about us
Ashy Ego isn’t just a candle company - it’s a reflection of purpose, presence, and transformation. Born from a personal healing journey, we craft soulful, sensory products designed to ground, reconnect, and gently support your rituals. Every candle is made with intention, care, and a touch of raw elegance, to help you feel a little more connected, comforted, and at home.

the Personal journey behind Ashy Ego
Meet the Maker: jennifer
Ashy Ego is a woman-owned, small business born from a deeply personal healing journey – one rooted in reconnecting with my femininity, ancestry, and inner self through energetic and spiritual work. What began as a love for the ritual of candle-making has grown into a passion project rooted in purpose and fueled by intention and care. I’ve always been drawn to the power of fire – the way it anchors us in the present, connects us to something ancient, and transforms a space. Creating candles allows me to express myself creatively while offering others a way to experience everyday beauty and simple pleasures.
As a Psychologist, I’ve dedicated my career to helping others reconnect with their true selves – and this brand is an extension of that same commitment to wholeness, wellness, and authenticity. Through Ashy Ego, I aim to support mental health not just symbolically, but tangibly too by donating a portion of every sale to mental health organizations.
This company is deeply personal to me, but it’s also a collective effort. I’m endlessly grateful for the support of my family, friends, and every customer who brings these candles into their homes. I hope you enjoy them as much as I loved creating them for you.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The name Ashy Ego carries layered meaning: it is a blend of my last name and that of my Reiki practitioner, who played a vital role in my healing and creation of this project. It represents the shedding of the ego, the honouring of ancestral roots, and the rebirth that comes from deep inner work. It’s about rising from the ashes, shedding what no longer serves us, and coming home to our essence.
