Ryan Rege

Ryan is the Director of Operations at Rose Waters Sanctuary, where he oversees the day-to-day operations of the service center and helps cultivate a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all. His background in operations and hospitality has been shaped by more than 20 years in culinary leadership within professional kitchens at Whole Foods, New Seasons Market, and traditional restaurants, including working alongside several James Beard Award-winning chefs.
Over time, Ryan’s path led him to become a private chef in plant medicine retreat spaces, where he found a deeper sense of purpose in supporting people as they move through their healing journeys and inner work - helping create experiences where they feel nourished, grounded, and cared for along the way. He is deeply committed to being in service to those seeking personal growth while continuing to walk his own path of lifelong learning and growth as well.
Ryan is passionate about music, nature, and creating environments where people can slow down, connect, and experience a genuine sense of belonging and community. Above all else, family is at the center of his life, and much of the care he brings into his work is rooted in a deep love of nurturing and supporting the people around him.

Amanda is a mother, nature-lover, dreamer, grief tender, death doula, and massage therapist with over 22 years of immersion in the healing arts.
Her path into this work was shaped through profound loss, trauma, and a near-death experience that unraveled the life she once knew and initiated her into a deep apprenticeship with grief and a long journey of healing.
Psilocybin helped Amanda reconnect with joy, vibrancy, meaning, and parts of herself that grief had buried.
Years of personal work with psilocybin, guidance from wise mentors, and training through InnerTrek as part of the first cohort of licensed facilitators in Oregon offered varied perspectives and training balanced in both science and the sacred.
Her approach is rooted in holistic, nature-based, somatic practices and introspective exploration. Amanda offers clients her grounded presence, compassion, and gentle curiosity to thoughtfully tend to their experience with nurturing, open-minded support so they can feel safe, seen, and cared for while journeying through their inner landscape.
