Karen Graham’s ‘world changed overnight’ and her mental wellbeing plummeted after being diagnosed with neurological conditional, multiple sclerosis.

A mum who found solace in a new hobby after a devastating diagnosis has turned it into a flourishing business. In June 2022, Karen Graham was hit with the news that she had multiple sclerosis .

Karen said: “Candle making is very therapeutic, it’s a creative outlet that takes the focus away from what is going on. It helped Chris and I massively. We contacted Candle Shack, who are a brilliant UK candle making supplier, and really thought about setting up a candle making business on the side.”

“Candle making gives me something to work towards and look forward to each day. The studio we created in our back garden is my happy place. It’s improved my mental wellbeing so much. Considering the success while having this condition, I do feel incredibly proud and almost want to pinch myself. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
