Amy Klitscher | Nutrition Chef & Culinary Coach | Byron Bay & Northern Rivers

Heal through food and learn to cook with purpose.

At Harvest & Heal, I combine vibrant wholefood cooking with nutritional wisdom — using food as medicine to nourish, support, and heal from the inside out, while empowering others to do the same.

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.

At Harvest & Heal, 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 — from one-on-one coaching and private chef experiences, to weekly meal deliveries, workplace lunches, and retreat catering. However you choose to work with me, the goal is the same: to make healthy eating simple, satisfying, and stress-free.

Learning to truly cook can transform your life.

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

I’ve also attended events when Amy has catered and her food is delish. I couldn’t recommend her more, whether you need lessons, advice, recipes or catering. She is your one stop shop. Highly recommend. YUM!"
