My affinity for candles turned into me making them to share with the world. Scent has the power to transform spaces and moods. I enjoy the candle making process, it helps ground me and feel present throughout the process.

What I’m Passionate About

 

How I Found Yoga

Empowering and inspiring others to reach their full potential.

Vintage shopping. Yoga. God. Marketing. Home design. Making candles.

I found myself overstressed , over worked and very much uninspired. I lived in a small Brooklyn apartment with 5 roommates and barely had enough space to think straight. I needed a change. A new studio opened up in my neighborhood so I randomly decided to pop in for a class.... that day I fell in love with yoga. 

I knew none of the poses or the names and I fumbled through the entire class but my heart felt so full. During my first savanna the teacher played a solemn 60’s blues track and candles flicker along the borders of the studio walls. That day I was hooked.

 

What Inspires Me

Sunshine. Beautifully designed spaces. Bubble baths. Candles. Sweaty yoga classes. The beach. Travel.
