Mii amo, the renowned destination spa, is pleased to announce the appointment of Holly Palmer to Head Chef. Immersed in Sedonas sacred Native American heritage, Mii amo is heralded for its spiritual experiences, wellness amenities, and imaginative culinary offerings comprised of wholesome and locally-sourced ingredients.
A seasoned and innovative chef, Palmer built her culinary foundation as a child flipping through cookbooks and preparing meals for her father.

The creativity involved in crafting meals that nourished her family eventually lead Palmer to pursue a career in the kitchen.
