The name Deeper Roots comes from the saying “storms make trees take deeper roots”.  Our family weathered a few storms in the last few years; including cancer and the sudden loss of a 20-year career.  These storms led our family to grow deeper roots and strengthened our bonds with each other.  After coming out on the other side of these storms, we started this business as a creative outlet, to supplement our income, and to honor our family.  Each candle in our original collection was specifically curated and named with a different family member in mind. Each candle is a custom blend of fragrances that we hope will remind you of your family, or maybe take you back to a sweet time in your life.
