My Illness was my calling, a call to work as a healer.
My journey with Kambo started in 2017, but my work as a healer has been with me all my life. Following widespread pain and numbness, I had an MRI brain scan and several repeated blood 
tests. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and a cyst in my brain in 2012 that left me needing full-time care. I lost my mobility and feeling in most of the left side of my body. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was suspected, so a challenging time with my health started.
I was in chronic pain, incontinent with a long list of symptoms and unable to work. During this time, I was on various medications to try and control my symptoms and failing health. The medication was causing me severe side effects, but I had no option but to take high doses of painkillers that increased in dosage quickly. I was on 10ml of Morphine daily to allow me pain-free time to get going.
A pain clinic in Cambridgeshire taught me how to live with chronic pain as it became clear that I would suffer from it for the rest of my life.
It was at this point that my Neurologist told me that there was nothing else that could be done for me. I refused to believe this would be my life and returned to my roots, alternative therapies, spirituality and shamanism.
Through deep self-inquiry and spiritual research, I realised there was much more to these illnesses than I thought. My healing had to start at an emotional and spiritual level before any change would come into my physical body. I became disconnected from spirit, and this was my calling. I knew there were plant medicines that could help my symptoms, but I wanted to work with plants that would heal me on an emotional and spiritual level. I discovered past life regression, a method used and developed by “Deloris Cannon” called “QHHT”, and decided to start here. I went to a past life event that showed me I did bring some of the trauma and illness into this life. I did a lot of healing using the “QHHT.” I started experiencing some improvement in my health, but I knew there was a lot more work to be done. What was my calling, and why did this manifest in my life? I wondered.
I knew of African plant medicines, but Ayahuasca, a powerful medicine from the Amazon jungle that helped people heal emotionally and spiritually, came to mind. I felt the calling to work with this plant medicine. Because I was on a lot of medication contraindicated with Ayahuasca, I could not receive the treatment then, but it was a blessing.
I worked with my Doctor to stop the medication that wasn’t working for me anyway. Over a year, I finished all the drugs, and I was able to take Ayahuasca. From my first ceremony, healing started. I was able to release old, stuck trauma and heal the part of my life causing me to be unwell. It wasn’t a comfortable journey, but I am genuinely thankful. It’s not easy to look in the mirror and then go away to fix what you saw was wrong, but the rewards are incredible if you are willing to do so.
It was through Ayahuasca that I met the frog spirit. I didn’t know what this frog spirit meant, but I was told about Kambo. At this point, I healed my body significantly and could walk and function better, but I still had chronic leg pain.
I looked up Kambo and decided to sit with the medicine to see if something still needed releasing that I couldn’t do with other therapies. From my first treatment with Kambo, the pain in my legs went and has not returned.
I felt an incredible connection with Kambo, and the final stage of my healing was completed. I could release stuck energy stored in my body that I didn’t even know existed. I know about all of Kambo’s medical benefits, which certainly played a role in my healing. Still, the spiritual and emotional healing it facilitated was the shift I needed. I heard the calling to work with spirit, and I answered. I now live a healthy life better than ever before.
It’s through self-transformation that I now help others to do the same.
