Wick2Whispers

I’m Sophia, the founder of Wick2Whispers—a business dedicated to crafting handmade candles that encourage relaxation and self-connection.My candle-making journey began as a therapeutic outlet during a stressful season of life. I discovered that blending scents, designing candles, and seeing the finished creation not only calmed my own mind but also brought joy and peace to those who used them. That realization sparked my passion: using this craft to help others find their own moments of stillness and mindfulness.Teaching has always been close to my heart. Before launching my business, I spent three years teaching Sunday school, where I learned how to connect with people, adapt to different learning styles, and foster a warm, welcoming environment. Now, I bring those same skills into my candle-making workshops—guiding students step by step while encouraging creativity and confidence along the way.Something unique about my workshops is the emphasis on storytelling and meaning. Each candle I design carries a purpose—for example, The Gatekeeper represents protection and resilience, while Lavender Whisper evokes calm and clarity. One of my proudest milestones was having my work featured on NBC News, affirming that what I create resonates beyond the wax and wick.Beyond candle-making, I’m also a psychology student at Southern New Hampshire University. This background allows me to weave in the science of scent and how it shapes our emotions and environment, deepening the impact of each workshop.Over the years, I’ve worked with everyone from complete beginners to seasoned crafters. My workshops are never just about making candles—they’re about sparking creativity, sharing stories, and creating a space for people to slow down and reconnect with themselves.If you’re looking to learn a new skill in an uplifting, supportive environment, I’d love to welcome you. Together, let’s craft something meaningful, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
