Owner/Chef - She/Her
After a decade of managing restaurants
and a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits,
I decided to give up both.
Howdy, Hi, Hello! I’m Amber. I’m in my mid 30’s, living a life that I love in Portland Oregon. I’m the proud dog-mom of my OTAT rescue, Dolly Parton. Dolly & I are both early October Libra’s-and honey, it shows. I’m active in my sobriety community & take a great joy in nourishing my neighbors whenever possible.
Three years ago, my doctor warned me that my eating habits had compromised my health in an extreme way. There, in my early 30’s, I was taking steps to prepare my body for a heart attack with dangerously high cholesterol. I started having rewarding conversations with my body about the specific nourishment that I needed. Since then I’ve found a genuine passion in helping others translate these same vulnerable dialogues, giving focus to clean whole ingredients.
Nourishment of the body is food.
Nourishment of the soul is feeding others.
I’ve been helping families prepare thoughtful nourishing meals for the last year, while developing Ambrosia into a brand. I have found such joy in learning about nutrition and how plants are medicine. My clients are parents to children suffering from Crohns disorder, recovering from cancers, navigating Diabetes, and new mothers learning how to nourish their postpartum bodies. With every new dietary focus, I spend extensive time learning about the fuel it takes to truly nourish those specific body types.
Nourishment is a daily practice. It’s not a 30 day cleanse that you can “reset” and then go back to the habits that got you to the place of seeking a detox. Those of us battling our relationship with food and our bodies have to repeatedly walk into the battlefield and make choices that amplify nourishment.
What are your nutrition goals? What foods would your family be eating more of if you had the time to thoughtfully prepare them? Are you struggling with how to stay creative with dietary restrictions?
I can help you answer these questions. I can help you refuel.
