All That Heals

In this episode Vanessa interviews world renowned Kambo Medicine Ceremony practitioner Ashley Brunette @kambo_ash all about her personal healing journey with deadly MRSA infection, and how Kambo medicine supported her healing journey tremendously and changed her life forever as she became one of the most sought after Kambo practitioners in Ontario, and throughout Canada. They discuss all about Kambo, what it is, its benefits, and Vanessa shares about her two first experiences in her Kambo Ceremonies with Ash and the ripple effects that took place in her life afterwards. Ash's Biography & Intentional Message for Listeners: "As an internationally based physical education teacher and coach for well over a decade, I held several enriching positions in a manner that allowed me to care for the health and well-being of students and team members. After a deadly MRSA infection physically halted my first passion, it propelled me into a yearlong devotion to healing myself from within. Through this journey, Kambo was the catalyst that brought change to the course of my life forever. This metamorphosis has embodied health in all facets, I have gained a deep respect and reverence for the peptide rich Kambo and a variety of therapeutic plant and animal extracts from around the world. I have come to honour and pay heed to my spirit and the path that it leads; allowing this knowledge to feed my soul with rich cultural experiences, training and practice. In March 2020, I travelled deep into the Peruvian jungle to gather and collect medicine from the frog. It was a momentous encounter, one that moved me in many ways. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to hold this incredible amphibian and give thanks to her for saving my life. The Bufo Alvarius Toad had been calling me since 2017. In the world of sacredelics there are few female practitioners in existence with a safe, comforting environment. I had the opportunity to travel to Mexico in 2020, it was time once again to follow the calls of beyond. The Spirit of the Toad led me to a truly transformative, intensive training, with the top teacher in the world. The training that not only gifted me the ability to serve the “God Molecule,” but to continue to heal myself in profound ways. I understand the need for healing beyond convention: I offer sacred Kambo, Bufo, Hapay (Rapé), Sanaga and Mushroom sessions in safe, comfortable, private settings worldwide. I am a multi-trained professional , with varied experience , that has safely administered amphibian medicine world wide. I have had the opportunity to learn and be taught in the home countries of both amphibians. With deep reverence, I take great responsibility in providing a safe, protected, comfortable, loving, sincere ceremonial space that honours and respects both clients and the medicines. I encourage clients to ask questions to ensure information is clear. RECIPROCITY: The exchange for the medicine reflects a 5% donation to the following communities: Matses and Tahona Odham Tribe Matses - I purchase Kambo from the Matses tribe based in Peru. I have formed a direct alliance with Chief Daniel Manquid Jimenez Huanán and his community. Tahona Odham Tribe - I purchase Bufo from Chief Daniel of the Tahona Odham Tribe based in Santa Ana Sonara, Mexico. The ethical collection and sale of medicine goes back into both communities. Through purchase of medicine and on going donations, the Matses have been able to put in a water filtration system and solar panels in their community. They have also bought tools, clothing, food and school supplies. The Tahona Odaham tribe has been able to provide school supplies, food, clothing and support the women and children in the community with the sale of medicine. I also support the following Indigenous Initiative in Canada: Museum for Dakota Oyate ​​https://oyatemuseum.org/ via Geraldine McManus."

In this episode you'll learn all about how the fascial system works, and how cranial sacral therapy is done in a therapeutic setting to bring your body back into balance. You'll also learn a simple technique you can do to quiet your nervous system and bring your body into a parasympathetic state in less than 5 minutes.
