Recent reviews of DIY Soy Wax Candles Basics for Beginners Workshop
- 5/5 from Anthony, attended Oct 2024: Thank you good class love it cher cherr See you next class thank u very much
- 5/5 from Gabrielle Meloy, attended May 2024: This was really fun. Was ver therapetic. Highly recommended. Nice to do on a Sunday afternoon.
- 5/5 from Anastasia Joseski, attended Nov 2023: Easy going class. Michelle was terrific. Clear instructions with lots of useful tips and tricks. Perfect for beginners.
- 5/5 from Vishodha Sankani, attended Sep 2023: I had a really good time and learnt a lot on the first day as a beginner. Love it and Michelle is a good teacher!
- 5/5 from Karen Clarke, attended Sep 2023: It was a great class and I learnt a lot about candle making. The smell through my house is still going just from the process and having the candles I made. The only suggestion I have is that maybe people to either mute themselves or the teacher to put them on mute as whenever someone spoke or were having conversations with other family members in the background it would bring up the video of them which blocked out Michelle so I missed out on being able to see a couple of things Michelle was doing. Otherwise it was great.
- 5/5 from Wendy Kiss, attended Sep 2023: Class was so informative. Michelle explained everything as we went along. Learnt so much and had a really enjoyable experience giving me the confidence to get stuck in and making my own without any problems. Thankyou Michelle

Over 12 years, she transformed it into a multimillion-dollar enterprise operating across three countries and employing more than 300 staff.Her career was dramatically interrupted by serious health challenges that led to early retirement. During her recovery—following extensive surgeries—Michelle sought out natural, toxin-free alternatives to personal care and household products.
