Caitlin Thompson
Senior Practitioner, Founder of Medicine Frog Kambo

After using kambo to heal from a chronic health condition that encompassed Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, bacterial infections, depression, pain and food sensitivities, Caitlin felt deeply called to be in service to providing kambo to those in need.
Caitlin originally trained with the International Association of Kambo Practitioners (IAKP) and then later with various indigenous Matses tribes near Iquitos, Peru. She has been serving kambo since 2015 and has facilitated over 1400 sessions all over the world.
Caitlin’s background is in neurobiology, with emphasis in mood disorders and autoimmune conditions. In pursuit of her own health, Caitlin has studied nutritional neuroscience and helps people conquer their chronic health struggles, autoimmune and psychiatric conditions through diet, nutraceuticals and other healing modalities (such as Kambo).
Caitlin is also an independent scientific researcher and is currently conducting the first human kambo research in the field. Her past research has focused on psychedelic treatments for autoimmune conditions.
Caitlin’s particular style of working with Kambo is very nurturing and gentle, emphasizing the power of the intentional ceremonial set and setting by holding a tight, safe and supportive space.
