Trauma resolution coach and plant medicine man, Chiang Mai
Maxwell Honey had to heal himself before he could help anyone else heal. Addiction and a debilitating sickness took his late teen years, and what changed the course of his life at 21 years old was an experience with kambo, an ancient medicine which is from the secretion of an Amazonian tree frog pressed into small burns on the skin. Since then, he has worked with indigenous medicine for more than fifteen years.[4]
He is a trauma resolution coach, a breathwork facilitator and a plant medicine man, based out of Chiang Mai, but travels the world. He coaches one to one online and runs immersive retreats.
When working with clients, Max does not work through the story of what happened. He works on the understanding that the imprint is in the body, so the body is where he works.[1] He is not going to march you back into the worst thing that ever happened to you.[1]
What he aims to build for his clients is to bring them back to safety, connection and joy.[1] He trained in somatic experiencing, breathwork facilitation and earth medicine ceremony. He has his own style of breathwork called Satori Breathwork, in which the five modules work on nervous system fundamentals through to deep journey work.[1]
The medicine is the other half of him. He was initiated into ayahuasca in the Amazon, iboga in Africa, and has the ability to hold space for many more.[2][3]
In his earlier years, Max was going to be a doctor of herbal medicine. He studied Chinese and philosophy at university, and spent years in China, Japan and across East Asia, with the outcome pointing in one direction, or so he thought.[4]
Then came his experience with ayahuasca. It was so profound and life changing for him, he stopped studying medicine altogether as a subject and went on a discovery journey to learn it from the humans who not just teach but live this.[4] He never went back.[4]
Max learned kambo from the people it belongs to. The Katukina, of the Brazilian Amazon, have worked with this medicine for generations. He went and lived with them.[3]
Kambo is not meant to be worked on its own. The Katukina hold it alongside ayahuasca, rapé and sananga, and in their understanding, which has become his own, the four of them together reach a place that none of them reaches alone.[3] Going the other way, he brings the nervous system work. He puts grounding and breathwork either side of a session, so the medicine can go deeper and the whole experience is easier for a human to move through.[3]
Iboga is the other lineage he carries. He has been initiated into it in Africa, through several rites of passage.[2][3]
The ceremonies he holds today are one to one and in groups, and he holds them for two reasons: the healing itself, and the wisdom a human carries back out with them.[2] His trauma training sits underneath that work.[1][2]
There are a few ways to work with Max. There is the coaching, one to one and online, aimed at getting a human out of survival mode and back into their own body.[1] There is Satori Breathwork, his own course, which an individual moves through in their own time. And there are the retreats, held in person and in nature, where breath, body and ceremony are worked together in a group.[1]
He is certified in breathwork and TRE and works as a psychedelic integration coach, which means the preparation beforehand and the landing afterwards are as much his work as the ceremony itself.[4]
