Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm April, founder of Soul Candles. I started this business during a challenging time in my life. My husband had suffered a traumatic brain injury, and as a mom of three; two who are diagnosed with autism, including one who is nonverbal, our home life was anything but easy.
In the midst of it all, I turned to candle making as a way to create calm and healing in our home. What started as self-care quickly became my passion. Now, I handcraft beeswax candles and wellness products to help others find peace too.
Thank you for supporting my journey and this labor of love.

Rooted in Passion, Built with Purpose
My journey began at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, where I earned an Associate’s degree in Culinary Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree in Food Marketing. Those four years gave me more than just a deep understanding of flavor, presentation, and consumer behavior—they taught me how to blend creativity with strategy. Today, I apply that same mindset to Soul Candles, handcrafting products that engage the senses while building a thoughtful and intentional brand. From product development to marketing and customer experience, my education has been the foundation that allows me to run a business rooted in both artistry and purpose.
