Kambo
When you’re stuck, heavy, or blocked and other healing practices aren’t reaching the root – Kambo works with your body’s existing systems to initiate deep cleansing and release.
Kambo is not casual work. It is a direct and potent medicine that can help clear what has become stagnant, heavy, or resistant to change — especially when other healing practices no longer seem to reach the root.
Kambo works with the body’s existing systems to initiate deep cleansing, activation, and release.
When offered in the right setting, with the right preparation and discernment, Kambo can be a profound catalyst for clarity, release, and realignment.
What Is Kambo?
Kambo is the secretion of the Giant Monkey Tree Frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor), used by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon and often referred to as vacina da floresta — “the vaccine of the forest.” Kambo has traditionally been used to clear panema, a term often understood as heavy, stagnant, or misaligned energy, and to support vitality, stamina, clarity, and focus.
Kambo works quickly and directly, interacting with the physical body while also moving through emotional and energetic layers where patterns can become stuck.
It is not a psychedelic and does not induce a hallucinogenic state, but it is still a powerful and immersive experience.
Kambo contains a range of bioactive peptides that interact with the body in a direct and immediate way. Rather than acting as an additive substance, these peptides activate and stimulate systems that are already present — influencing the digestive, lymphatic, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. This is part of why the experience is felt so strongly and so quickly.
The experience is driven by your body’s response — not by an external psychoactive effect.
Why People Work With Kambo
Kambo is often sought out when something deeper needs to move.
It can be especially supportive when someone feels too stuck, too heavy, or too blocked to access other healing practices effectively.
People are often drawn to this work when they are:
• feeling stagnant or energetically congested
• mentally foggy or emotionally overwhelmed
• holding onto patterns that are not shifting
• seeking a deeper reset or recalibration
• called toward a more direct, embodied healing experience
Kambo works through a physical cleanse while simultaneously impacting emotional and energetic layers. After a session, people often experience increased clarity, groundedness, energy, and a stronger connection to themselves.
This work is not offered as a medical treatment or a substitute for medical care.
Client Experiences
"I am incredibly grateful for Jenn's guidance throughout my Kambo journey. For months, I struggled with severe nerve pain in my neck and shoulders that gradually worsened to the point where I would find myself crying in the middle of the day. It was an awful way to live.
Two months after my session, my life has shifted in a profoundly positive way. I feel like I've unlocked a new level of potential that had been buried under chronic pain. What stood out most was her intuitive understanding—she didn't just focus on symptoms, but on the deeper root of what I was experiencing."
"I had been suffering from mouth ulcers and gallbladder problems for some time. I'm an older person with several medical complications. I was recommended this magical Kambo medicine and it has been profoundly transformative for me.
During the session, Jenn was always attentive and guided me with great sensitivity and respect. After the experience, I noticed mental clarity, lightness in my body, and a deeper connection with myself. Less physical pain, and I released burdens I didn't even know I was carrying."
Working with Jenn through multiple kambo ceremonies planted seeds that keep unfolding months later for me. I can now sing from an authentic place instead of trying to "perform," which feels like hearing my own true voice for the first time! I have the confidence to climb walls that I used to fear... and even got a beautiful dog I used to think would limit my freedom and be too hard to handle. After ceremony these kind of limiting beliefs fell away.
What stands out most to me is Jenn’s grounded, gentle way of holding space, because she really tunes in and left me the room I needed to learn how to empower myself. She helped me become more of who I truly am.
My Approach
I work with Kambo as a shamanic practitioner, not simply as a detox protocol.
My relationship with this medicine has been shaped through direct experience, training, dieta, and ceremony. I have dieted Kambo, worked directly with the frogs in the jungle, and overseen the ethical and harmless collection of the medicine I serve.
When I hold Kambo ceremony, I work in relationship with Frog Spirit through my dieta, prayer, and icaros.
I first began serving Kambo in 2020 and completed my formal training with Kambo Naturista in 2022.
My approach is grounded in reverence, discernment, safety, and respect for both the medicine and the individual receiving it.
This work is not about forcing an outcome or simply enduring the physical experience. Kambo reveals what is ready to move — physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually — and I hold that process accordingly.
What The Experience Is Like
A Kambo session is relatively short, but it is intense and direct.
We begin with a conversation, screening, and intention-setting. Small superficial points are opened on the skin, and the Kambo is applied. We begin with a single test point to assess your body’s response and determine the appropriate dose.
From there, the experience builds quickly. The body heats up, pressure increases, and the purge begins.
Purging is one of the primary ways Kambo works and typically involves vomiting and/or other forms of elimination. This process is driven by strong physiological responses within the body, including stimulation of digestion, circulation, and detoxification pathways.
After the process completes, there is often a noticeable shift.
People commonly feel clearer, quieter, lighter, more grounded, or more open. Some feel energized, while others feel the need for rest and integration.
Working With Kambo Over Time
Kambo is not a one-size-fits-all experience.
For some, a single session is exactly what is needed. For others, it can be beneficial to work with Kambo multiple times within a shorter period, especially when the process is unfolding in layers or deeper clearing is indicated.
I do not pre-sell multi-session packages for this work.
Instead, we determine the most supportive next steps based on how your body and process respond. Kambo tends to reveal its own rhythm, and I work in alignment with that rather than applying a fixed structure.
Safety & Screening
Kambo is not appropriate for everyone, and full transparency is required before we work together.
There are important contraindications and health considerations that must be reviewed prior to any session. This includes certain cardiovascular conditions, blood pressure concerns, neurological conditions, pregnancy, specific medications, and other situations where the physical intensity of Kambo may not be safe.
Kambo is not classified as an illegal substance in the United States, but it is a powerful bioactive secretion and must be approached with care, responsibility, and proper screening.
If you are under medical care, taking prescription medication, or have any relevant health history, you may need to speak with your doctor before being cleared to work with Kambo.
If there is any uncertainty, we slow down and assess carefully.
This work is offered with discernment, not urgency.
Preparation & Aftercare
Preparation is an essential part of the process.
This typically includes proper hydration, clean and mindful food choices leading up to the session, fasting beforehand, and avoiding substances that may interfere with the process.
After the session, rest, rehydration, nourishment, and space to integrate are all important. The body continues processing, and giving yourself time to settle and recalibrate supports the overall outcome.
Full preparation and aftercare guidance is provided once you are approved to work with Kambo.
