About Us

Ashley Morgan and Kristin O'Connor are the candle makers and creators of Coping Candles. Both Ashley and Kristin are licensed clinical social workers, with over ten years of clinical experience within the mental health field. Through their friendship, creative energy, clinical experience and knowledge, they have thoughtfully designed Coping Candles. Both Ashley and Kristin live and work in Truckee, California, where all candles are handmade.

Coping Candles are nontoxic soy wax candles that have healing properties from rocks, gems and fragrance oils to help combat general life and specific mental health struggles. These candles are not intended to cure and/or resolve any mental health or general life struggle, but rather to serve as a tool to help cope. These candles all come with a QR code on the back, which takes you to our professional instagram page, where we share free mental health resources and information on how to use your candle to cope. The intent behind these candles is to bring awareness and normalize mental health, all while helping you cope through daily life challenges.
