Harvest & Heal is for people who want to feel better, eat well, and live with more ease.

I combine vibrant wholefood cooking with nutritional wisdom - using food as medicine to nourish, support, and heal from the inside out, and teach others to do the same.

LEARN WITH ME

Hi, it’s nice to meet you.

I’m Amy Klitscher, a nutrition-focused Private Chef and Culinary Coach based in Byron Bay. I help people feel better through food - whether that’s by cooking for them, or teaching them how to cook with confidence and ease.

With over a decade of experience working across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, I’ve cooked as a high-end private chef, large-scale event caterer, and retreat chef, specialising in meals that are deeply nourishing, flavour-driven and grounded in wholefood principles.

My work blends thoughtful cooking with nutritional wisdom to support healing from the inside out. I create vibrant, anti-inflammatory and gut-supportive food and guide others to do the same - making healthy eating feel joyful, sustainable and stress-free.

Food is more than fuel. It’s a powerful tool for feeling well, every day.

“Amy and her magnificent meal, was the highlight of a three family weekend away to celebrate a 40th birthday amongst a close group of friends. Great nutritious food, fantastic table and so easy to communicate with.

If you were planning a special event you would be crazy not to include Amy in your plans.”
