MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Chelsey, the maker behind Haila, turned a small maternity-leave project into a heartfelt business inspired by motherhood and a passion for natural living.

Today, she creates beautiful hand-poured soy candles, combining carefully selected scents with creative details that make each candle feel special.

Through Haila, Chelsey has also supported charitable causes close to her heart, bringing together creativity, community, and giving back.
