Kambo
a ritual of renewal
A wise and powerful ally along my healing journey, it’s with great reverence and care that I share about the tradition of Kambo. I’m grateful to offer this powerful, restorative experience in a safe and sacred container to those who have heard it's call.
The Medicine
Kambo is a healing method that has been traditionally used by indigenous tribes of the Amazon jungle for generations. It consists of the use of the secretion of a specific type of tree frog, the Phyllomedusa Bicolor, to “reset” or purify the body, release stagnant emotions and heavy energies, strengthen the body and immune system, and revitalize one’s connection to the Sacred.
Kambo is rich in bioactive peptides and neuropeptides that closely resemble the ones we have in the human body. These peptides "instruct" our cells how to function properly, bringing us back into balance. It is a unique and powerful way of supporting the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
Kambo has the potential to improve many conditions, such as chronic pain and inflammation, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, and even addictions.
The Process
Kambo “points” are safely applied, (typically to the arm or ankle), by making small burns with an organic incense stick, on the top layer of the skin, which allows it to enter the lymphatic system.
Shortly after applying the points, the body starts to experience a wide range of strong physical sensations in response to the peptides, including flu-like symptoms, that typically lead to a purging process. This "reset" cleanses the body both physically and energetically, allowing it to return to a place of homeostasis. The effects will last for around 20 minutes, until the Kambo points are removed, after which the participant will transition into the rest/integration phase of the session.
The Return
An intense, yet beautiful experience, Kambo teaches us about our inner resilience, and our capacity for presence. It offers us the unique opportunity to sit consciously (and safely), with discomfort, cultivate trust and compassion, nourish our bodies, and open our hearts to the healing wisdom of nature. Many people experience a depth of clarity and a greater self-awareness following the sessions that allows them to navigate big life transitions with a lucid, empowered understanding of themselves and their journey.
Kambo Sessions
For those who are feeling called to revitalize their connection to body, mind, and spirit through this traditional healing practice, private and group sessions are available. Please reach out for more details.
Many people may benefit from working with Kambo – However, it is strongly contraindicated for some, and an initial consultation is required. If you wish to connect for an introductory call and receive my waiver to review the preparation process, please reach out through the link below.
