Raising standards through training, relationship and support.
The KPA is a UK-based global practitioner community founded by Lewis Powell, focused on responsible Kambo practice and continuing mentorship.
Who we are
The Kambo Practitioner Alliance brings together practitioners who share a commitment to clear screening, careful preparation, ethical sourcing, accountable practice and continuing education. Membership is more than a certificate: it is an ongoing relationship with a professional community.
Integrity
Respectful practice, realistic communication and clear responsibility to clients and the wider community.
Community
Ongoing mentorship, peer learning and a pathway for practitioners to deepen their experience over time.
Connection with the Matsés
KPA's work is shaped by an ongoing relationship with the Matsés, who are among the traditional stewards of Kambo. The alliance is committed to respectful sourcing, reciprocity and keeping the origins of the practice visible within modern training.
