I first came to kambo in 2014. I was in a particularly dark place in my life and had lost any hope that my life would improve. I was working away from home, not seeing my partner and children and despite the fact that from the outside my life looked good, I had a good career in academia and was a successful artist, inside I was withering away. I felt like I had lost my way in life and didn’t know how to get back on track.

It was then, on the last day of a holiday with my son that a “chance” encounter with a young man in a Prague restaurant led me to Kambo. This young man told me about his experience with a strange frog medicine called kambo and of how it had helped HIM leave an unfulfilling job and pursue his childhood dream.

As an academic, I was dubious about this medicine but was intrigued that this man’s life journey had been significantly and positively impacted and that he put this down to Kambo. A few months later, feeling even more stuck and frustrated i contacted the man and asked if he knew of a Kambo practitioner in the UK, i took part in a Kambo ceremony and my world changed forever. the darkness and depression I had been experienced lifted and with subsequent treatments I felt my physical and mental health improve significantly.

after receiving kambo twice I signed up to the IAKP’s basic practitioner training and shortly after completing the training i left academia and started working with kambo. ten years on and I work full-time as a master kambo practitioner and trainer. my life is full of a positivity that I couldn’t have imagined prior to finding kambo. I love what this medicine has done for me in giving me back a really good version of myself that had got lost under the strain and struggle of everyday life. I love to see the positive impact it has had on my clients and students.

In addition to Kambo I have trained as an auricular therapist (ear acupuncture) and facial acupuncturist. I have studied non-violent communication and re-evaluation co counselling and these are all skillsets that I bring to kambo to provide you with the deepest healing experience that I can.

If you feel called either to receive kambo or to train to be a practitioner please reach out and contact me. it will be my pleasure to work with you on your healing journey.
