Kambô
Begin your sacred path here. What is Kambô
Kambô is a tribal practice originating in South America. The medicine I serve comes from the Matsés tribe, who live in the northeastern Peruvian Amazon.
Kambô refers to the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, which contains bioactive peptides that interact with receptors throughout the nervous, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. Kambô is known to help rid the body of pathogens, boost the immune system and promote wellness.
People often experience a physical reset after kambô, reporting reduced inflammation, pain relief, mental clarity, and strengthened vitality. Kambô can be profoundly transformative.
Kambô is known for producing an intense and purgative experience, however, gentle non-purgative dosing can also be beneficial and supportive.
❋ Consultation + Intake ProcessTo begin your kambô journey, first complete an intake form. Once submitted, you will be redirected to schedule a consultation call on Zoom. This call lasts about one hour. Bring your questions and intentions.
❋ LocationEllwood City, Pennsylvania, located approximately one hour from Pittsburgh, PA and one hour from Youngstown, Ohio. Many clients travel from other states to be served, and Liz has been called to serve in other places.
❋ Experienced Facilitator + GuideServing since 2021, each client is fully screened through a comprehensive intake form, intake call, and preparation steps. Ceremonies are never rushed or forced, and guidance is available throughout your integration after ceremony.
❋ Philosophy of Medicine WorkI believe in walking the medicine path with patience and diligence. Our consultation call is more than a safety screening, it is an opportunity to feel on both sides if we are well-matched to work with one another.
❋ Private + Group SittingsI serve individuals in a 1:1 setting and small groups.
❋ Retreats and Sacred JourneysPersonalized Day Retreats can be created combining kambô and other services.
Journeys to Colombia to work with the UrkuShasta Family and their elders are organized regularly.
About Liz
My kambô journey began at a time when I was searching for physical and internal strength. I received my first kambô in February 2021, and in August 2021, I began training to carry this medicine for myself, and to share it with others. I have found kambô beneficial to balance the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. I have felt the enhanced senses and endurance that kambô is known to provide. I have done transformative inner child work through this medicine. I have witnessed many people let go of dark and heavy energies. I have witnessed people heal their bodies in amazing ways. I have seen that kambô can open the door to a deeper spiritual path.
I serve traditional purgative doses, and I also specialize in small, gentle dosing. I recognize that not everyone desires an intense and purgative experience. Gentle dosing can create profound physical, emotional, and spiritual changes.
In gentle dosing, clients are able to go into a deep place of stillness and rest. That’s also our true center and the place where our Inner Wisdom is found.
I’m able to meet a client wherever they are without pushing or forcing any process. There’s no need to rush the process or go too fast on the medicine path.
My approach is to serve in a grounded way that allows each client to develop a balanced relationship with the medicine that empowers their healing journey.
I'm grateful for the trust my clients place in me as they navigate their healing and personal+spiritual growth.
“Nothing but good news
There is a frog in South America
Whose venom is a cure
For all the suffering that mankind
Must endure
More powerful than morphine
And soothing as the rain
A frog in South America
Has the antidote for pain
That's the way it's always been”
-Paul Simon, Señorita with a Necklace of Tears
What should I expect during a kambô ceremony?
Kambô feels like ‘fire running through your veins’. Kambô’s peptides will produce physically intense sensations when they are working within the human body. Kambô is a vasodilator, causing a flushing sensation of heat while the heart rate and blood pressure increases. Once this peaks, the heart rate slows, blood pressure decreases, and exhaustion, discomfort and cramping occurs. Feelings of exhaustion, cramping, clamminess, faintness, are common, and purging often occurs. People purge through vomiting, sweating, yawning, crying, sighing, yelling, needing to use the bathroom, etc. The full process and purging with kambô typically lasts between 30-60 minutes.
Gentle dosing with kambô will include a mild version of the sensations listed above, without much discomfort or purging.
