My story - I’ve dedicated a career in public service, supporting others through their most difficult moments. Along the way, I faced my own trauma and loss — experiences that deeply shaped me and taught me the power of healing. Manifest was born from that journey. In the quiet of resilience, I turned to candle-making as a form of therapy. What began as a personal practice grew into a way to share light and intention with others. Each candle is crafted with purpose — a symbol of hope, resilience, and the belief that even in our darkest times, we can create something beautiful.  Manifest is more than a brand; it's a reminder that from adversity can come purpose, and perseverance brings joy and light.
