Sea Zen
Founded by 22-year-old Dunedin local Philip Yeardley, Sea Zen began as a personal journey of healing and mindfulness. After a sports injury in 2020 left him sidelined for 18 months, Philip turned to candle-making as a way to support his mental well-being. Blending essential oils and crafting candles from his home studio soon became more than a hobby - it became a form of calm and creative expression.
Sea Zen was born from that process, offering hand-poured candles that capture the essence of slowing down, breathing deeply, and finding peace in small moments.
