About

Amanda began Dakini Tidal Wilds in 2003, when it became crystal clear that hand-harvesting in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest was both a passion needing to be fulfilled and a way to offer unique medicines to those around her. Having received her BSc+ in Marine Biology, Amanda furthered her education by apprenticing for two years with a wise herbal teacher, Bernice Woolham, and studying with the ‘Kelp Doctor’ Dr. Louis Druehl. Education is a continual priority, as Amanda teaches people about seaweeds and herbs all the way from elementary schools to universities and any interested folks in between.

All of Dakini Tidal Wilds’ offerings are or are made with wild-crafted ingredients harvested with the utmost intention of sustainability, love and reverence for the local land and sea. Her seaweeds are only ‘pruned’, leaving the rest of the seaweed to continue growing. Harvesting at the most ideal time of the season ensures a quality unique to Dakini Tidal Wilds’ products. The absolute joy of being immersed in the Pacific Northwest infuses these products with a spirit unique to our beloved island.
