Our Story

Mental Aromas was created to provide people with handmade candles to boost the mood, mental state, and health. The idea stemmed from Maya Williams, owner of Mental Aromas, after she launched @MayaTheAdvocate, a mental health advocacy page on Instagram.

She was reaching hundreds of people, discussing mental health, self-care, and wellness but she wanted to do more.

Delving into her own personal care regimes, Maya realized how essential aromatherapy can be to your self-care days. She used prior knowledge from her psychology studies, did some research on the curation of candles, and with diligent work, Mental Aromas was born. 

Mental Aromas specializes in candles to promote awareness, relaxation, memory retention, and more. 

Our purpose is to help our customers create their perfect setting. Whether you are studying on a Tuesday night or unwinding on a lazy Sunday evening, Mental Aromas is here to fill your space with purposeful aromatherapy.  

**Please note these candles do not substitute the need for a doctor consultation or medical treatment if you are an individual who suffers from a mental illness or seeking extra therapeutic treatments*
