Hi! I’m Amanda —

I’m the founder of The Slow Seeker and a proud Latina who’s spent over a decade building meaningful relationships with communities, organizations, and corporations in the U.S. and abroad.

I’m also a dog mom to my gentle giant Duffy (a one-hundred-pound Great Pyrenees/Lab mix rescue), an environmentalist, and a passionate secondhand reseller.

Life can feel overwhelming and fast-paced, but I’ve found my peace in slowing down — and that’s exactly why I created The Slow Seeker!

 
 

Behind The Slow Seeker

The Slow Seeker was born in 2020, during a time when the world, and my own life, felt too overwhelming. Like many, I struggled with anxiety and needed an outlet that allowed me to feel grounded. Fashion has always been my creative escape, so I combined that passion with my desire for a slower, more intentional life. And voilà—The Slow Seeker came to life!

At its heart, The Slow Seeker is about more than just clothes; it's about finding some type of balance and impact (however big and small) in a chaotic world. Many of us try to cope with anxiety by turning to mindless distractions — scrolling social media, binge-watching TV — only to feel more drained. I wanted to create a space that offers a different path, one that serves as a reminder to slow down in ways that recharge rather than deplete you.

Through secondhand fashion, sustainable living tips, and thoughtful conversation, The Slow Seeker's overarching purpose is care: care for yourself, others, and this planet. So, if that sounds right up your alley, WELCOME!

Whether you’re pressed for time, money, or energy, there’s a place for you here. 

I’m SOOOOO glad you’re here💛

 


The Slow Shop

The Slow Seeker Shop is a curated vintage & thrift shop that aims to reduce textile waste and normalize circular fashion!

I've been scouring the internet for vintage since '07 and am thrilled I now get to look for one-of-a-kind pieces for you too!

I look for versatile and statement pieces that you can easily incorporate into your existing wardrobe! Size inclusivity is VVVV important to me so please know that I try to be mindful of ALL body types. ❤

 


The Slow Journal

Your no-nonsense space to listen and learn. It wasn’t until I slowed down and listened, that I began to understand my worth and capabilities — we tend to forget both when we’re operating on cruise control or high speed!

I know you're inundated with info so I try to keep my journal entries short & sweet 😘
