I’m Amy Klitscher — founder of Harvest & Heal, a wholefoods-based catering and coaching practice rooted in nourishment, purpose, and simplicity. Originally from New Zealand and now based permanently in Byron Bay, I work as a Nutrition Chef, Culinary Coach, and Retreat Chef — crafting food that supports healing from the inside out.

With over a decade of experience cooking across New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, my work has taken me from remote community kitchens to wellness retreats, high-end private dining, and large-scale conscious events. No matter the setting, my focus has remained the same: to create food that feels good, tastes incredible, and supports the body on every level.

My journey includes founding and running a multi-award-winning catering company, cooking for clients with specific dietary needs, and volunteering in remote island communities. Through it all, I’ve seen the transformative power of food — not just in what we eat, but in how we relate to it.

Harvest & Heal was born from that belief: that food is medicine, and that learning to cook with intention is one of the most powerful ways to take care of yourself. I specialise in wholefood meals made with plants, protein, and purpose — and I love showing others how to do the same in their own kitchens and lives.

Alongside hands-on experience, I’ve studied with eCornell (Plant-Based Nutrition), Seeds of Life Raw Chef Training, and I’m currently completing a qualification in Holistic Performance Nutrition through the Holistic Performance Institute.

Whether I’m delivering nourishing meals, catering for retreats, or guiding you through a personal coaching session, my approach is grounded in simplicity, flavour, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel well — and it starts with what’s on your plate.
