Frequently Asked Questions

About Kambo

  • Kambo is the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor, the Giant Green Monkey Tree Frog of the Amazon rainforest. It has been used for centuries as part of the traditional ceremonial practices of indigenous Amazonian tribes including the Matses, Katukina, and Mayoruna peoples.

    It is not a psychedelic. It does not create visions or altered states of consciousness. It is a deeply physical, deeply cleansing ceremonial experience that those who come to it describe as unlike anything else they have ever encountered.

    Kambo is not classified as a medicinal product in the United Kingdom. It is a legal ceremonial practice.

  • Yes, for centuries. The women of the Amazonian tribes who have used Kambo ceremonially for generations have long incorporated it into their practices around fertility and the welcoming of new life. This is not a modern interpretation. It is a tradition that has existed for centuries within these communities.

    At Conscious Conception & Fertility with Claire Anstey, Kambo is combined with the IAKP Fertility Acupuncture Point Sequence to create a programme that is entirely unique to this practice.

  • Yes. Kambo is completely legal in the United Kingdom and across most of the world.

  • No. Kambo does not contain any psychedelic or hallucinogenic substances. It does not create visions, altered states of consciousness, or any psychedelic experience. It is a deeply physical ceremonial practice.

  • To date sixteen bioactive peptides have been isolated from the Kambo secretion. These compounds have been of significant interest to researchers and pharmaceutical companies worldwide since the 1960s, with over 70 Kambo related peptide patents registered primarily in the USA.

    The peptides identified in the Kambo secretion include dermorphin, deltorphin, phyllokinin, phyllomedusin, phyllocaerulein, sauvagine, dermaseptin, adenoregulin, and several others. Each has been the subject of ongoing scientific interest and research.

About the Fertility Boost Programme

  • The Fertility Boost Programme is a four session programme combining Kambo, an ancient Amazonian practice, with the IAKP Fertility Acupuncture Point Sequence — a tried and tested protocol developed by the International Association of Kambo Practitioners drawing on thousands of years of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom.

    Every session is led personally by Claire Anstey from beginning to end. There are no assistants and no substitutes.

  • Four sessions completed over no more than 25 days.

    Session 1 — The Foundation Session 7 to 10 days later — Session 2 3 to 5 days later — Session 3 7 to 10 days later — Session 4

  • The IAKP Fertility Acupuncture Point Sequence is a three part protocol developed by the International Association of Kambo Practitioners, drawing on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the wisdom of fertility acupuncture meridians. It has been refined and used by certified IAKP practitioners for many years.

    From Session 2 onwards the gates — the small points through which the Kambo is applied — are placed on fertility specific acupuncture points.

  • Yes. The programme is available for both individuals and couples at the same structure and pricing. Both partners attend every session together in the couples programme.

  • Yes. Many clients come to us specifically to prepare themselves before beginning IVF, or to take time for personal renewal after a difficult cycle. In most cases sessions can be timed in the windows between medicated cycles. Please let Claire know your IVF schedule at the time of booking and she will advise on timing personally.

  • Many of the clients who come to us have been through multiple failed cycles and felt they were running out of options. If you have been through this experience and want to talk it through with Claire before booking please send her a WhatsApp message. She will respond personally.

  • Absolutely. The programme is available to both individuals and couples. Every individual receives the same depth of care, attention, and personalised approach.

About the Sessions

  • Each session runs for approximately three to four hours and follows a carefully held structure.

    The session begins with the preparation and creation of the gates — the small points through which the Kambo is applied. Claire then guides you through a meditation and visualisation to open the mind, body and spirit and set a clear intention for the session ahead.

    The Kambo experience itself lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Following this you rest in a peaceful supported space for up to one hour. Claire remains present throughout.

    Every session closes with a light vegan meal prepared and served by Claire — fresh soup, bread, hummus, crackers, rice cakes, fresh and dried fruits, and peanut butter.

    You leave nourished, grounded, and cared for.

  • The experience begins within moments of application and is immediate and intense. Many people experience a strong sensation of warmth or heat moving through the body. The face may flush. The heart rate increases. There is often nausea and most people purge — this is a completely natural and expected part of the ceremony and is considered an important release.

    Some people experience shaking, emotional release, tears, laughter, or a deep sense of letting go.

    Every experience is different. Every session is different. Claire is present with you throughout every moment.

  • Yes. The purge is not an unpleasant side effect — it is the body's natural response to the ceremony and the mechanism through which deep cleansing takes place. Most clients describe the purge as a release rather than an ordeal once they have experienced it. What follows is consistently described as one of the most profound feelings of clarity and peace they have ever experienced.

  • Most people are completely fine. Some feel energised almost immediately. Others feel tender and tired for a day or two before a shift becomes clear. Claire will advise you personally based on how your body responds across the programme. You will be able to drive yourself home after your session and go to work the next day.

  • Yes. Every session in the Fertility Boost Programme is led by Claire Anstey personally. Not a practitioner, not an assistant. Claire. Her commitment to you does not end when the session ends. All clients have full WhatsApp access to Claire throughout the programme and beyond.
