Gabriel Ambrogi serves as the Chef at Momenta Recovery, where he brings his culinary expertise to the vital work of addiction recovery. With a unique approach that views food as an essential component of the healing journey, Gabriel creates nutritious, balanced meals that nourish both body and spirit. His responsibilities extend beyond meal preparation to include thoughtful menu planning, accommodating diverse dietary needs, and fostering meaningful connections around the table.
Gabriel holds dual Bachelor’s degrees in Culinary Arts and Communication-Journalism, along with QMAP certification and specialized training in business marketing. This diverse educational background, combined with his passion for writing, allows him to bring storytelling and emotional insight to his work.
Drawn to addiction recovery through his belief in the healing power of shared stories—whether expressed through food or writing—Gabriel creates environments where clients feel supported and valued. He finds profound meaning in witnessing moments of self-realization in those on their recovery journey, describing it as “a profound privilege” to be part of the reconnection process.
While not a clinical specialist, Gabriel collaborates closely with Momenta’s treatment team, focusing on creating supportive, nurturing environments through food and daily interactions. His approach is deeply human-centered, grounded in empathy, consistency, and the healing power of shared moments.
Outside of work, Gabriel enjoys reading, writing, gaming, and staying active through gym workouts and outdoor activities like swimming and paddleboarding. He brings to his role exceptional emotional awareness, patience, and a genuine ability to hold space for others with compassion and presence.
