About me

Hi, I'm Nicola-the heart behind AlchemyGlow.

AlchemyGlow was created during one of the hardest seasons of my life. After going through triple negative breast cancer treatment and being sat in that chemo chair, I knew I wanted to build something meaningful. Something warm, full of hope.

By day, I work as an apprentice radiographer in interventional radiology for the NHS, I care for patients at some of their most vulnerable moments. Candle making became my therapy, my happy place. A way to slow down and breathe. To create light when things feel heavy.

Every candle is hand-poured by me in the lovely Lancashire town of Burnley. Made with intention, and finished with a wooden heart-because everything I make comes with a piece of mine.

These aren't just candles.

They're messages.

They're milestones.

They're "you rang that bell" moments.

They're gifts of love and appreciation.

AlchemyGlow is about resilience, love and finding beauty in the middle of everything I went through.

Thank you for being here. Truly. 🩶
