Hi from Lola!
The truth is it’s not really about me at all. Most people come to Kambô through a calling. A strong, intuitive sense that this medicine resonates with them. They feel deeply that this is the next step on their healing journey. Perhaps that’s what’s brought you here too?
My role is to simply allow that to happen. To create the perfect conditions and sacred space in which your healing can unfold. To keep you safe and secure as you sit with the medicine.
Below you’ll find some of my qualifications as well as my experience. I have practiced alternative and complimentary medicines for around 15 years now, most recently delving deeper into my love of shamanism and plant medicine.
I am a fully qualified and insured holistic therapist, registered with the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) along with the UK Reiki Federation as a Master Teacher and the International Centre of Reiki Training (ICRT) as a Registered Karuna Reiki Teacher. I love learning new healing modalities and keeping up to date with advances in natural medicines. My academic research has been focused on ‘Sustainable Healthcare’, supporting staff health and wellbeing with a holistic approach.
Wherever you are on your own healing journey, my heartfelt advice to you would be this. Always follow your intuition, it is never wrong. Work with someone who you feel aligned with. Someone who embodies the qualities and values that you hold dear. Someone who can offer support without judgement. Someone who radiates kindness and compassion.
I wish you well on your journey.
With much love,
Lola

My Lineage
My lineage originates from the Matsés tribe in Peru and I respectfully follow their original traditions when administering Kambô. The Matsés tribe are Animists and they see no difference between the spiritual and physical worlds. Animal spirits are present in all things, both living and inanimate.
The Matsés tribe believe that all plants have an association with specific animal spirits. The Shaman will speak to the animal spirit associated with that particular plant, requesting a cure, protection or enhanced physical ability. Typically, they will apply remedies externally to the body, rarely ingesting medicines.
One of their most common healing ceremonies is the Kambô Ceremony. This involves the use of a toxin derived from the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog– known as kambô, kampu, or acate by Amazonian natives.
My Teacher
Eleanor Ivanova (Hellie Flow) spent many months living and training with the Shipibo tribe in Peru. After mastering their customs, she was initiated into their lineage as a shaman. She has now returned to England and lives in Glastonbury where she continues this incredible work.
I first met and connected with Ellie at a plant medicines retreat in Portugal several years ago and have sat in ceremony with her ever since. There was never any question of me training with anyone else and I was the first student of Ellie’s outside of her immediate family.
I am both blessed and honoured to have been initiated into the indigenous traditions of Kambô and shamanic healing, lovingly taught and mentored 1:1 by this very powerful medicine woman.
In the photo you can see a picture of Ellie with her teacher in Peru, who she still works closely with to this day. Together we aim to promote these natural ways of healing throughout the West – treating the root cause rather than the symptoms of disease.

My love of learning is endless and as you can see over the years I’ve continually added to my portfolio of skills.
Every year I say the same thing, that once my current course is finished, I’m going to take a break, but of course I never do.
There’s so much to learn and so little time, however it is the power from above that guides me.
Being in service to the divine is my life’s purpose and something I truly love. I am honoured to do this work and share my gifts with the world.

Testimonials
Here is what some of my students have to say about their experience of kambô...
The level of care Lola provided was over and beyond both the kambô ceremonies I had experienced before - and her energy is truly beautiful.

Lola is definitely an earth angel. You only have to sit with her to realise this is her divine mission. I can not recommend her to you enough xx
