Hi, I'm Gareth
My journey with Kambo began when I was searching for a natural way to support my health. For years, I struggled with persistent allergies, low energy, and a generally weakened immune system. My experience with Kambo brought me a renewed sense of vitality, energy, and resilience that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
​
I received my training from the International Association of Kambo Practitioners (IAKP), an organisation that teaches through the wisdom passed down from the Matsés tribe of Peru, the original stewards of this sacred medicine. I hold this lineage with deep respect and gratitude, honouring the traditional practices that form the foundation of Kambo.
​
Each ceremony I host is rooted in respect, tradition, and a deep commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment. Before we begin, I ensure you feel completely safe and comfortable. Once the process begins, I step back to allow you and the Kambo to work together, letting the medicine guide you toward the healing you need. However, I am always present and ready to support you if you need assistance at any point during the ceremony.
​
My ceremonies are held in the 2nd district of Vienna, in the comfort of my home. After the ceremony, I’ll serve you tea and fruit to help you regain energy, and we can take some time to reflect on your experience. Sharing what came up for you can help integrate the process into your everyday life, but it’s equally fine if you prefer to keep your thoughts to yourself.
​
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to facilitate this magical experience for those seeking healing. It is truly my honour to hold space for your journey of growth, renewal, and self-discovery.
My Story
For as long as I can remember, health has been my number one passion in life. As a personal trainer for over 12 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people get fit, improve their well-being, and discover the incredible potential of their bodies. My fascination with how the body works and how we can heal from illness has always driven me. But my own journey to wellness has been far from easy.
​
I spent much of my life battling chronic asthma and severe allergies to pollen, animals, dust, and certain foods. My immune system was in overdrive just to keep me functioning, but even the slightest trigger—a cold, an infection—could knock me down for days. The asthma medication I relied on daily brought its own set of challenges. The frequent doses of adrenaline and cortisol left me in a constant state of stress, my stomach was always irritated, and despite training regularly, I found myself growing weaker.
​
In the winter of 2019, I realised I could no longer live like this. I refused to accept a life dictated by symptoms and medications that only masked the problem without addressing its root cause. My intuition told me that nature held the answer. This determination led me to plant medicines, starting with ayahuasca.
​
Ayahuasca helped me cure my asthma by revealing its root cause—a traumatic event from my childhood. During the ceremony, I was shown exactly what I needed to do to overcome this event. By facing and releasing this trauma, I experienced an instant and profound transformation in my body. It felt as though I was using my lungs for the very first time, and I was left in awe of what had just happened.
​
This experience completely changed my perspective on health and healing. It made me realise how powerful the human body truly is—far beyond what we are often led to believe. Ayahuasca showed me that natural medicines can be indispensable tools in helping us uncover our innate ability to heal and transform ourselves.
​
Soon after, I discovered Kambo. I was initially drawn to it as a potential remedy for my debilitating allergies, which had severely impacted my energy levels. I was amazed to find that a single session eliminated my symptoms for the entire pollen season. It gave me back my energy, vitality, and a renewed sense of hope. Despite the fear of facing the discomfort of the ceremony, I kept returning to Kambo because the results were undeniable.
​
Kambo didn’t just help me physically—it became a powerful tool for personal growth. The ceremonies taught me resilience and courage, qualities I realised were missing in my life. While my experiences with Kambo were often challenging and exhausting, they gave me a deep sense of achievement and strength that carried over into every aspect of my life. For me, leaning into the struggle was where the real healing happened. There is immense growth to be found in facing discomfort and emerging on the other side stronger.
​
I believe in Kambo as a medicine because it empowers the body’s natural healing abilities in a way that modern approaches often overlook. While conventional medicine has its strengths, it frequently focuses on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of our health challenges—an approach that, in my view, falls short of true wellness. Kambo offers a different path, working holistically to support the immune system and promote balance without the unwanted side effects that can accompany many medications. It’s a powerful ally that helps us tap into our body’s innate wisdom, fostering healing that feels both natural and sustainable.
​
This transformation in my health inspired me to share this medicine with others. I knew I wasn’t alone in dealing with chronic health challenges. Many of my clients at the gym were managing their conditions with long-term medications, often facing persistent symptoms and side effects. Seeing this motivated me to explore how Kambo could provide an alternative path to support health and well-being. To ensure I could offer this medicine safely and responsibly, I completed a two-week intensive training course with the IAKP, learning how to serve Kambo in a supportive and secure environment.
Since then, I’ve been serving Kambo to people in Vienna, helping them discover its transformative potential. Facilitating Kambo ceremonies has become a true calling for me, and I am honoured to help others discover the transformative potential of this medicine.
​
Kambo has been an invaluable friend on my journey—a guide that has not only helped me heal but also encouraged me to grow in ways I never imagined possible. It’s this profound transformation that inspires me to share Kambo with others.
