Our Story

Just like one candle loses nothing in lighting another, so too can positivity be spread from one person to the next with no loss in the intensity of its light.

We are three medical students, seeking to create an easy and accessible daily reminder to stay positive and prioritize your well being.

Our names are Hailey, Elena, and Océane. We are three medical school students who became friends in our first week of school. Inundated with the pressures of performing in medical school, we realized the importance of finding balance and prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being. This may seem like an insurmountable task, but sometimes something as simple as lighting a candle can serve as a gentle reminder to redirect your thoughts toward gratitude and love. Creating Sapiessence has served as a respite from our textbooks and flashcards. We hope that lighting our candles will provide you the same joy and relaxation that we find in pouring them.
