Following a deep immersion into the Peruvian Amazon in 2009 to study plant medicines, Deyan met members of the Matsés tribe and experienced his first Kambo session. He felt an immediate and profound connection with the spirit of the frog, and over the following years, Kambo became a central pillar of his global healing practice.After years of returning to Peru to study, and having transformed his own serious health setbacks into wisdom using these ancestral tools, Deyan founded Kambo Naturista in 2016 to train new practitioners. In 2023, he opened Amazon Soma, a dedicated healing center outside of Iquitos, Peru, where he now lives and facilitates deeply integrated work with Kambo, Ayahuasca, and traditional dietas.
