Why Choose a KPA Practitioner?

In recent years, Kambo has gained significant and widespread attention. This is fantastic in some regards as Kambo is a powerful transformative tool; however, widespread attention also attracts widespread use. The problem here lies with the rise of untrained or improperly trained practitioners. The effectiveness and safety of Kambo depend greatly on the expertise of the practitioner administering it. This is where the Kambo Practitioner Alliance (KPA) shines, harnessing a decade of experience to provide unparalleled support and guidance for those seeking this ancient Amazonian remedy.


The Kambo Practitioner Alliance sets the gold standard for safety, efficacy, and ethical practice in the Kambo community. With over 10 years of experience, the founder and primary teacher of KPA, Lewis Powell, has dedicated his life to understanding and harnessing the healing potential of Kambo. His journey has involved many years of study under different indigenous lineages to learn the ancient wisdom and rituals surrounding Kambo and other plant medicines, developing the relationships needed to form a professional organization that supports these indigenous tribes, ensures safe practice, and ensures the ethical sourcing of the medicine, all while maintaining the highest integrity.



As the primary teacher of the Kambo Practitioner Alliance, Lewis Powell oversees the comprehensive training program that aspiring practitioners must complete. This training is rigorous and demanding, encompassing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Students undergo extensive study of Kambo’s history, traditional uses, and pharmacological properties, as well as thorough training in safe administration techniques and protocols.


Upon completion of the training program, students are required to demonstrate proficiency in administering Kambo through supervised practice sessions and assessments. Only those who meet the stringent standards set by the Kambo Practitioner Alliance are certified as KPA Kambo Practitioners, ensuring that they possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and ethical understanding to provide safe and effective care to their clients.


One of the key benefits of working with a KPA Kambo Practitioner is the comprehensive support they offer throughout the healing journey. From initial consultations to post-session integration, KPA practitioners provide personalized guidance and care every step of the way. This includes thorough assessments of each client’s physical and emotional health, as well as ongoing support to address any challenges that may arise during the healing process.


Moreover, the Kambo Practitioner Alliance has forged a partnership with the Matsés tribe, who have been stewards of Kambo medicine in the Amazon rainforest for generations. Through this partnership, the KPA can guarantee that the Kambo they provide is harvested sustainably and ethically, in harmony with the natural environment.

The Kambo Practitioner Alliance also plays a vital role in community education and advocacy. Lewis Powell’s commitment to raising awareness about the benefits of Kambo therapy is now leading to collaborations with healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers with a vision to integrate this ancient healing practice into mainstream healthcare systems. Through workshops, seminars, and outreach programs, KPA Kambo Practitioners are working tirelessly to destigmatize Kambo and promote its safe and responsible use.



Furthermore, the Kambo Practitioner Alliance offers a comprehensive way to advance as a practitioner. Practitioners can work towards Master practitioners after completing an advanced course and many months or years of case studies, showcasing their deep knowledge and practice of the medicine in a professional way. This also opens up the potential to complete a teaching program that requires a minimum of 3 years of study, assisting on courses and training to understand the complexities and nuances of the course structure.


In conclusion, the importance of working with a KPA Kambo Practitioner cannot be overstated. By prioritizing safety, efficacy, and ethical practice, the Kambo Practitioner Alliance is paving the way for a future where ancient wisdom and modern science converge to create a world of healing possibilities.
