How Kambo found me:

Nanci with a frogI first heard about Kambo in 2012 on one of my trips to Peru.  At the time, I was already working with 2 other Shamanic medicines, Ayahuasca, and San Pedro.  I was invited to partake in a Kambo ceremony but as I like to do- I work with one type of medicine at a time.  This went on for several years- just me, and Mother Ayahuasca and Grandfather, San Pedro.  Many times Kambo presented itself to me- through conversations in my medicinal circles, to coming to be in dreams.  I could feel the call, and I couldn’t wait any longer my life had taken me on a series of twists and turns and it was time.  I had been suffering from endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and uterine fibroids for years.  Plant medicines DID in fact help, but I wanted to try working with Kambo to see where this could further my healing.  When I had my first ceremony, I knew instantly that this was my medicine. This was the key I was looking for.  I did 2 ceremonies in 1 day for the first time.  I know, it seems crazy, but I trusted the process, and the way that life changed for me after- was nothing more than magical.  My pain, that I have been dealing with for 25 years- was gone.  I was able to have a moon cycle without an ounce of pain.  This simple yet drastic change from the “norm” completely transformed my being.  I had to keep going, and work with Kambo further.  I had several more ceremonies with a few different practitioners- and Kambo did exactly what it was supposed to do.

The Roaming Alchemist:

I was raised in a very unique way.  I grew up in a log home in the middle of the woods.  When there were no friends to play with, I became more connected with nature, and the life around me in plants and animals.  I was forever catching frogs, and salamanders- naming them, and having a bond with them.  I would go on solo hikes for hours in the woods, and talk to the plants and trees, and sing to the birds.  I found comfort in the forrest, especially when my teen life was chaotic.  My life has been quite magical- the name of my company comes from my desire to travel everywhere, and see everything- and transform my experiences and findings, into magic for others.  I like to collect dried herbs, from other parts of the world- and create something that can heal.  The body can and will heal itself- given an environment that is brought into balance.  I believe in balance in all things, and that is what I’m creating with The Roaming Alchemist.  I have always been a healer of sorts- since I was very young.  I have always gone out of my way to help people with addiction, and with any problems they may have, to bring them into balance.  This has all proved to be a natural progression, and forged my path in life as a forever budding herbalist, with Kambo as my boss.

My motto is, “Get out of your own way”— that was my biggest takeaway in all of my life lessons.  I want to be able to remind you that you have the power to do the same.

Aho!
