About Us
Our Candle Story
Romalite began when our family faced what we call "the graduation cliff" — that quiet moment when the system ends and you’re left asking what now?
When my daughter, who has Down syndrome and autism, graduated, the support stopped. As her caregiver, I lost more than a role — I lost our roadmap. So we started creating something of our own:
first candles, then journals, then a quiet, heart-led business.
What began as a small family project has grown into a mission to create meaningful work and purpose — not just for us, but for others walking their own becoming journey.
Every Romalite candle is hand-poured with care by our inclusive family team, creating not just fragrance for your home, but pathways to independence, dignity, and light for individuals often overlooked in traditional workspaces.
Our family believes in celebrating abilities over limitations.
Through Romalite, we’ve created a space where craftsmanship meets mission — where every product you light carries the warmth of love, intention, and quiet hope.
This is what we built when everything else fell away.
And maybe it’s what you’re meant to build, too.
OUR CANDLE MAKING PROCESS: Each Romalite candle is crafted with care through a thoughtful process that ensures quality and purpose in every step.
