Meet Heather

At The Happy Lotus Candles my focus is authenticity; I pour each candle with the intention that lighting it will help YOU feel a little more like your most authentic, true self…the self that shines through when you feel safe and secure. Whether your comfiest space is with family & friends, a good book, or under a warm blanket, my candles help to connect you with that feeling and thus, that version of yourself.

Each candle purchased is an investment in a product made by hand in my home, to provide light and warmth in yours.

I’ve had an obsession with candles and fire since I was around ten years old. Over the years this obsession has shown up in many ways: melting crayons over candles, working at a candle shop, burning candles in my home at all times, and now, making candles as my [dream] job.

I made my first candle in 2016 and was excited when it stayed lit...for 5 minutes before self-extinguishing. But I was determined to make this work because for the 5 minutes that that flame was flickering, I was overjoyed that I had made a working candle.

Fast forward to today: my candles stay lit for hours, not minutes, and I’m still just as happy that I get to make candles for a living. I hope you enjoy my candles as much as I enjoy making them; I look forward to working with you!
