Depression & Anxiety
Addiction Support
Addiction support is something very close to me.
Fertility
Last year I found out my first client to come for conception via IVF support was successful.
Mother-to-be was in her early 40’s, was taking medication for anxiety and depression, (incl. Benzodiazapam, SSRIs), had a history of failed transfers and miscarriage, had time and resources for 3 more attempts at a transfer and never took Kambo before.
We started treatment, focusing on weaning from the medication. This process included sitting with kambo, waiting a few days to allow any ripple effects to settle and then decrease the amount.
Sessions were more in depth, getting to know each other, familiarizing her with the kambo process, working with somatics and holding space for grief (generally what’s waiting underneath the medication).
Sittings with sessions had a mix of layered to traditional approaches & during the follow up check ins, we were able to assess and find a sweet spot of approach that suited her sitting with the kambo and continue on an, for the most part, upward trajectory.
The weaning was steady and gradual, with a brief retaking of the benzodiazapam as work stress produced a need to temporarily restore a sense of balance and functionality. We also worked around the breath.
Along this time, the night after a Kambo, the client had a dream where she saw her self standing on the side of a mountain, radiant and in her power. This came with a huge shift in confidence and belief that deepened and grew as treatment went on.
Second phase of the treatment was after a few months, where we focused on, shorter sittings with kambo and working through ‘the fertility protocol‘. This is a set 3 sitting process, where by certain meridian channels and auricular points are worked with, that target clearing and opening the reproductive/hormonal systems that Chinese practitioners have used in acupuncture for centuries.
Following the treatment there was a time of silence that I respected, allowing the client space to go for her transfer and process whatever the outcome would be. There were a few times where I would remember and feel to check in but left it until over a year later where Mother shared that her first transfer was successful and that baby girl was 8months well and healthy.
Some take aways to highlight:
Each individual (& or couple) will have their own process.
There’s a degree of surrender that naturally comes with the ebbs and flows of a treatment process, whereby we maintain a vision on the best possible outcome, while remaining present with what is at hand.
Self Compassion and adaptability play huge roles in this.
Science aside, I trust there is a magical, spiritual component to how Kambo works.
This is in essence the spiritual component that I feel
