Hey! I’m Taiynesha – the maker, dreamer, and hot-glue-everything-er behind A&T Apothecary. I started this business as a way to ground myself during some of the toughest seasons of my life. As someone living with ADHD, anxiety, and depression, candle-making became more than a hobby-it became a ritual, a refuge, and eventually, a whole vibe.
I’m a Métis, Italian, and Nigerian Red Seal electrician by trade, a plant-obsessed candle witch by heart, and someone who believes that healing should smell good, feel sacred, and maybe even make you laugh a little.
When I’m not vending at markets or mixing up a new intention candle, you’ll find me on the softball field with my badass team of ladies, or hanging with my 3-year-old dog Lennox, who’s also my top employee and quality control manager.
At A&T Apothecary, every product is hand-poured with intention-from spiritual tools and energy-cleansing bundles to cheeky novelty candles. You’ll find me at local markets across BC, and in shops like UEL Granville Island, Guildford Makers, and the Chilliwack Homemade Community Store.
Thanks for being here-and welcome to the A&T community
