Our journey to calm
A sanctuary born from the need for calm
Within the gentle hush of daily life, Aura and Amity found its beginning, as a sanctuary born from the need for calm amid the whirl of work, family, and caring for others.
The path began as a licensed mental health therapist, holding space for clients longing for steadiness and emotional relief. When the world felt especially loud, the founder reached for something sensory: hand-pouring candles after long days, inhaling fragrances that cocooned her in peacefulness. This became more than a hobby. It became a form of self-care, a tactile ritual that grounded and soothed the spirit.
Curiosity, paired with deep care for women moving through the transitions of life, led to exploring the power of scent in new forms. Guided by a therapist's understanding of emotion, each blend is created with intention, encouraging an unhurried breath and welcome ease.
How we got here
The path, in four chapters
01
A need for calm
Balancing work, family and endless responsibilities left little time for personal well-being. The need for small, intentional moments of calm became impossible to ignore.
02
A personal ritual
Aromatherapy became the first escape. A few drops of essential oil at the end of the day offered relief in a way nothing else could. Then came candles, their soft glow turning everyday spaces into sanctuaries.
03
Crafted with intention
Late nights spent researching, testing and refining each blend. Choosing clean-burning soy wax, sourcing pure essential oils, and crafting scents that uplift, relax and restore.
04
A thriving brand
Today, Aura and Amity is built on the belief that self-care should be effortless, natural, and part of everyday life. A promise that calm belongs to you.
