Allow Us to Introduce Ourselves
The Owners
Amber Wodtli, LMT and Kelly Chambers, L.Ac have combined experience of over 35 years in integrative health care and continuing education. Kelly's study of Classical Chinese Medicine and Modern Trauma Integration intertwines with Amber's decades of experience, rooted in sports and therapeutic massage.
Kelly and Amber were introduced in 2012. Each was inspired by the other’s perspective and how that enriched their own understanding of a shared approach to healing. Their passion for facilitating the use of natural remedies, movement, meditation, and manual therapies, led to the collaborative creation of advanced training for healthcare practitioners. In their 12 years working together, a grassroots movement toward the future of medicine arose.
Their intention is to bring continuing health care education into a more open, equitable and engaging era, where we honor the roots of medicine, highlight the deep wisdom of our ancestors, and braid these strands with the advances of modern science.
MEET KELLY
Dr. Kelly Chambers has been studying Chinese Medicine for 20 years. As a clinician, orienting through Taoist approaches to health and well-being, Kelly utilizes several modalities of care and works holistically for the integration of mind/body and spirit. She also recognizes the power and necessity of highlighting self-healing principles in all of her consultations and treatments. Over the past 10 years, Kelly has also been engaged with the process of deep relation; with ourselves, each other, our ancestors, our cultures and collectives, this beautiful earth, and that which is mysterious and beyond. This has become a source of inspiration and discovery in Kelly's awareness and embodiment of healing and healing potentials.
One of Kelly's passions and commitments is passing on what she has learned. She has been teaching movement and meditation arts, in one form or another, for more than 30 years. Currently, she loves taking what is most accessible and beneficial about Chinese Medicine and sharing it (with both patient and practitioner), so that we might better meet our specific wellness needs while simultaneously uncovering our greatest potential in caring for all of humanity and its place in the cosmos. She continues to share her process in healing through Groups and Trainings ( via www.hyphaedu.org ) online and all over the United States.
When not working or studying, you can find Kelly simply enjoying family and nature or playing with creative exploration.
MEET AMBER
With over 21 years of experience, Amber's expertise in teaching and practicing the art of massage ranges from Deep Tissue Sports Massage and Myofascial release, to Neuromuscular Therapies and Cupping. Her main focus in bodywork is geared toward working with amateur and professional athletes, and educating clients on the benefits of recovery and self-care. As a 13 year teacher, Amber's dedication to her students and their educational experience is held in high regard. Her continued pursuance of knowledge concerning the body—its symmetry and structure - is not only evident in her practice and her teaching but also in her way of life.
For her, the human body is a fascinating machine, a genuine work of art. She wholly believes and embodies the sentiment that true power comes from within, and she sees the power of touch as a healing and sustainable way to connect with the self and realize one’s full potential.
The journey into teaching collaborative continuing education began the day she met Kelly Chambers in 2012. As teaching colleagues they quickly began to realize that there is great benefit from sharing perspectives and gaining a deeper understanding of the true nature of Holistic Health. She discovered new and resourceful ways to blend ancient traditions of bodywork with modern day therapeutic methods for phenomenal results. She started teaching Cupping and Gua Sha workshops with Kelly in 2009 with the hope of sharing this wonderful ancient art with the bodywork community. From there the grass roots effort of collaborative “East meets West” education quickly evolved into a true collective that branches out into many different realms of Integrative Health.
