Mikayla, Founder

Built from something real.

Mikayla is a labor and delivery nurse, mother of two, and the founder of Upsensed. With 10 years of nursing experience, Mikayla has spent much of her career caring for women and families during some of life’s most emotional and transformative moments.

After years of balancing motherhood, nursing, and her own mental health journey, Mikayla began making candles as a creative outlet: a way to slow down, reconnect with herself, and turn her love of fragrance into something meaningful. What started as a personal ritual eventually became the foundation for Upsensed.

The Upsensed Difference

A creamy, high-performing blend of coconut and apricot waxes: enjoy a cleaner, slower burn with a wax that performs as luxe as it looks.

No metal, just clean-burning, 100% cotton

Every scent starts with what isn't in it. Free from phthalates, parabens, reproductive toxins, carcinogens, mutagens, and organ toxins

Every purchase gives back. 5% goes directly to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America: because we believe fragrance can shift a mood/feeling, but some need more than a candle.

Not a warehouse. Not a production line. Mikayla handcrafts every Upsensed product in her candle studio. Every purchase supports a small woman-owned & operated brand, and an actual person does a happy dance.
