Amber (Amber Liberté)

Community Manager & Fitness Coach

I’m from a tiny island not dissimilar to Japan, but far away, Aotearoa/New Zealand!My main love is movement, through dance, fitness, surfing, hiking, making things, or connecting with people globally. It’s not just work, it’s lifestyle. Alongside that, I have a deep love for art and community, which I believe can help save the world. I’ve built a career as an artist and fitness coach, working independently and contracting with companies like Netflix, Warner Bros, and various arts and fitness organizations.I thrive on variety, but dancing and moving with people will always be my number one.


What I love about Izu–Shimoda

Shimoda feels like home. With its warm people, nature, and stunning scenery close to the world’s biggest city, I feel my soul belongs here. Every day is an adventure that fuels my art and my love of uplifting community. Plus, it’s the only place in Japan I’ve found with a tattoo-friendly gym, an ultra win!
