What is Kambo?
Kambo, revered as the "vaccine of the jungle," is a traditional Amazonian medicine celebrated for its ability to promote profound physical and emotional healing affecting the body in powerful, transformative ways.
Collected from the skin secretions of the Giant Monkey Frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor), this secretion contains bioactive peptides with potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-boosting properties. These compounds have been shown to positively impact the body's neurological, vascular, immune, and gastrointestinal systems. When administered by a trained practitioner, Kambo is a safe, legal option for those seeking to enhance their overall health and well-being. Check out the FAQs below for more detailed inforamtion.
Meet the Kamboist
Hi I’m Bernadette your Kambo advocate, also known as The Kamboist.
My very first experience with Kambo was life-changing. It awakened a deeper connection to my body. I became attuned to its needs, rhythms, and wisdom, which allowed me to care for myself with clarity, presence, and alignment.
This shift sparked a calling: not only to continue my own healing journey but to support my mother, who was experiencing unexplained symptoms that the Western medical system couldn't resolve. Feeling the call to study and become a practitioner in 2019, led me into the jungles of Peru, where I trained with the Matsés tribe, the sacred stewards of these beautiful allies.
My training included a month-long initiation of serving and receiving Kambo every other day, in addition to a 10-day Kambo dieta in isolation. I then stayed on to serve the Matsés community for several months afterward, deepening both my skills and my relationship with the medicine.
How I hold the medicine is in intimate 1:1 sessions + small groups. This honors my training and creates a safe, grounded space where the medicine can be held with the utmost presence, care, and reverence.
