In the midst of the 2020 whirlwind, Kristina found a creative spark that lit up her spare time: crafting nontoxic candles! With a passion for wellness and sustainability, she began making stunning cement vessels that would beautifully cradle her handmade soy wax candles. Each candle is infused with delightful scents, transforming any space into a soothing sanctuary. Fueled by love for the environment and a desire to bring joy to others, Kristina's artisanal candles are a celebration of self-care and conscious living, illuminating homes with warmth and laughter.
The Chakra Collection holds a special place in her heart. Kristina grew up in a mindful home because her mother, Diana embodies the true essence of a healing goddess. Growing up in a home where holistic healing took priority, energy healing is not a far stretch. Inpired by her work, Kristina also underwent Reiki certifications and learning about energy healing and our Chakra system. Each candle scent is curated to embody the chakra center paired with a crystal that will help support that chakra center, all whilst perfoming Reiki on the candle creation.
