I'm Ben, and my relationship with Kambo began in the Peruvian Amazon nearly a decade ago. That first experience was challenging, but it sparked a deep curiosity about the Phyllomedusa bicolor (Giant Monkey Frog) and the bioactive peptides that drive its unique effects. Intrigued by the intersection of traditional wisdom and biological research, I returned to the Amazon to stay in a remote village, joining night hunts and observing the frog in its natural habitat.
Seeing how the Matsés and local villagers utilized this gift for health and stamina gave me a profound respect for the lineage. This inspired me to become a certified practitioner with the IAKP (International Association of Kambo Practitioners). Today, I am honoured to serve this tradition as a Kambo practitioner in Christchurch and across New Zealand, guiding those who feel called to this unique experience.
My goal is to provide a safe, professional space while dispelling misconceptions about this Amazonian treasure. For updates and insights into the process, you can follow me on Instagram and Facebook 📷
I look forward to helping you discover what it means to be Kambo Strong 🐸💪🏼
