UNCONVENTIONAL HEALING

Redefining medicine

At first glance, the concept of using peptides derived from frog secretions for healing might raise eyebrows, but it's important to recognize that our perception of what constitutes conventional medicine is often limited by cultural norms and mainstream practices.

Kambo, derived from the skin secretions of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, has been utilized for centuries by indigenous tribes in the Amazon for its potent healing properties.

 
 
 

PROVEN EFFICACY

RESULTS

Fresh perspectives

The bioactive peptides in Kambo are believed to exert their effects through interactions with receptors in the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.

This interaction leads to a cascade of responses, including the release of endorphins, neuropeptides, and neurotransmitters, which can result in a range of effects such as heightened senses, emotional release, and increased mental clarity.

  • Prior to sitting with Kambo, it’s best to setup a complimentary phone consultation as there are some contraindications and I like to get to know my clients. Sitting with Kambo, especially the first time, can be somewhat of a vulnerable experience. Complimentary consults can be setup using the scheduling link.

    General session prep:

    • Fill out liability waiver

    • Eat mainly nutrient dense foods leading up to your session

    • Avoid alcohol for 12 hours

    • Fast 7-10 hours prior to the session

    • May have 1 cup of water leading up to session

    • May have 1 cup of water per hour leading up to afternoon or evening session

  • Single Kambo sessions last 1.5-2 hours for 1-2 people.

    • Step 1 (optional): The session starts off with Rapé (pronounced hoppay), an Amazon tobacco administered using a Tepi (pipe) through the nasal cavity. The intense blow will focus the mind, stop mental chatter, create a shortcut to meditation and induce a whole-body sense of relaxation.

    • Step 2 (optional): The application of Sananga, powerful Amazonian plant extract eyedrops known for their effect of giving the environment greater texture and dimension.

    • Step 3: Preparing 3-5 gates (burns in skin) using an incense stick, burning only the top layer of the skin. Once gates are prepared, one liter of water is consumed, the Kambo secretion is topically applied to the gates. The secretion is left on for roughly 20 minutes.

  • It’s common to feel fatigued for an entire day after your experience with Kambo, it’s best to schedule this appointment on a day where you can rest post session.

    Drink plenty of water post session.

  • Microdosing is often used as a gentle introduction to Kambo or as a maintenance therapy to support overall well-being. It's a personalized and adaptable way to experience the healing power of Kambo while honoring individual preferences and sensitivities.

  • Dave. D.

    The therapeutic effects were numerous – I felt like the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders, and I really had little to no worries afterward. You know me as a very relaxed guy, but I do have my times of stress, nervousness, and worry – because I’m human. Anyway, the positive effect of Kambo lasted for several weeks after the treatments. As you know, before we met, I endured a really and nearly insurmountable mind/body issue after enduring a 6-hour surgery under Fentanyl, and Kambo had an amazing effect on the pain symptoms of that, particularly in my knees and lower back. I had not experienced anything like that sensation, minus doing pretty rigorous exercise like lap swimming or cycling. I’m a believer!

  • Taylor C.

    I had never tried Kambo and had sought it out to help with physical and emotional pain. Doing research on Kambo, I was initially scared. All my fears melted away once I was with Kristin. She created a peaceful, calm and welcoming environment for my foray into this practice. She listened intently to what needs I had and even created a tattoo like design for the initial and future applications. Once the purging started, she was with me every step of the way and safely guided me through my experience in a gentle, calm, and loving manner. Overall, the whole experience was euphoric and life changing. Kristin is an amazingly, one-of-a-kind, beautiful soul dedicated to the healing of others through this practice!

  • Will M.

    I am very grateful to Kristin! She is an outstanding practitioner who takes great care in her work. She demonstrates compassion and understanding in her practice, and has a deep respect for the medicine of Kambo. Kristin has been able to help both my wife and I to gain invaluable healing and growth through our sessions with her, and we will forever be thankful.

    I will absolutely be continuing to return to Kristin again in the future, and I recommend anyone else who is interested, to do the same!

  • Taryn M.

    Working with Kristin has been a transformative experience. Her expertise in kambo has not only deepened my understanding of the practice but has also brought immense healing and empowerment into my life. She has opened the doors for self discovery and personal growth during our sessions. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristin to anyone seeking a kambo journey.

  • Josh H.

