MS Candle - Moment of Zen Soy Candle
Hand-poured with love in Lake Placid, NY
When my husband Dennis was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, our lives shifted in an instant. MS is unpredictable, exhausting, and at times terrifying. In those early years, we stumbled — trying medications that left Dennis drained, struggling with depression, and learning the hard truth that stress was his greatest enemy.
At our lowest point, Dennis began carving out what he called his Moments of Zen — simple pauses to breathe, rest, and reconnect. Sometimes it was meditation. Sometimes it was lighting a candle and letting the scent shift his mood. Those moments became essential medicine, a daily ritual that helped us find hope again.
For me, this was more than a personal revelation. I had spent years studying stress and its effects on the body — first as a massage therapist, then as a nurse, and later as an aromatherapist. I learned how scent interacts with the limbic system in the brain, the part responsible for emotions and memory. It’s why a single fragrance can lower anxiety, spark calm, or bring comfort.
Dennis’s illness reinforced everything I had studied. It proved just how powerful scent and self-care rituals can be in reducing stress and improving quality of life.
That’s how the Moment of Zen candle was born — created with scent at its heart, love for my husband in every pour, and a fierce desire to help fund a cure.
