WHY TRAIN WITH ESTHER
With over a decade of experience as an IAKP Master Practitioner and Teacher, Esther has guided thousands of Kambô ceremonies and trained practitioners from around the world. Her teaching combines practical knowledge, clinical experience, intuitive awareness, and a deep commitment to safety.
Rather than simply teaching techniques, Esther helps students develop the confidence, discernment, and presence needed to become skilled and compassionate practitioners. Through real case studies, hands-on practice, and personalised mentorship, you’ll learn not only what to do, but why you are doing it and when to adapt your approach to the individual in front of you.
A strong emphasis is placed on client screening, contraindications, treatment planning, ethics, and creating a safe ceremonial container. Esther is equally passionate about the less tangible aspects of the work—holding space, reading the energy of a ceremony, and supporting clients through both physical and emotional processes with calmness, compassion, and integrity.
Training takes place in intentionally small groups, allowing every student to receive individual guidance, ask questions freely, and develop at their own pace. Many students describe the supportive atmosphere as one of the most valuable aspects of the course.
Esther’s goal is simple: for every graduate to leave feeling confident, competent, and deeply prepared to offer Kambô safely, ethically, and with genuine care.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A Complete Learning Experience
This training offers far more than technical instruction. It is a journey of professional and personal growth, combining practical skills with self-reflection, intuitive development, and a deeper understanding of the spirit and responsibility of working with Kambô.
Hands-On Learning
From the very beginning, students gain extensive practical experience through demonstrations, supervised treatments, real-life case studies, and daily hands-on practice. By the end of the course, you’ll have developed the confidence, technical ability, and presence to facilitate Kambô ceremonies safely and with compassion.
Knowledge That Matters
Understanding why is just as important as understanding how. The course explores the history and traditions of Kambô alongside current scientific knowledge, physiology, contraindications, treatment planning, and years of practical clinical experience. Every topic is presented with honesty, clarity, and a focus on real-world application.
Safety First
Safety is the foundation of everything we teach. You’ll learn comprehensive client screening, contraindications, cautions, treatment planning, emergency procedures, and ethical practice, ensuring you are well prepared to care for your clients responsibly and confidently.
Holding Space & Intuition
One of the unique aspects of Esther’s teaching is the emphasis placed on presence, energetic awareness, and the art of holding space. Beyond learning the techniques, you’ll cultivate the ability to remain calm, grounded, and intuitive throughout every ceremony, supporting clients not only through the physical experience but also through the emotional and energetic processes that may unfold.
Why Become Certified with the IAKP?
Choosing an IAKP certification means joining the world's largest and most established professional Kambô organisation, dedicated to promoting safe, ethical, and responsible practice. As an IAKP practitioner, you become part of an international community of more than 500 practitioners across the globe who support one another through shared knowledge, ongoing education, mentorship, and professional collaboration. Learning doesn't end when the course finishes—it continues through a network committed to maintaining the highest standards of practice. The IAKP is internationally recognised for its strong Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, placing client safety, integrity, and professionalism at the heart of every Kambô session. This commitment helps protect both practitioners and the people they serve while contributing to the credibility and future of Kambô worldwide. Following successful completion of the training, you'll receive your IAKP Practitioner Certification and have the opportunity to be listed in the IAKP's international practitioner directory, making it easier for clients seeking qualified, IAKP-certified practitioners to find you. The certification is more than a qualification—it's the beginning of a lifelong journey of learning, growth, and community. Whether you choose to practice professionally or simply deepen your understanding of Kambô, you'll graduate with the knowledge, confidence, and ongoing support to continue developing as a safe, ethical, and compassionate practitioner. "The IAKP certification is recognised internationally and allows you to train further within the organisation, including Advanced Practitioner and Master Practitioner programmes, as your experience grows."
Commitment to Professional Ethics & Safety
IAKP practitioners are committed to upholding a rigorous Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, founded on integrity, professionalism, respect, and confidentiality. These standards help ensure that every Kambô session is conducted safely, ethically, and with the client's wellbeing at its core. For clients, this provides confidence that they are working with a practitioner who has been trained to the highest professional standards and is dedicated to delivering Kambô with care, responsibility, and compassion.
Building Confidence Through Practical Experience
The IAKP training programme places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, giving you extensive practical experience and the confidence to begin practising safely and professionally from the moment you graduate. Throughout the course, you'll receive personalised guidance, constructive feedback, and benefit from Esther's years of practical experience, clinical insights, and intuitive approach to Kambô. By the end of the training, you'll leave with more than just a certification—you'll have the knowledge, practical skills, confidence, and professional foundation to support your clients with competence, integrity, and compassion.
Deepening Your Understanding of Kambô
Through a balanced combination of scientific knowledge, traditional understanding, and real-life clinical experience, Esther's classes separate fact from fiction, dispel common myths, and bring clarity to the many misconceptions surrounding Kambô. Rather than relying on assumptions or anecdotal claims alone, you'll develop a well-rounded understanding of the medicine, its applications, limitations, and responsibilities. This knowledge provides a strong foundation for practising Kambô with confidence, integrity, respect, and sound clinical judgement.
Safety at Every Step
Safety is the foundation of everything we teach. Throughout the training, you'll learn how to confidently identify contraindications and cautions, carry out thorough client screening, understand treatment planning, follow essential safety protocols, and respond calmly and effectively should an emergency arise. By the end of the course, you'll have the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to create a safe, professional, and supportive environment for every client, while upholding the highest standards of Kambô practice.
