ABOUT AMBER
Amber was born of mixed ancestry rooted in the Andes and in the Hawaiian Islands. Raised between South America, Hawai’i, and different cities throughout North America, she grew up with an intimate knowledge of how people and place are in relation. Early childhood experiences attuned her to the spirit of healing and inspired her path forward in the world.
On a mission to be of service to others, Amber was called to study Eastern & Alternative Medicine. Later it was her passion for Indigenous People’s rights that led her to receive a BA in Political Science & International Relations. Although she was pre-law intending to be a Human Rights lawyer, a fateful detour would take her on a personal journey of healing and transformation, and ultimately lead her to the Healing Arts once again.
As an eternal student and practitioner, Amber has created a heart-led career sharing her nurturing gifts with others. Now over a decade of study and experience in the Healing Arts, her integrative healing practice continues to evolve. As a somatic and trauma-informed bodyworker and massage therapist, Amber skillfully brings science and spirit together for healing.
Initiated by her Indigenous Teachers of North & South America, Amber reverently carries the sacred wisdom of her elders. Humbly cultivating the seeds of healing, hope, and harmony, she walks in service to the Sacred.
When not immersed in her private practice, Amber shares her passion for community and education through a rich and diverse holistic programming of events, workshops, trainings, and retreats. In her philosophy, healing is a collective journey, and so she frequently offers opportunities to do so.
After initiating as a Reiki Master, Amber has been sharing the teachings of Reiki for the past 4+ years — In this time she has attuned many to the spiritual path of the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition. Honoring the ancestral Japanese heritage of Reiki, and therefore her own, Amber’s trainings have organically grown into a community of fellow students and practitioners called to the Sacred Path.
As a woman of prayer and student of life, Amber’s mission is to inspire remembrance on an individual and collective level — Rooted upon the sacred Chumash Lands of the Ojai Valley in Southern California, Amber brings together the healing wisdom of the Natural, Spiritual & Human Worlds, in devotion to health and harmony for all beings everywhere.
Let’s weave together.
