Our Story

White Light Candles was born in 2012 through the vision of my beautiful mother, Trish. She dreamed of creating candles that were more than just fragrance they were meant to fill the air with love, whilst also nourishing the body and soul. She often said: "Why waste a candle after it's burnt? You might as well use it too." With that thought, she began experimenting with different waxes, body safe fragrances, and organic oils until the perfect blend was created.

Trish's hands were magic. Whether it was candles, beaded necklaces, or paintings, she poured her creativity into everything she touched. Sadly, after her second battle with cancer, she grew her angel wings in 2016 at 45 years old.

Two months after her passing, I received a mysterious delivery of candle wax and jars to my front door. My. mother hadn't been making candles for some time due to her being terminally ill, so I was quite confused.

I checked her accounts, her emails-there was no trace of an order ever being placed. I called the candle supply store and they mentioned she had called up and placed the order a few days ago. I had everything I needed to continue White Light Candles & Gifts it was sitting right at my doorstep.

I truly believe my mum's spirit guided those supplies to me. It was her way of telling me to continue what she started. From that moment, White Light Candles & Gifts became not just a business, but a legacy.

Today, I've expanded her dream into something even more special creating body moisturising candles and custom keepsakes that celebrate love, wellness, and the sacredness of memory.

My hope is that every candle and self-care product I create makes you feel empowered, nourished, and beautiful. I hope they bring warmth, healing, and unforgettable memories into your home.

As my mother always said... "Namaste."

Lots of love,
