection, my approach focuses on the root and integrates ancient wisdom with modern science. 

In sacred ceremony we address the intricate interplay between the psyche and soma, enabling individuals to unravel deeply rooted patterns to reclaim their vitality. Through my grounded presence and intuitive facilitation, I create a safe space for self-exploration and transformation, helping clients tap into the body and profound healing power of conscious breathing, releasing emotional blockages and cultivating inner peace.

IAKP certified practitioner

The International Association of Kambo Practitioners (IAKP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the safe, responsible, and professional use of Kambo through training, awareness, and research.

 Kambo is a secretion from the skin of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, found in the Amazon rainforest. Traditionally used by indigenous tribes, Kambo has gained popularity in the West for its health benefits, including detoxification and immune system enhancement.

The IAKP emphasizes ethical practices in the collection and use of Kambo, ensuring that the frogs are not harmed during the process. The organization provides training and support for practitioners to ensure the safe application of Kambo.

kambo is..

traditionally used by tribes to cleanse, strengthen, & energize the minds & bodies of the hunters. Secondly it has been used as a medicine for malaria, fevers, & snake bites. Thirdly, it was used to clear away dark or negative energy known as “Panema”.

When Panema is cleared, everything becomes easier, obstacles can be overcome, & life flows more naturally.

There are stories of Kambo also being used for fertility.

A few uses here in the West: opening drainage pathways & detox, clearing energy, & improving immune system.

peptide treatment

Peptides are sequences of amino acids that serve specific functions & are responsible for countless vital processes in the body. Kambo secretion contains a plethora of bioactive, bioavailable peptides which means our body recognizes it as it’s own.

These are some of them:

Phyllocaerulein - a neuropeptide

Phyllokinin- hypotension

Phyllomedusin- a neuropeptide

Phyllolitorin, Rohedi-Litorin- neuropeptides active in the central & peripheral nervous system

Dermorphin- a heptapeptide for pain relief

Tryptophyllins- potent against the yeast Candida

Dermaseptin- potent antimicrobial against bacteria, yeast, fungi, protozoa, & viruses

Andenoregulin- a 33 amino acid peptide effective in killing cancer cells

Deltorphin- a heptapeptide pain for relief

kambo is not…

a poison or a venom. It is a secretion that enters through the lymphatic system.

what to expect in your session:

Preparation

You will need to fast for 8-12 hours before your treatment. You will also need to drink no liquids or any kind for 2 hours prior. A cup of tea (4-6oz) 2 hours before your treatment is fine. Also:

  • Dress in layers as you may feel hot and/or cold during different stages of the treatment. The are of application will need to remain uncovered for most of session.

  • Bring a change of clothes - it’s rarely needed but when it is, it’s very good to have.

The session itself

Before beginning the session we will take some time to talk about Kambo, your intentions, and whatever else feels supportive to the treatment. When you are comfortable and ready, we will begin.

Burn the Gates

The first step is to burn the gates on your skin. This involves using a small ember to burn away just the top layer of skin. These burns are where the Kambo will be applied.

Drink Water

You will drink a significant amount of water at this point. This will prepare your body for the cleansing effects of the Kambo.

Receive the Kambo

Application of Kambo is fast and painless. Its effects will begin very quickly and generally last 20-40 minutes. During the peak of the experience you may experience physical effects such as:

  • Blood pressure fluctuations - high, low, or both

  • Fever or chills

  • Purging and/or nausea

  • Need to move your bowels

    Recover

    After 20-40 minutes, I will remove the Kambo. You will have the chance to lie down, have a “kambo nap”, feel into what you have just experienced, & recover your strength. When you are ready, I will have food & drinks available to help you recover. After 1-2 hours you will be ready to depart. Most people are capable of driving at this point, & many even go on to engage in usual activities. However, it is recommended you give yourself the time to integrate & do not engage in anything stressful or strenuous afterwards.

After the session

In the hours & days following your session, I encourage you to continue to explore the effects the Kambo has had on you physically, mentally, & spiritually. It can take some time for the effects to fully reveal themselves & the effect can be subtle even while it is powerful. For many people, the benefit of the treatment appears on all levels and has a lasting effect.
