I come from a proud lineage of makers and entrepreneurs. Strong, hardworking women from Nova Scotia who built their lives with grit, grace, and unwavering perseverance.

Family roots. My grandmother was a waitress, just like I once was, who supported her family while dreaming big enough to build her own small business. She was one of the first women in Nova Scotia to hold a liquor license, running a beloved Bed and Breakfast in Hubbards long before it was common for women entrepreneurs to do so. My mother carried on that spirit, bringing me along while she participated in craft fairs across Nova Scotia and the Maritimes and running gift shops for many years. From them, I learned the value of hard work, community, hospitality, and family traditions that run deep.

The birth of Burning Flame. I started Burning Flame in my kitchen during the uncertain days of 2020, a time when I wasn’t sure what the future held for me. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into something more. A way to honour the women who came before me, carry on our family tradition of craft and hospitality, and bring a little beauty and comfort into other people’s lives.

A memory in every candle. Every candle I pour holds a piece of this journey. Whether it’s the nostalgic scent of fresh laundry drying on the line, the sweet joy of Moonmist ice cream on a sunny day, or the playful fun of Fruit Loops. Each fragrance carries a memory waiting to be discovered.

Made in Nova Scotia, loved everywhere. 🇨🇦