    I’ve really enjoyed the whole process and continued treatment. Always looking for new ways and therapies, I was drawn to Kristin's knowledge and personal experiences with Kambo. From her intake to treatment, she adds comfort and compassion to the process. Personally I have better clarity and reduced anxiety from the series of treatments. Highly recommend Kambo, it's been very effective.

  • Doug H.

    It took some convincing to get me to try Kambo, it did sound “out there”. Kristin knew there to be a need due to symptoms I had been experiencing off and on, I did not realize they were related to PTSD. I am so glad I eventually tried it because it did have a lasting effect on some unpleasant symptoms I was experiencing. I ended up doing several sessions with Kristin and now I microdose here and there, mainly for the energy boost I get from Kambo. The symptoms of PTSD are not even a thing anymore, I’d highly recommend anyone dealing with trauma or just looking for an effective way to feel good to try Kambo. The stuff works.

  • Cari L.

    I highly recommend Kristin as Kambo practitioner. Aside of being an incredible practitioner, Kristin is a highly intuitive person, which is great for integration of the medicine if you’re working toward a longer-term goal.

  • Dave P.

    Working with Kambo for the first time with Kristin was a great experience. Very knowledgeable, friendly and overall a great experience. I’m looking forward to future Kambo ceremonies with Kristin. Highly recommend it.

  • Allison B.

    I was introduced to Kristin and the sacred practice of Kambo in winter of 2022. I was on the verge of death in mind, spirit and body. After years of trauma, grief and unconsciously living in constant fight/flight mode, I stepped into my first Kambo session with an open heart and mind. Kristin facilitated a safe and harmonious space with patience, knowledge and grace. She provided a bridge between my first step in acknowledging what I knew needed to heal with the art of Kambo. With every ceremony comes a different and unique experience as she gives permission for me to discover myself and the medicine without bias.

    Kristin meets you with a mindful, gentle, knowledgeable and honest nature. I’m honored and grateful to continue my path of wellness and healing with such a profound practitioner!

    Forever thankful,
    Allison

FAQs

Is Kambo poisonous?

While Kambo comes from the secretions of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, it is not toxic when administered correctly by trained practitioners. The peptides in Kambo may cause strong physiological reactions, but they are not harmful when used appropriately.

Is Kambo a miracle cure?

While Kambo has been used traditionally for various health conditions, it is not a cure-all or a miracle treatment. Its effects can vary depending on individual factors, and it should be viewed as part of a holistic approach to health and well-being rather than a standalone solution.

Does Kambo have side effects?

Yes, Kambo can cause a range of side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and fever. These side effects are typically short-lived and part of the detoxification process. However, individuals may experience more severe reactions or complications in rare cases.

Is the phyllomedusa bicolor frog endangered?

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) endangered species database lists them in the “least concern” category, in view of their current wide distribution and large population.

Is Kambo a hallucinogen?

No, Kambo is not a hallucinogen. While it can induce intense experiences and altered states of consciousness, these effects are typically attributed to its physiological actions rather than psychedelic properties.

Is Kambo safe for everyone?

While Kambo is generally considered safe when administered by trained practitioners, it may not be suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as heart conditions or severe mental health disorders, should avoid Kambo or consult with a healthcare professional before participating.

Do practitioners read vomit during a Kambo session?

No, practitioners do not read or interpret vomit during a Kambo session. While purging is a common physiological response to Kambo administration, it is not viewed as a form of divination or used for diagnostic purposes by practitioners. The focus is on the physical and energetic effects of the Kambo treatment rather than the contents of the purge.

Is the phyllomedusa bicolor frog harmed during secretion collection?

No, the frogs are not harmed during secretion collection. After being carefully and ethically collected, each frog is uniquely marked for identification before being released back into its natural habitat. Once a frog has contributed its secretion, it is never reused for further collections.

Is Kambo addictive?

Kambo does not contain addictive substances, and there is no evidence to suggest that it leads to dependence or addiction. However, some individuals may find the experience intense or challenging, leading to a desire to repeat the process for therapeutic purposes.

Can only indigenous tribes administer Kambo?

No, Kambo is now practiced by trained practitioners worldwide. However, it is essential to seek out experienced and reputable practitioners to ensure safe and effective administration.

Is Kambo only for physical healing?

While Kambo is known for its physical detoxification properties, it can also have emotional, mental, and spiritual effects. Many people report feeling a sense of clarity, emotional release, and spiritual connection after Kambo sessions, in addition to physical benefits.
