Hi, I’m Sabine, founder of Amber Sea Holistics.

My interest in plants, body care and traditional remedies started long before Amber Sea Holistics existed. Growing up in Latvia within a family with at least three generations of herbal practice, I was introduced early to traditional plant knowledge and the practical skills surrounding it. My grandmother became the strongest link in that chain for me, passing on both techniques and curiosity.

As I grew older, that curiosity became more analytical. I wanted to understand why certain practices made sense, what could be supported by evidence, and which ideas belonged more to tradition than to fact.

Over the years I have trained in massage and bodywork, studied naturopathic skincare and explored subjects including human ecology, psychology, movement and behaviour. I continue learning because the more you understand about the body, skin and natural materials, the harder it becomes to believe in one universal answer for everyone.

That is also how I work.

I don’t follow treatments mechanically from a script. I look at the person in front of me — their skin, comfort, mobility, circumstances and what they actually need that day — and adapt where appropriate.

Traditional knowledge has an important place in my work, but so does evidence. Some old practices turn out to have a reasonable explanation. Some remain interesting possibilities. And some are simply good stories that have been repeated for generations. I believe it is important to know the difference.

Amber Sea Holistics grew from that combination: traditional knowledge, practical experience, continuing education and a healthy willingness to question things.

My aim is not to “fix” anyone.

It is to provide thoughtful, individual care — and, whenever possible, to help people understand their own body and skin a little better along the way.
