“I really, really enjoyed the Food As Medicine workshop! Learned a lot about food choices and gut health… “listen to your gut.” Thanks, Amanda!”

Hi there! I’m Amanda — certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Food Healing Coach, and certified yoga instructor serving the greater Portland metro area and beyond. I combine my unique background as a plant-based food business owner and chef with my expertise in the science of Ayurveda to partner with clients and the greater community in realizing their health goals.
I have had my own healing journey through years of digestive upset, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation. Through in-depth study of Ayurveda, the world’s oldest health system, I have found greater balance, nourishment, and kindness to myself and my unique needs. It is a lifelong journey, not a quick fix — but one that feels supportive and enriching along the way.
I believe that, by listening to the signals that our body, mind, and emotions share, we can address issues and imbalances well before they become a diagnosis. I work with people leading healthy lifestyles or taking the steps to be healthier. They want to tailor their food as medicine but don’t know how or where to start. I help educate and then customize a plan that guides with how and what to eat to address patterns and bring balance. Whether you have been diagnosed with a condition or are taking preventative steps, I welcome the opportunity to work with and support you!
“Bought a masala dabba for myself after your Food As Medicine workshop! Such a great class and introduction to this way of thinking about food. Thank you!”
