Hi, it’s nice to meet you.

I’m Amy Klitscher, a Nutrition Chef & Culinary Coach dedicated to helping people thrive through food. Over the past decade, I’ve cooked across New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands — working as a private chef, event caterer, and retreat cook. I specialise in high-end in-home dining, large-scale catering, and wellness-focused meals that are as delicious as they are deeply nourishing.

I combine wholefood catering with nutritional wisdom to support healing from the inside out. I create vibrant, gut-supportive meals that support our health, and I’m passionate about teaching others to do the same. Whether you're looking to nourish your body, expand your skills, or simply eat better, I’m here to guide you toward a sustainable, joyful approach to food and cooking. I believe food is more than just fuel — it’s preventative medicine and a powerful tool for feeling well, every day.

Explore my offerings — whether it’s one-on-one culinary coaching, a bespoke private chef experience, ongoing everyday personal chef services, or retreat catering. No matter the format, my mission is the same: to make healthy, nourishing food effortless, enjoyable, and completely stress-free.

Learning to truly cook will transform your life.

My Culinary Coaching goes beyond recipes — it’s about understanding ingredients, growing your culinary fundamentals, building confidence, and making healthy cooking second nature.

Highly recommend. YUM!"
