Teaching you to make your own handcrafted soaps and candles, for yourself, your family, or your own small business. 



It's the smell that draws you in. You see the handcrafted soaps and candles in a local botique shop or at a farmers' market, and you can smell them wafting in the air just feet from the table. 

Before you know it, you have pulled out your wallet and purchased a bundle becuase you needed options! 

  • What if you could make them yourself? Better, what if you could be the one supplying the store with them?
  • Have you always loved the smell of handcrafted soaps and candles and wish you could make them yourself?
  • Have you considered a soap and candle making business, but don't know where to start? 


Handcrafting Soaps and Candles from Scratch

Making soaps and candles for yourself or your own small business can feel complicated. It can feel overwhelming to learn a skill largely lost to our our fast-paced modern culture of grocery store stops and Amazon purchases. 

If you've tried to look into this yourself already, you may have been inundated with chemicle labels you didn't understand, scent options that left you confused, and warning labels that sounded scary. 

You are not alone, many others have felt the same way. 


Let me teach you how to become a Soap and Candle maker

Hi, my name is Jen and I've been mentoring Soap and Candle makers for over 28 years. I've been a featured contributing writer to "Making Soap - Cosmetics & Candles" magazine. I will walk you through step-by-step from knowing nothing, to having your very own Soaps and Candles.

As a bonus, for those of you want your own small business, I will walk you through the process of finding markets and venues, putting together a media package for set-up in local stores, and help you avoid the mistakes I made when I first started out. 

Whether you want a small business or just want to start making them for youself and your family, I will be your tour guide and make this process simple.
