Our Story
Our Story
Hightide Natural Products is a small-batch apothecary and lifestyle brand rooted on the wild coast of Cortes Island, British Columbia.
From our homestead in Whaletown, we create handcrafted home, body, and self-care products inspired by the rhythms of nature and the beauty of slow living. Each candle, soap, botanical perfume, serum, soak, and seasonal offering is thoughtfully made using plant-powered, non-toxic, ocean-safe ingredients.
What began at a kitchen table has grown into a family-run studio where creativity, connection, and craftsmanship come together. Alongside our handcrafted products, you’ll find flowers from the garden, seasonal collections, and meaningful rituals designed to bring a little more beauty and intention into everyday life.
At Hightide, we believe self-care is more than a routine—it is a way of returning home to yourself.
Meet Taylor
I’m Taylor—mother, maker, educator, gardener, and Reiki Practitioner.
More than seven years ago, I began my journey into Reiki and energy work, exploring the connection between wellness, intention, and the healing power of slowing down. That practice continues to shape not only my work with clients, but everything I create.
Every product is crafted with the same care and mindful energy that I bring to my energy practice. My hope is that each item becomes part of a simple ritual—an invitation to pause, reconnect, and nurture yourself in a meaningful way.
Whether through a candle lit at the end of a long day, a botanical soak, or the scent of flowers gathered from the garden, I believe small moments of intention can have a profound impact on our wellbeing.

Rooted in the Seasons,
Hightide works in harmony with the changing seasons, blending ethically foraged botanicals with blooms, herbs, and fruit grown throughout our homestead gardens and orchard.
We believe in creating thoughtfully and sustainably. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is wasted. Every product is made with care, honoring the land that inspires it.
Our philosophy is simple:
CONNECTION.
INTENTION.
LAND.
RITUAL.
FAMILY.
These values guide everything we do—from seed to harvest, from creation to community.
Thank you for being here and supporting a small island business built on heart, purpose, and a deep love for the natural world.
