our story
The Art, The Studio, The Philosophy
Our work grows from three intertwined branches, each rooted in creativity, connection, nature, and community. Nature’s Kindle is where scent and storytelling meet, offering candles and apothecary goods crafted with intention. Wildroot Studio is our lofted creative haven above the pines, a place for slow living and inspired making. And Kindle & Root reflects our art therapy work, where creativity becomes a pathway to grounding, reflection, and inner belonging.
Together, they form the heart of what we do: creating experiences, objects, and spaces that invite people to slow down, reconnect, and find beauty in the everyday.
Nature's Kindle candles & goods
Born from the wild heart of the Pacific Northwest, our fragrances are crafted to awaken memory, emotion, and a deep sense of place. Each blend draws inspiration from towering ancient forests, rugged salt‑washed coastlines, and the moss‑soft mountains that shape our everyday landscape. These scents aren’t just aromas, they’re invitations to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what feels real.
Our clean, neutral aesthetic reflects the simplicity of nature itself. Thoughtfully designed vessels, understated labels, and minimal packaging allow each candle to blend effortlessly into any home,
any style, any season.
From the look to the feel to the fragrance, every element is intentionally crafted to create a sensory experience that elevates your space and soothes your soul. This is the essence of the unencumbered PNW lifestyle: pure, grounded, and beautifully alive.
wildroot Studio
Wildroot Studio is our heart-space.
A cozy, moss‑kissed haven tucked between forest and garden, created for those who crave beauty, slowness, and meaningful making. It’s where art and nature meet, where hands find rhythm again, and where stories, memories, and emotions have room to breathe.
Inside these walls, candles are poured with intention, journals bloom with collage and color, and community gathers around shared creativity. It’s a place to reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the quiet wisdom of the natural world.
Whether you come to craft, to rest, to learn, or simply to be held by a softer pace, Wildroot Studio welcomes you home to your own wild, rooted self.
kindle & root
Kindle & Root is the philosophy that guides our art therapy work- a belief that creativity, connection, nature, and community are essential forms of nourishment. Through hands‑on experiences including mixed media arts, candle‑making, journaling, and sensory crafting, we explore the stories and emotions that live beneath the surface, allowing them to unfold with gentleness and intention.
This approach is rooted in the same values that shape Nature’s Kindle and the spirit of Wildroot Studio: slowing down, listening inward, and honoring the rhythms of the natural world. It isn’t about producing perfect art, it’s about grounding, clarity, and the quiet sense of belonging that comes from creating with purpose.
Kindle & Root reflects our belief that creativity is a pathway home, a way to reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the wider landscape that holds us all.
