My name is Jill, and I’m so grateful you’re here.

Northern Wicks and Woods began in 2023, pouring one candle at a time in my kitchen on the shores of Lake Washington in Minnesota. What started as a simple passion grew into something much more meaningful—each candle inspired by the stillness of northern mornings, golden prairie sunsets, and the deep woods I cherish.

I believe in the goodness within all things, in living with integrity, and in embracing life with a spirit of adventure. My love for nature and animals inspires me to create with purpose, and I believe deeply in the healing power of nature and spreading kindness wherever I can.

As this journey grows, I hope to build a business that not only honors the beauty around us, but also supports and uplifts those who need kindness most.
