About

Hi! I'm Lydia, the founder of Little Valley Aromas. After years of constant burn out from highly demanding and stressful roles working as a nurse manager, I would look forward to coming home every evening to relax and unwind with a lamp on and a candle burning. Something I am sure you can relate to in the current 'all work and no play' culture!

After continuously trying to find the perfect candle or wax melt that didn't break the bank or that wasn't made from hazardous paraffin wax, I thought why not make my own? What started out as just making candles for myself, soon became something I did for friends and family and my go to for gift giving was, of course one of my own handpoured candles.

Fast forward 4 years and having found myself on maternity leave with my second daughter, I decided to make a go of building my brand and business. I set out to create a collection of candles and wax products made from sustainable, vegan friendly and cruelty free soy, coconut and rapeseed wax. With each product individually designed and handcrafted by myself with premium fragrance and essential oils, to give you a clean burn, a beautiful aroma and a statement piece for your home. Each piece has been thoroughly thought out and our signature range has been inspired by my home in the welsh valleys and the beautiful nature that surrounds us, which we often don't recognise in our busy lives.

For me, Little Valley Aromas is about bringing you luxury indulgence, tranquility, uplifting fragrances and nature inspired pieces that you can share with your friends and family. All of this would not be possible without the endless support of my partner Martin, and his encouragement to do what I love, everyday. His input when I have mind block has been invaluable to say the least!

So welcome! Join me on my journey and experience the joys of the aromas of Little Valley Aromas.
