The Founder

Philip Yeardley

Currently 22 and living in Dunedin, making candles from my little home studio. But let’s rewind a bit.

Back in 2020, I got injured playing sport and ended up sidelined for 18 months. That time hit hard, and my mental health took a knock.

Candle-making became part of how I coped. I started blending essential oils, slowing down, and focusing on my well-being. It helped more than I expected and kicked off a journey of self-development I’m still on.

Sea Zen was born from that.
