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.

Whether you're navigating chronic illness, emotional blockages, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, I’m here to guide you with clarity and compassion. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your journey is uniquely yours and I’m honored to support you in exploring what’s possible.

Thank you for being here. If you're curious or have questions, please don’t hesitate to schedule a consult or fill out the info form below. I’m based in California and regularly travel to work with clients in Los Angeles, Bay Area, Nevada City, and surrounding regions.

It’s a privilege to walk this path. May your healing journey be one of courage, transformation, and deep remembering.

In service and good medicine,

Bernadette
The Kamboist 💚
