Hello hello 🦋

​

My name is Maya, I'm a Kambô practitioner and holistic therapist, specialising in women's health, autoimmunity issues and mental wellness. My work is trauma-informed, rooted in safety, integrity, and confidentiality. So far I've had the privilege of over 800 Kambô servings (hard to count these days!).​

​

I have been serving Kambô for 6 years following a lengthy apprenticeship with my Western teacher Stephen, and learning primarily in the Huni Kuin lineage from Brazilian Amazon (as well as Yawanawá and Noke Koî). Additionally I've completed specialised training for autoimmunity and Lyme disease and am a founding member and mentor at the Kambo Practitioner Collective.

​

In my Kambo practice I combine Indigenous wisdom with science, evidence based research and compassionate, grounded and non-judgemental approach that puts YOU in the centre and the driving seat of your healing journey, where safety is the Nr 1 priority. 

​

In 2008 I graduated with a BSc in Integrative Healthcare at University of West London, which covered advanced studies of body work, pathophysiology, TCM, body energetics and functional diagnostics as well as counselling skills, hypnotherapy and integration. 

​​​ ​

Alongside my Kambô practice, I bring over 15 years of experience in Earth medicine and ceremonial work, including Peruvian shamanism, Ancient Egyptian mysticism, Vajrayana Buddhism and Mazatec traditions. Over the last 7 years, my focus has been on Amazonian medicines and sacred music, learning directly from the forest guardians—the Huni Kuin and Yawanawá. This path is a lifelong journey of study, healing, and deepening connection with nature and ancient traditions.

​​

I work closely with Indigenous communities in the Amazon and only use ethically and fairly traded medicines obtained directly from the source. I will be able to tell you exactly where the medicine comes from, who collected it and when. 

​

That's enough chat from me!

It's an immense gift and joy for me to be able to do this work and I'll be delighted to offer any assistance on your path. I look forward to connecting with you!
