ABOUT
Hi, I’m Amber, a multifaceted individual weaving through the roles of motherhood, writing, guiding, and facilitating. In my world, the intersection of creativity and adventure is where magic happens. Every project I undertake is not just a task; it's a journey marked by wonder and innovative thinking. I’m honored to hold space for others and grateful for this wild life we are all living together.
I love old records, home movies, herbal tea, dancing, vision boards and believe every Saturday should start with pancakes.
It’s all happening.
