Honoring Our Hispanic Heritage

It’s National Hispanic Heritage month, and we wanted to honor it by sharing a little about our founder Ambaya so you can learn more about her and our story.

 

For those who don’t know Ambaya, she was born in Mexico City and has been on her journey of healing her whole life. I sat down and chatted with her about her heritage, her passion for health, and Ambaya Gold's beginning.

Interview with Ambaya

Annie: What was your childhood like growing up in Mexico?

 

Ambaya: I was born in Mexico City and had a beautiful childhood with my large, united, happy family. I experienced blessings all around. My siblings and I had the privilege of the freedom to play. We didn’t have chores. We were allowed to be kids, go to school and play. I was blessed to live where I did and be born into this family.

 

Annie: What inspired your interest in healing? When did that begin?

 

Ambaya: I was surrounded by the art of healing my whole life. My father was a doctor. It seemed he was willing and able to cure anything that came his way, whether a human, animal, plant or even a car. He constantly shared his knowledge with my siblings and me, so it was natural and second nature for us to know all about medicine since it was a very present subject.


Annie: When did you move to America?

 

Ambaya: My whole family moved when I was twelve, and we were quite excited and, at the same time, sad to leave the extended family. My father loved what America stood for, freedom, Integrity, and professionalism in Medicine. He wanted his children to be responsible, independent, and productive. 


Holistic Studies 

Annie: How did you begin studying holistic healing compared to your father's western medicine?

 

Ambaya: When I became pregnant with my first child, I had terrible long-lasting morning sickness, and my father had to feed my body the minerals it needed intravenously. I had just come out of college, where I lived a high-speed life, living recklessly, eating whatever I wanted, and not maintaining the healthy lifestyle my body needed. So when I became pregnant, my body showed me that it would not work, so I started paying attention to healthy meals. I lived in Austin at the time, and there was a health awareness beginning to rise, and I was right in it. I gained a genuine respect for my body and experienced firsthand how imperative health is over everything else in this world. I realized I never truly resonated with the western style of medicine with all the needles and the surgeries even though I was very familiar with it.

 

Annie: How did your Ayurvedic Studies begin?

 

Ambaya: Five children later, I focused all my time trying to nurture them and prepare the healthiest foods for their sake and mine. Around this time, My father got accidentally poisoned, and on his deathbed, his last words to me were, “Sweetheart, pursue your natural healing with your herbs. Go put some compassion into this Science because there is none.” 

 

His words must have affected me greatly because I enrolled in the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a few months later. My heart immediately resonated with the ancient teachings of Ayurveda. This wise knowledge that has been around for thousands of years has revealed the natural connection to God, the Inner Spirit, us Humans, and our deep connection to Nature.

 

The teachings revealed a very practical manual for the human body, something Western medicine had overlooked. It brought me a greater appreciation for the gift and sanctity of Life and our Mother Earth, which provides nourishment, enjoyment, beauty, support, peace, and more, enlivening all the senses that make us feel alive. 



And how did all of this lead you to begin the journey of Ambaya Gold?

Ambaya: Looking back, I can see that every aspect of my life has been part of God‘s plan with his timing, even if I didn’t know it at the time. I have lived in Sedona for the last 22 years after studying Ayurveda with Dr. Lad, Dr. Svoboda, Deepak Chopra, and Dr. Mishra. Their teachings have contributed to my life significantly and allowed me to express my passion for serving others through Ayurveda's ancient science. Likewise, my experiences with and blessings from the Siddha Yoga Masters have landed me in a Spiritual pursuit that keeps on growing, and I am eternally grateful for them. 
 
When I moved to Sedona in 2000, I began offering Ayurvedic consultations and making dry herbal remedies to assist my clients' health. I also had a Neurofeedback business and gave my clients Ayurvedic treatments before their neural feedback sessions. When I got introduced to the liquid form of Shilajit, a powerful mineral pitch, I noticed that when clients took the liquid with the Ayurvedic mixtures, the immediate uptake became evident through the change of the brain waves. The clients themselves noticed they were experiencing quick health changes, their symptoms were disappearing, and they kept coming back for more, so AMBAYA GOLD grew due to their requests. We have now been making these solutions for 14 years. 
 
I would like to thank all of our clients who have trusted these formulations and followed our suggestions. I love you all and wish you good health.
