Candle making began as a creative outlet during a difficult season in my nursing career. Like many new grads in the Emergency Department, I struggled with confidence, stress, and the toll it took on my mental health, especially through the challenges of 2020. Creating candles gave me a way to slow down, breathe, and separate work from life. Each finished candle felt like a small victory, a moment of peace made by my own hands, and a reminder to leave my nurse brain at the door. What started as a personal comfort has since grown into Comfort Measures Candle Co. - a collection born from inspiration, resilience, and the desire to share that same calm with others.

Thank you for supporting a dream years in the making. With over a decade in healthcare - starting as a CNA in a skilled nursing facility and now practicing as an RN - I’ve seen firsthand the highs, lows, and humor that come with the job. These candles are inspired by nursing processes, inside jokes, and playful nods meant to bring a smile to fellow healthcare workers. Creating them has been a joyful outlet, a crossover between work and home life that continues to lift my spirits. I hope they bring you the same comfort and light after a long shift.

Happy burning (without the burnout)!
