Hi, I'm Katia! I love creating courses to help empower and heal.

I'm also the maker behind Lather and Light Co, a virtual school that teaches how to make natural handmade goods.

I use all-natural plant-based ingredients to make soaps, candles, bath blends, scrubs, body butters, creams, serums, teas, balms… and more.

But my main passions are soaps and candles, that’s why the business is called Lather and Light Co.

I read tons of books and blog posts all over the place to learn how to make soaps and candles, looking for all of the best tips and tricks.

I used tons of testing with trial and error and came up with some methods and recipes I'm really happy with. They’ve become the tried and true procedures of my business and I feel confident in sharing these steps with you for your making processes as well.

I'm so excited to share this with you- Let’s get started
