My Journey
I’m Nikki O’Malley, the founder of Empowered Wellness Solutions and a Master Kambo Practitioner. My journey to this work began with personal transformation. After years of battling debilitating Lyme disease that left me bedridden and searching for answers, I discovered Kambo—powerful natural peptides from the Amazon that changed my life forever. It wasn’t just about recovery; it was about reclaiming my life and stepping back into my power.
That experience sparked a relentless pursuit of understanding—of the body, the mind, and the intricate pathways to true wellness. As my commitment deepened, I immersed myself in learning everything I could about Kambo and health optimization, training with skilled practitioners, and ultimately mastering the art of Kambo application.
This dedication led to a milestone achievement: contributing to the first scientific research paper examining Kambo’s effects on Lyme disease and autoimmune conditions, scheduled for publication in 2025. It’s a meaningful step toward bridging traditional knowledge with modern science.
At Empowered Wellness Solutions, I’m committed to creating a safe, professional, and supportive environment for every client. My mission is to help individuals reach their highest potential with integrity, safety, and respect for indigenous wisdom. Each session is an opportunity for renewal and profound transformation.
Outside of my work with Kambo, I also work at one of the world's largest financial institutions, where I help clients build and protect their wealth with the same integrity and dedication I bring to my wellness practice. When we prioritize both physical well-being and financial stability, we create the foundation for a strong, purpose-driven life.
Whether I’m guiding someone through a Kambo session or advising on strategy, my purpose remains the same: to inspire, foster strength, and support meaningful transformation.
I invite you to join me on this path—where health optimization, strength, and transformation are always within reach.
About Kambo
Kambô is a secretion collected from the Amazonian tree frog, Phyllomedusa Bicolor, found in the jungles of South America. It’s also known as Sapo, Kampu , or ‘vacina da floresta’ (vaccine of the forest).
Kambô detoxifies the body and offers a natural way to boost your immune system; it has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-viral properties. It’s one of the most potent natural antibiotics, and anesthetics found naturally in the world.
At a mental level, your mind becomes more focused and still. You may experience increased resistance to stress. Everything feels calmer and becomes easier to manage. You feel lighter.
When Kambô is harvested, the frogs are treated with the utmost care and reverence.
The tribes have a deep respect and love for them, as they are considered teachers, healers, and the carriers of sacred medicine.
Kambô is legal here in the United States, and it is NOT hallucinogenic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kambo?
Kambo is a traditional Amazonian secretion collected from the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog. It contains natural bioactive peptides applied through small burns on the skin. Used for centuries by Indigenous tribes, Kambo is known for supporting detoxification, immune system activation, and physical resilience. At Empowered Wellness Solutions, it is offered with utmost professionalism, safety, and respect for its origins.
Is Kambo safe?
Yes, when administered by a properly trained and experienced practitioner, Kambo is safe for most people. I adhere to strict safety protocols and conduct a thorough intake to ensure each client is a good candidate. However, it is not appropriate for everyone—especially individuals with certain cardiovascular conditions, medications, or underlying health concerns.
What can I expect during a session?
Each session begins with a personal consultation. We’ll discuss your health background, intentions, and questions. Kambo is then applied through small superficial burns known as “gates.” The medicine stays on for approximately 20–40 minutes. The full experience typically lasts up to three hours and includes time for rest, hydration, and integration.
Who should not receive Kambo?
Kambo is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, have a history of stroke or serious heart conditions, or are taking certain medications. A thorough screening is conducted prior to treatment to ensure your safety. For a detailed overview, please review the complete list of contraindications provided in the intake form.
How do I prepare for a session?
Preparation includes fasting (water only) for 8-12 hours beforehand, avoiding caffeine and alcohol the day before, staying well-hydrated with electrolytes, and getting adequate rest. A light protein shake is allowed up to 2 hours before your session to support blood sugar and strength.
What happens after a session?
After Kambo is removed, clients typically rest and hydrate. Some people feel energized and clear shortly afterward, while others experience deeper shifts that unfold over the next 24–48 hours. I provide post-session support and guidance for integration.
How often should I receive Kambo?
The frequency depends on your goals, health background, and response to kambo. Some clients benefit from a series of sessions, while others return seasonally or as needed. We’ll discuss a personalized plan during your consultation.
Do you offer group or private sessions?
While I offer both private sessions and small group ceremonies, I primarily work in group settings. Group work offers powerful shared energy, connection, and support, making it an ideal environment for many clients.
What should I bring to a session?
Please bring water with electrolytes, comfortable clothing, and a light blanket. You may also wish to bring a journal or something meaningful for your intention-setting process.
Will Kambo leave a scar?
Yes, Kambo is applied through small superficial burns to the skin called “gates.” While these marks are small and usually fade significantly over time, some individuals may develop permanent scars depending on their skin type and healing process. I use a precise technique designed to minimize scarring and always discuss gate placement with each client to ensure comfort and discretion.
What makes Empowered Wellness Solutions different?
Empowered Wellness Solutions offers a grounded, professional approach to Kambo, guided by lived experience, formal training, and deep respect for the kambo’s indigenous roots. My work is rooted in safety, integrity, and personal transformation—supporting you every step of the way.
