My Story | From Injury to Intention

Sea Zen began during one of the most difficult chapters of my life.

In 2020, a sports injury left me sidelined for 18 months. I lost more than my ability to play, I lost the routine, purpose, and sense of identity that sport had given me. As I searched for a way forward, I discovered the simple ritual of candle making.

What started as a creative outlet soon became something much more. Working with natural ingredients, slowing down, and creating with intention helped me appreciate the importance of taking care of both my mind and body.

That experience inspired Sea Zen.

Today, every candle is hand-poured in New Zealand using natural soy wax and pure essential oils. More than just creating candles, my goal is to encourage others to slow down, reconnect with nature, and make time for the moments that matter most.

I hope my story reminds you that even life's biggest setbacks can become the beginning of something meaningful.
