Our story
Peace By Rest began in 2024 as a dream that Leslie had envisioned for years—a for-profit business designed to support individuals with mental health needs. She discovered her passion for crafting candles and immediately fell in love with the idea of creating scents that could enhance one’s emotions. As a therapist, Leslie often noticed how the power of smell could evoke memories in her clients. Many would recall the comforting aroma of their childhood kitchens and the love associated with their grandparents’ cooking.
This therapeutic use of scent inspired Leslie to extend her vision beyond the therapy room. She believed that if all spaces could be designed to support individuals therapeutically, it would be a wonderful change. Thus, she is "lighting the way" one candle at a time, promoting the idea that all environments can be therapeutic.
Thank you for being here and supporting our work. We appreciate you!
