CRR Kambô

There’s no single reason to come to Kambô and no precise experience or outcome can be promised.

In my experience it’s a powerful natural medicine if you keep an open mind. The beauty is its adaptability and holistic nature.

The abundance of bioactive peptides is very appealing, but it’s more than that — the intelligence of nature helping us on a mind, body and soul level. The spirit of nature.

There are different ways to apply Kambô. Alongside normal treatments there are layered, intensive, auricular, chakra, meridian and specialised treatments, which can be utilised for different purposes depending on your individual needs.

For me, it’s most important to meet each person where they are, listen to why they’ve come and provide a calm and supportive space in which they can have their own process.

When you arrive, there’s time to settle in, talk through the process and ask any questions. We begin the ceremony. You drink water and small superficial burns called gates are made on the outermost layer of the skin. The medicine is applied.

The effects can begin quickly and may include heat, flushing, change in blood pressure, nausea and purging. This usually lasts 20–30 minutes, then there’s time to rest, recover and gently come back to yourself.

We close the ceremony, have some food and talk through your process if you wish.

I’ll be available following the ceremony to talk through anything that comes up. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for things to become clearer as the experience settles.

With the highs and lows of life, I’ve found Kambô can help put things in perspective and get a clearer picture. You might notice a benefit quickly, or the experience may bring things to the surface that take time to work through and unpack. There’s a possibility some symptoms may get more noticeable as they are being processed.

In my own experience, I’ve had results that felt immediate in the days around a ceremony, and also things shaken up that took weeks to process, but the overall changes and lightening of the heart have been profound.

Each treatment is unique, so I find it helpful to let go of expectations about specific results and trust the process as it unfolds.

I was suffering at the time with some negative effects from plant medicine ceremonies I’d been to which were not safely held spaces, and having just gone through topical steroid withdrawal had left me a bit shaken and bashed up. A bit stuck physically and mentally, the harsh aspects of life had taken a toll and I was looking for something to help outside of my normal lifestyle.

I fell in love with Kambô after the second treatment because I could see and feel that it was working in many ways, some unexpected. I attended more ceremonies and felt called to work with the medicine more deeply, learn more about it and hopefully, in time, be able to serve it. I want to help others who are having a rough time and looking for answers because I know what it’s like.

My own journey has been difficult at times. I’ve had issues with drug addiction and mental health from a young age until my early thirties when, at a low point, I asked God for help. My prayers were answered, and since then — nearly ten years — it’s been a journey of self-discovery. Not easy or straightforward, but certainly worthwhile.

It’s an honour to be working with this medicine. I hope you can join me on this journey of healing and self-discovery.

Love and freedom from suffering for all beings 🙏
