Who We Are

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read about my journey. Meliora was created at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic after I lost my job and was going through a very hard time with my mental illness. I wish I could say Meliora was started as a passion project, but it was started as last resort from a broken girl with no confidence, self-worth and absolutely no future plans. 

Starting Meliora was the best move I have ever made. It allowed me to believe in myself and feel passionate for what felt like the first time in my life; it felt like the first time I hadn’t failed. This business encouraged me to open up to and connect with new people in a way I never thought myself worthy or capable.

Now 3 years later, I’m working for myself full-time doing something I love all because strangers decided to believe in me and my products. Seeing the difference we’ve made in peoples everyday self-care routines is the best part of this journey. I will always be an advocate for mental health and self-care; and I hope you will become part of that journey with me.

I truly appreciate this small community we have built, and I hope you feel apart of it when you're burning our candles. Meliora is my pride and joy and I hope you feel the same pride and joy when you indulge in the best form of self-care: burning our candles (maybe we are a little biased). Your support goes a very long way and helps fund a local woman-owned small business. 

Thank you for believing in me :)

Sincerely, Sydney
