We’re Ashley and Leslie Saunders, twin sisters who founded The Manifesting Studio after a shared birthday breakdown in a year that tested everything—but also lit a spark. We were done just wishing for better days. We were ready to manifest them.

What started as a quiet ritual between the two of us—crafting our own birthday candles as a symbol of dreaming bigger—quickly became something even deeper. We discovered that nearly all birthday candles on the market were made with toxic paraffin wax, full of chemicals we didn’t want near our cake, let alone our energy. So we created what we couldn’t find: luxury birthday candles made from pure ingredients, hand-poured with intention, and designed to bring meaning, beauty, and clarity to a celebration that sets the tone.

Our signature candles are crafted from 100% natural beeswax, making them food-safe, sustainable, and beautiful enough to reuse. With a one-hour burn time, these mini tapers are made to go beyond the big cake moment and keep your glow (and your goals) burning long after the cake’s been cut.

This is our ritual. Now it’s yours.

Welcome to The Manifesting Studio.

Happy Manifesting.
