FAQ
How do I book a session?
If you're looking to schedule or drop in about kambo, it is best to text or call me at 385-448-6563. Once we decide on a day, I will ask that you send half payment up front to book preferably through venmo. This is non-refundable, as it takes time to prepare and move my schedule around. Deposit can go towards a future session if looking to reschedule.
How long is the ceremony?
For private 1:1 sessions, anywhere from 1.5 - 3 hours. Time varies as people join, full 6 person group ceremony may last anywhere from 3-6 hours.
Where does the ceremony take place?
I currently am serving the state of Utah. Since I'm only visiting I am available for house calls (coming to you) and if that is an issue we can discuss options. Travel fees may apply depending how far you live.
I normally facilitate ceremonies on the Big Island of Hawaii in Papa'aloa on the Hamakua Coast. With a panoramic view of the ocean, and an abundance of nature and animals on the property, you will have plenty of space to connect with pachamama. I am also available for booking house calls upon request with an extra fee for travel time.
I have a health condition, is it safe for me to do Kambo?
Contact me to drop in further about this question. There are many conditions that Kambo can improve, and there are also contraindications that are not safe to take Kambo with.

How many people are in a group ceremony?
There may be 2 - 6 people in a group session.
Is Kambo legal?
Yes, there are no laws against possessing or receiving Kambo. It is a non-psychoactive substance.
Does Kambo make you hallucinate?
No, Kambo is non-psychoactive and non-psychedelic. The experience is very much in your body.
What is your cancellation policy?
Once you book your session, I do not offer a refund of the security deposit. It takes time to prepare and move my schedule around, and this helps me know you are committed to showing up for this work. Deposit can go towards future sessions.
How long do the effects of Kambo last?
Once administered, effects are felt within 2 minutes, and typically last anywhere from 15 - 40 minutes depending how deep you go.
Will there be a bathroom nearby?
Yes, there will be a toilet easily accessible.
Is the secretion from the frogs harvested ethically?
Yes, the sticks that I have are from a medicine family that live in Peru and are in close relation to the Matses indigenous tribe. They easily catch the frogs at night while they are awake, then tie their legs up with strings, attached to sticks placed in the ground. Once they scrape the secretion off their back, they release them back into the wild unharmed.
Can you die from taking Kambo?
There are a few conditions that can be dangerous to take Kambo with, such as serious heart problems. There are questions I will ask you before you join the ceremony to make sure Kambo is safe for you. Of the hundreds of thousands of people who have worked with this secretion in the western world, there are very few documented deaths. All of these people had previous contraindications that were known to be unsafe to take Kambo with.
