Neal HENEGAR

Master Kambo Teacher

At our Phyllomedusa Frog Detox training, you’ll be guided by Neal Henegar, a Master Kambo Practitioner and leading researcher of frog medicine and the scientific research of Phyllomedusa peptides. Neal has been referred to as the Indiana Jones of frog medicine, due to his tireless efforts in exploring and studying the untapped potential of Amazonian sourced peptides.

As a Cherokee bone setting chiropractor and founding partner of NeoMatrix Medical, a stem cell research company, Neal was initially drawn to the healing potential of frog peptides due to his dissatisfaction with the current state of modern medicine. He recognized the rise of autoimmune and chronic diseases in our world and was frustrated by the limited and harmful treatment options provided by pharmaceutical companies.

Neal has dedicated his life to the study and practice of this ancient form of medicine, traveling the world to learn from indigenous cultures and sharing his knowledge and expertise with others.

At this training, Neal and the Medicine Frog Foundation’s Medical Doctors will work closely with you to create a personalized ceremony that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. You’ll benefit from his extensive knowledge of frog medicine and his experience as a chiropractor and stem cell researcher, as he supports you to release physical and emotional blockages, as well as any holding patterns of panema. Panema otherwise referred to as “bad luck energy” by the indigenous holders of this medicine, this energy is what holds us back in life via low energy or sickness, disrupting our circadian rhythms and putting us out of balance with nature and our most fulfilling lives.

Neal’s passion for frog medicine and his commitment to healing make him an exceptional facilitator and guide for your Phyllomedusa Frog Detox Training. You’ll be in the best of hands as you embark on your transformative journey towards greater health, vitality, and space holding.

Kristina BOCCIO

Assistant Kambo Teacher

Kambo called Kristina after sitting with the medicine for the first time during a 3-day initiation ceremony. Kristina met Kambo with the intention of clearing the psychological and physical blockages of grief. With Kambo, Kristina experienced immense clarity and soon found herself hiking back from the beach in Hawaii. During the hike, the path was suddenly illuminated with hundreds of amphibians. On every foot of the path, toads were leaping. Not long after that experience on the hike, training with Kambo Frog Detox aligned for Kristina. As a lifetime learner, Kristina has studied dozens of holistic modalities that have led her back to nature and inner-stands that the body can self-heal when given the correct tools and environment.

Kristina remains close to nature and has continued to study nutrition since 2012. Each modality Kristina has studied leads to the next as she focuses on supporting women and families through childbearing as a full spectrum Doula, herbalist, and holistic wellness practitioner. Most recently, Kristina has trained as a phlebotomist and volunteered at an administration clinic for ozone and stem cells for regenerative growth and the management of chronic illnesses. Kristina now assists Kambo Training alongside her partner, Neal, while running Dragon Soul Retreat Center.
