ABOUT GINNY
Ginny has been an interior designer for 25 years. As a designer, she saw how outer space reflected the inner space. She soon came to understand that by changing the inner space, the outer space would also change. Which sent her on a journey to change her own inner space. In 2013, she traveled to the jungle of Peru and spent time with a shamanic family to experience the medicines of the Amazon. This was a life-changing adventure. A year later she was called by the sacred medicine of Kambo. After her first encounter with Kambo, she knew that she would be working with this medicine. Four months later she found herself in Poland, training with the International Association of Kambo Practitioners (IAKP).
Ginny now works with the sacred medicine of Kambo. She is a Master Practitioner and was a Senior Trainer through the IAKP. Recently, she has become the Senior trainer for Kambo International, an organization committed to fostering community, transparency, growth, and life cultivation. She is committed to sharing her knowledge and experience with new practitioners and supporting them in this amazing journey. She is also a certified transformational life coach and an advanced student of Gnosis Tarot. She is currently studying the teacher’s training for Yuan Tze Ren Xue's life development, which works on totality healing by changing our life patterns. She also hosts a radio show on the Transformation Talk Radio station called ''Kambo Talk''.

ABOUT STEVEN
Steve has been working with Kambo now for almost 7 years. Like all practitioners, Steve has been developing his own personal relationship and method to working with this powerful tool from the Amazon. He works primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area and the greater New York City area. He and his partner run a Kambo retreat center in the outskirts of San Francisco.
Steve was raised on a horse farm on the East Coast and spent much of his childhood communing with nature. This relationship was and is his first and strongest form of connectedness throughout life.
After Studying Spanish, Art and International Economics at the University of Vermont, Steve traveled and lived in both South America (Peru, Chile & Bolivia), and Europe. He eventually settled in NYC and had exciting careers in the fashion and film industry as a Creative Director.
After years of interest in non-western and natural healing modalities, Steve was brought to Kambo hoping for some relief from anxiety and long-term back pain after several surgeries. Initially a skeptic, immediately following his very first experience with the frog, Steve knew his relationship with Kambo would grow into something bigger than he imagined. It was his calling.
Steve believes and deeply respects Kambo's deep traditions dating back 1ooo's of years - as well as how the future of working with Kambo will continue to evolve with humanity. He is thrilled to be able to share and pass on what he has learned from this powerful gift of the jungle.
