Where It All Began..
In order to understand how I came to this place of serving medicine, I will share a brief introduction to my story of where it all began for me.

When I was a little girl I felt deeply about the world around me. I didn’t understand it at the time but I was very sensitive to energy. I couldn’t at the time navigate life in the way that supported a healthy emotional and physical lifestyle. In turn I seemed to be in a mild place of depression, anxiety and a sense of not belonging in this world.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to be in a helping profession. And having a sick father who was always in and out of the hospital created a desire to be there for others in the same way the Nurse’s were there for my father. So I decided to become a Registered Nurse.

As I navigated the hospital world it became clear to me that this was not the way of real healing for me. I wanted to understand why so many people were getting sick and not better with western medicine.

My first experience with alternative medicine was an Ayahuasca ceremony in Peru in 2014. This started a deep healing journey for me. I sat with Ayahuasca a few more times thereafter. Although I received much clarity there was still something that was missing for me.

In 2018 I went on a search to find a practitioner that served Kambo. I had heard about it from someone in Peru so I thought I would give it a try. After one session I received this mental clarity that I had never felt before. Peace, is the one word I can describe it as. The following day I went for another session. I felt as if my soul was being cleansed, releasing everything that didn’t serve me. Kambo guided me to find the strength to stand in my own true self, to see myself as a beautiful sensitive soul and the understanding that I DO belong in this world and I DO matter. After this realization, I decided I wanted to learn and understand this medicine more and to help others to realize their own truth, their own worth, and their own strength

Not long after sitting with Kambo I found Bufo, or Bufo found me. The first few sessions were incredibly loving but this deep fear within me surfaced. As much as I kept sitting with the medicine I was always terrified of going deeper. But Bufo had plans for me that I had yet to understand. I kept going, kept pushing against my fear, kept releasing by crying, sitting and feeling all the emotions that kept arising within me.

Kambo cleared me to see the messages of Bufo. The message of love, of unity and of one consciousness.

In 2021, after many years of sitting with different plant and amphibian medicines I embarked on my journey to study both Kambo and Bufo. By experiencing my own path to love I now serve both medicines so that I can also help others to do the same.

“The only truth you will ever need to know is the one you hold deep within yourself.”
