My name is Natalie and I am the chandler and creator of JTK Candle Co. 

JTK is inspired by my love of candles and named after my amazing children Jada, Tianna & Kieran who inspire me everyday. 

JTK was born during yet another hospital stay in 2021- at a crossroads in my life when I needed something to occupy my mind through a time of difficult physical and mental health. 
Working full time was becoming harder to do living with Ulcerative Colitis and Fibromyalgia, my life was working then sleeping, taking meds or at hospital- no enjoyment in my life...no energy for family and friends. 

Officially diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2015 I have since had 7 major operations- including colon removal, complete hysterectomy and stoma’s fitted and reversed. My life as I knew it had changed completely and I didn’t know who I really was anymore. After recovery- then comes the depression and anxiety. Much harder to “heal”

Although times are still hard, flares can be exhausting on my mental and physical health - I am lucky to be supported by my wonderful husband Jaime, who over the last 2 decades has supported every madcap business idea I have put to him - and relentlessly been by my side through the most difficult time in the lives of our family. 

JTK represents our family, a team, creative and artistic. Non conforming and bonded by love.

Find what makes you happy, life is short.
