Our Story

-
Hello, beautiful soul.
I’m Noku, the heart behind Seka Candles.
Like many of us, my path hasn’t been straightforward. My childhood, teenage years, and early 20s were marked by struggles I didn’t fully understand until I hit my lowest. Being diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, it was both a revelation and a turning point and Im still on my healing journey.
Learning how to navigate my mental health day by day. Candle making has been one of the pillars that’s kept me grounded, a gentle practice that reminds me to pause, breathe, and reconnect with myself when the world feels heavy. Out of this practice 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.
It’s a space for evolving self-connection, a reminder that self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Each candle is created to hold space for softness, stillness, and peace, for those moments when you need to return to yourself.They are for the women who are ready to embark on a journey of radical self-love.
I hope that to you, 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
