The Essence Of Care Vision And Founder
The vision of Essence of Care started when Daniela was in graduate school, studying to be a psychotherapist and noticed the disparity in healthcare, mental health and challenges of adult life. At that point, Daniela started her mission to find ways to balance self care, her Christian faith and mental health care as non negotiable life lines to navigating the world.
Essence of Care is a sanctuary of self-care founded by Daniela Trotman LCSW, a passionate psychotherapist on a mission to blend the art of therapy with the soothing embrace of candlelight.
​
In the heart of our business is the belief that self-care is a holistic journey, and the ambiance we create can be a powerful ally in supporting mental well-being. With Daniela’s background in psychotherapy, we bring a unique perspective to the world of self care, marrying the therapeutic benefits of scents with the expertise of a mental health professional, who is rooted in her Faith.
​
As a psychotherapist, Daniela understands the importance of creating spaces that nurture both the mind and the soul. Drawing on this knowledge, each item from Essence of Care is a carefully crafted composition designed to be more than a source of light. It's an invitation to focus on introspection, relaxation, and a momentarily escape from life's demands.
​
Our candle scents are curated with intention. From the calming embrace of lavender to the sweet scent of berries, each fragrance is chosen to enhance your self-care rituals and contribute to a sense of inner balance and peace.
​
At Essence Of Care, we are not just purveyors of candles; we are advocates for mental well-being and faith. Daniela brings the insights gained from her therapeutic practice into the creation of each product. It's this commitment to your mental health that sets us apart – our candles are designed not just to illuminate your space but to support your emotional journey to practice slowing down and being present for yourself.
