“The course was excellent. Paula’s passion for the subject really shone through and I particularly appreciated her talking about the business side of things. She also spent time talking about the safety aspects and that was so insightful. I would definitely recommend this course. I have done a workshop before with another company and it in no way measured up to Paula’s course which was exceptional. Thank you Paula for your passion and dedication to such an interesting and lovely topic. I came away with 2 beautiful scented candles which I have gifted to family and they loved them.”
“I had the pleasure of attending both the Candle and Reed Diffuser Courses by Paula. Both were extremely informative and provided great hands-on practice and guidance. I learnt the valuable practical skills and crucial information I needed for prepping to start my own business, that I can’t imagine I could have gotten anywhere else! It was exactly what I needed to have such an amazing launch. I would absolutely recommend her course.”
