About Me

Hi, I’m Mandi, the heart behind Ember Wyk.

I’m a wife, a mother of two, and I’ve proudly served in the United States Air Force for nearly 19 years. As my kids have gotten older, I’ve finally found space to return to the things I love: reading, creating, and working with my hands.

I’ve always known I wanted to make something, but for a long time, I felt like I lacked the artistic talent to bring that to life. That’s where candles came in.

What started as a hobby quickly became something more. I set out to create something cozy to elevate my quiet reading moments. I had just gotten back into reading and those moments felt like a form of self care.

Like so many moms, I had put books down while raising my kids and navigating life. But when I picked them back up again, it felt like rediscovering a part of myself I didn’t realize I had been missing. Reading became my reset, my ritual, my way to step into another world, even if just for a little while.

Ember Wyk was born from that feeling.

Every candle I create is designed to elevate your reading ritual. To pull you deeper into the story, engage your senses, and give you a moment that’s entirely your own. The soft crackle of a wooden wick, the scent of something familiar yet magical, the glow of candlelight...it’s all part of the experience.

I hope Ember Wyk fills your space with as much joy, relaxation, and magical escape as it has for me. Hi, I’m Mandi — the heart behind Ember Wyk.
