Whispers Passed Down

A small studio in Waxhaw, North Carolina.

I have always felt blessed, but my path has not always been easy. Over the last five years, I went through some very difficult moments, especially with panic attacks and anxiety. It was during that time that I began to look more deeply within, trying to understand my feelings, my essence and who I truly was. The more I studied and learned about myself, the more I began to notice things I could not see before. Then one day I came across a video by Priscila, who would later become my spiritual mentor. I felt an immediate connection with her words, and that is how I began to deepen my spiritual studies, my connection with nature and my search for my ancestry.

In time, I felt the need to find my own path, something aligned with who I was becoming. So I asked for a sign, a direction. After that, I kept coming across content about making candles, soaps and other handcrafted goods. It sparked my curiosity in a very special way. I consulted an oracle, and what I understood from it confirmed, for me, that this was the path to explore. I decided to follow that inspiration. I began to study, research and experiment with ingredients, getting to know herbs, resins, waxes and scents. I discovered the beauty of turning elements of nature into creations made with my own hands. And I fell in love with the process.

That is how Whisper of the Ancestors was born, in 2026. The name represents the connection I feel with those who came before me, with my roots and with the ancestral wisdom I value so deeply. I believe our story does not begin when we are born. We are part of something much bigger, built by the generations before us, especially, for me, the strong women of my family. Every candle, soap and incense I make is the result of this journey. Each collection represents an intention: a moment of reflection and a chance to connect with yourself. I did not create this brand just to sell products. I created it because I found something I love to do, something that brings together my creativity, my spirituality and my respect for nature. Whisper of the Ancestors is a part of me, of my story and of the path I chose to follow.

“The ancestors whispered. I listened. And now, I create.”

Those Who Came Before

Every family carries voices that came before it: hands that worked, recipes kept by heart, small rituals repeated at the end of the day.

This is our way of honoring them. Each piece we make is a quiet conversation between what was handed down and what we choose to carry forward.

In Laiany's Words

When I create

I feel a deep joy, because I found something I truly love to do. I like choosing the ingredients, blending scents, working with my hands and following every step of the transformation. More than making something to sell, I feel I am putting a little of myself into every creation.

Learning by hand

I studied waxes, soap bases, herbs, resins, essential oils and handmade incense, and tested a lot. Not every first attempt worked: some formulas had to be adjusted and some scents were not what I imagined. But every attempt taught me something, and I keep learning.

For you

You don't need to follow any religion or spiritual practice to enjoy what I make. I want each person to feel free to find their own meaning in it, and to feel, when opening a set, an invitation to slow down, take care of yourself and enjoy the moment.
