Our Story

Hello, beautiful soul.

I’m Noku, the heart behind Seka Candles.

Like so many of us, my path hasn’t been easy. My childhood, teenage years, and early 20s were marked by struggles I didn’t fully understand until I hit my lowest. When I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, it was both a revelation and a turning point. It made me realize how long I had suffered in silence—and that I didn’t want to anymore.

Through my love for candles and my deep respect for the environment, Seka Candles was born. But this brand is about more than just creating beautiful, sustainable candles. It’s about something bigger—a movement of self-love, healing, and mindfulness.

At Seka Candles, we believe that self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Our candles are designed to be a reminder that you deserve softness, peace, and moments of stillness in your busy life. They are for the women who are ready to embark on a journey of radical self-love.

But more than that, Seka Candles is a community. A space where we uplift each other, embrace our healing journeys, and rediscover what it means to truly care for ourselves.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing yourself.

Welcome to Seka Candles—where every flame is a step toward self-love.

With love,
Noku


What does 'Seka' mean?

The brand name Seka Candles originates from the Shona language in Zimbabwe, ‘Seka’ which translates to ‘laugh/smile’.
(Sekerera directly translates to smile but Seka just sounded better)
