OUR KAMBO CEREMONIES
A Modern Approach to an Ancient Practice
At The Kambo Clinic, we offer a contemporary and carefully structured version of the traditional Kambo ceremony.
Our unique approach combines conscious coaching, trauma-informed care, and a calm ceremonial environment. Each session includes emotional preparation, the Kambo application, deep rest, nourishment, and integration.
We honour the wisdom of the Amazon and work respectfully with the Matsés tribe, who harvest the secretion we work with. However, we do not imitate indigenous rituals or claim to be shamans. In our sessions, we do not sing, drum, or use additional plant medicines such as Hapé or Sananga. While we are trained in these modalities, we choose to focus solely on Kambo, intentionally, powerfully, and ethically.
Our approach supports deep, long-term personal transformation, especially for individuals who feel that other approaches have not yet reached what they are carrying.
What to Expect
Each session lasts up to 4 hours. The Kambo application itself typically takes 20–40 minutes. The remaining time is dedicated to coaching, nervous system recalibration, integration, rest, and nourishment.
We create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can fully release what no longer serves you, physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Booking Your Ceremony
Appointments are available 7 days a week, with morning, afternoon, and evening options. Booking and payment are completed online.
Once your session is booked, Claire Anstey, founder and lead practitioner, will personally contact you to conduct a health screening and discuss your reasons for attending. This ensures your session is aligned with your goals and needs.
Unless otherwise stated, Claire will be your Kambo practitioner throughout.

Ceremony Overview
The Setting
We provide bottled water, yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, blankets, and your own bucket for the purge. The space is calm, grounded and gently supported with music. 1:1 clients may bring their own playlist if preferred.
Opening the Session
We begin with a guided meditation and intention-setting to prepare both your conscious and unconscious mind to release what is no longer needed. We use light hypnotic techniques to help your body open and work with Kambo on a deep cellular level. The space is then energetically cleansed with sage.
Private sessions also include up to one hour of personal coaching with Claire Anstey within your appointment time. This focused time is not included in group sessions.
The Kambo Process
Your practitioner creates small ‘gates’ — tiny superficial burns (no blood) — where the Kambo will be applied
You’ll drink 1.5–2 litres of water to support the purge
The Kambo is mixed with water and applied in small dots to the gates
The secretion begins working within minutes
What You May Experience
Heat or facial flushing
Increased heart rate
Dizziness, shaking, or emotional release
Nausea, vomiting, or bowel movement
Crying, euphoria, or deep mental clarity
The intense phase typically lasts 20–40 minutes. Your practitioner remains by your side throughout — calmly observing, supporting and guiding the process. You are always safe, respected and deeply held.
Advanced & Personalised Ceremonies
After your first session, we offer advanced protocols tailored to your unique emotional, energetic and physical needs.
Using ancient systems, we apply Kambo to specific points mapped along:
Meridian Lines (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
Chakras & Nadis (Yogic Energy Systems)
Marma Points (Ayurvedic Practice)
Auricular Kambo (Ear point stimulation for nervous system and subtle energetic release)

Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation
Emotional wounds and unresolved experiences

The Kambo Breakthrough Challenge: 3 Sessions in 28 Days
Traditional Wisdom. Modern Practice. Lasting Change.
For those ready to commit to profound personal change, The Kambo Breakthrough Challenge offers three Kambo ceremonies within 28 days — a structure rooted in traditional Amazonian practice and adapted for modern clients.
This approach allows each session to build upon the last, progressively clearing physical tension, emotional residue, and energetic blocks.
Session One — opens the body and initiates the process
Session Two — deepens the release and emotional reset
Session Three — integrates and anchors the shift
By completing the series within one lunar cycle, you maintain momentum and prevent old patterns from re-establishing. This programme is particularly sought by those working through long-held patterns, chronic stress, or seeking a significant personal reset.
Kambo Is Not a Psychedelic
There are no visions or altered states. You will not revisit emotional memories. Kambo works directly with the body’s wisdom to clear what has been held.
There is no need to analyse, decode, or interpret what happens. The work is done. You simply let go.
Rest & Recovery
After your purge, you’ll rest for 30–60 minutes. Music continues to play, and you are welcome to sleep, journal, or lie quietly. Some clients feel energised; others feel deeply relaxed. Rest is essential. It allows your nervous system to settle and your energetic field to integrate the shift.
Post-Ceremony Nourishment
A nourishing vegan meal is provided after your session. This includes fruit, soup, crackers, hummus, and herbal tea. This helps to stabilise blood sugar, replace electrolytes, and ground your body after the ceremony.
It’s also a time for reflection. You’ll receive post-session support and gentle integrative guidance to help you set intentions for the days ahead.
Meals are individually packaged and can be enjoyed onsite or taken home.
Aftercare & Integration
Your Kambo Gates
We apply Dragon’s Blood — a natural healing resin from the Amazon — to seal your gates and support healing. The burns are light, and most clients experience no lasting marks. Treat them as you would a mosquito bite — avoid scratching, and allow scabs to fall off naturally.
Ongoing Support
Your practitioner will follow up within 24–48 hours via email. You’re welcome to reach out at any time.
Kambo does not require psychedelic-style integration. You do not need to process or revisit the session. You left your past on the mat and in the bucket.
Your focus now is to live differently. Observe what has changed. Notice the shifts — in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self.
We’re here to support you, but trust your body and your path. You are no longer stuck. You are moving forward.
