Wellness Contributor-Partner Spotlight: SacredScents44

Lighting the Path to Healing, Wholeness, and Legacy

Gifted by: Founder Yanil Maldonado

Founded by Yanil Maldonado, Sacred Scents 44 is a woman-owned candle company born from a deeply personal journey of self-love, healing, and transformation.

Each hand-poured candle is crafted with all-natural essential oils and premium fragrances, designed to bring peace, warmth, and balance into sacred spaces — homes, studios, offices, and the hearts of those who dwell within them.

This year, Sacred Scents 44 is partnering with The Business of You: A Wealth & Wellness Retreat by gifting candles for the event’s self-care swag bags — each one infused with intention and love to help participants slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with their inner light.

“Every batch is created with you in mind.
Sacred Scents 44 is the perfect companion for your sacred space — wherever peace finds you.”

A Journey of Healing & Purpose

Yanil’s vision for Sacred Scents 44 began during her own process of inner healing and self-discovery. Through scent and ritual, she found her way back to herself — and now helps others do the same.

In 2022, she expanded her business to include candle-making workshops, giving individuals a hands-on, therapeutic space to reduce stress, practice mindfulness, and find joy in the present moment.

Each class and candle carries her belief that healing begins with presence — that something as simple as lighting a candle can be a radical act of love, intention, and self-trust.

Beyond the glow of her creations, Yanil is a community advocate and mother of two daughters, dedicated to uplifting other entrepreneurs and empowering future generations of women to build businesses rooted in compassion, creativity, and courage.

Her Message to Survivors

“To every survivor:
You are not defined by what you went through.
You are defined by your courage, your resilience, and the way you continue to rise each day.
Healing takes time — there is no right pace.
Be gentle with yourself.”
— Yanil Maldonado, Founder of Sacred Scents 44

Yanil’s words remind us that even in the hardest moments, your light cannot be dimmed. You are stronger than you realize, braver than you know, and more cherished than you may feel.

Through her candles and her message, she invites every woman to create space for stillness, safety, and renewal — to remember that we all carry light, and we are all worthy of peace.

A Gift of Light & Love

Through her generosity, Sacred Scents 44 helps illuminate The Business of You retreat with the healing energy of candlelight — symbolizing rebirth, reflection, and resilience.

Together, we honor the ways women build legacy through love, how they turn pain into purpose, and how — in every flame — they find their way home.
