Leslie Moore
Founder

Founder, Leslie Moore is an entrepreneur through and through and The Candle Creation Bar is her fourth business venture.

She spent her late 20s as an esthetician which led her to become her own boss. In 2010, Leslie quit her job at a waxing salon and traveled to Costa Rica for Yoga Teacher Training. That experience changed her life forever. She spent 7 years teaching yoga and doing esthetic work full time in her own studio. In 2011, Leslie began Yo Soy Candle which was born out of serendipity, her healing journey, and a deep connection to community. From there, she opened up The Candle Creation Bar in 2020 and now it is her full-time manifestation of a dream job!

The Candle Creation Bar was born out of the COVID era in 2020 under sister company, Yo Soy Candle, which was sold to Leslie’s best friend in Jan 2024.

Globally, 2020 was a challenging year for many of us and Leslie thought, let’s put on our masks and learn how to have some fun again.

As the year got harder, more isolating, and heartbreaking; healing and connection were needed more than ever.

The Candle Creation Bar prospered from the deep knowing that we needed a safe, healing, connected space to create and have a good time. The self-crafted "I Am" statements that pair with your candle creation are Leslie’s way of empowering others to open up the doors to their healing journeys and connect with their deeper needs.

Leslie also offer small business consulting, teambuilding and to retreat offerings.

Send Leslie some love or reach out if you would like to work together.
