Botanical Wellness, Made by Hand.
Candles, herbal blends, and ritual objects crafted in small batches — rooted in the Afro-Caribbean and Indigenous traditions of plant medicine.
Maybe you've grown tired of wellness that feels manufactured. Of candles that smell like a chemical interpretation of a flower. Of products made by hands that never touched the plants inside them.
You're looking for something different. Something made by someone who knows what's in it — and why.
The same medicine, in a different form.
Every candle is hand-poured. Every herbal blend is hand-mixed. Every product carries the same therapeutic intention I bring to my clinical work — because the candle on your altar and the supplement on your nightstand are part of the same medicine.
The plants in these products did not come from a catalog. They came from a lineage. From Afro-Caribbean herbalism, from Indigenous traditions of offering and ceremony, from twenty years of practice naming what they do and why they matter.

Candle
Hibiscus & Rose
Soy wax hand-poured with dried hibiscus and rose. Calming and grounding — meant to anchor a morning ritual or quiet the noise at the end of the day.
Candle
Sacred Tobacco & Herb
Tobacco leaf with cleansing herbs — a ceremonial offering, not a vice. For purification, grounding, and energetic clearing of a space.
Bundle
Wellness Ritual Bundle
Two candles plus one herbal tea blend. A complete starter ritual — or a thoughtful gift for someone who needs space to come home to themselves.
Candle
Sacred Feminine Ritual
Rose, jasmine, and damiana. For intention-setting, meditation, and the kind of self-love that is not performance but practice.
Herbal Blend
Gut Healing Tea
Practitioner-formulated. Slippery elm, marshmallow root, and ginger to soothe and restore the gut lining. The blend I reach for first in my own client work.
Gift Set
Practitioner Gift Set
One candle, one herbal tea blend, and a digital botanical wellness guide. Curated for the wellness-minded woman in your life — or for yourself.
What's actually in your candle.
Every botanical is chosen for its therapeutic properties and sourced with intention. Here's what each one does, and where it comes from in my lineage.
Hibiscus
The flower of slow medicine. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, supportive of cardiovascular and skin health.
In the Afro-Caribbean tradition I come from, hibiscus tea — known as sorrel — has anchored generations of healing, ceremony, and celebration.
Sacred Tobacco
Used ceremonially by the Indigenous peoples of the Americas for thousands of years.
In this form, tobacco is not a vice. It is a prayer plant — used for purification, grounding, and offering. Honored in every leaf.
Rose
The queen of botanicals. Rose supports emotional healing, heart coherence, and is one of the few plants the nervous system can feel as soon as you smell it.
Used across every cultural tradition I know of as the plant of the heart. Universal medicine.
Soy Wax
Clean-burning, non-toxic, biodegradable. Holds botanical fragrance without releasing the chemicals that conventional paraffin candles do.
Because the container of medicine matters as much as the medicine itself.
Why I called the shop Atabey's Love.
Atabey is the Taíno goddess of fresh water, fertility, and motherhood — the great mother in the Indigenous Caribbean tradition my ancestors came from.
I named the shop for her because the work I do — these candles, these blends, the candle-pouring itself — is offered in her line. She is the lineage. Every product carries her love.

Important notes about botanical candles
Dried herbs and botanicals placed on top of the wax are decorative and aromatic. Always keep candles within sight while burning and never leave unattended.
Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time, and let the wax cool completely before relighting.
Place on a heat-safe surface away from drafts. Discontinue use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
