About Hand with a Heart

Hand with a Heart is a women-owned artisanal candle company based in Palm Springs, California. We specialize in handcrafting realistic soy wax candle sculptures of cacti, succulents, flowers, and more. The inspiration for Hand with a Heart came during a painful time. When my mother passed away in the Philippines during the pandemic, I was heartbroken that I couldn't travel home to see her one last time. Later, she appeared in a dream, handing me a rose-shaped candle. Unable to find a similar candle in stores, I decided to make my own, and Hand with a Heart was born. Our candles are thoughtfully hand-poured using non-toxic, natural ingredients, so they can be used for safe burning or as lovely decor. We pour our heart and soul into crafting each candle, aiming to enhance any home with its beauty. Family and plants have always been at the center of my joy. I've loved using my creativity to make beautiful things and evoke feelings in others. Although my path brought me to the US for love, which didn't last, I found a new love, and together we built something inspired by my mother’s legacy. My mother handed me a piece of her heart. Now it helps me support my family back in the Philippines. Life is too short not to follow your dreams. Read their story
