What makes Jamie Ferriman with Bri Candles LLC a good neighbor?
When tragedy strikes, some people find extraordinary ways to transform their deepest pain into purpose. Jamie Ferriman's story with Bri Candles LLC exemplifies this remarkable journey. After losing her daughter Bridgett to suicide in 2022, Jamie sought a way to honor her memory while helping others struggling with similar challenges. The result is a heartfelt business that launched January 1, 2024, offering natural candles and bath essentials with names that tell stories from Bridgett's life.
What makes Bri Candles unique goes beyond the products themselves. Jamie describes her collection as "a book in candles," with each product representing meaningful moments, feelings, or sayings from her daughter's life. This personal touch creates an emotional connection that resonates with customers. Additionally, a portion of all proceeds supports foundations focused on suicide prevention, embodying Bridgett's desire to help others. Jamie's powerful message throughout our conversation was simple yet profound: "You're not alone." Having experienced both sides of the suicide equation—losing someone and navigating the aftermath—she offers genuine compassion to those struggling.
Behind the scenes, Jamie dispelled the myth that candle-making is easy, describing it as "complete chemistry" requiring significant expertise. Her all-natural ingredients are specifically formulated to help people with allergies and skin conditions (originally developed for her son who reacted to store-bought products). Her dedication to quality and mission has earned her recognition as the top candle designer of 2025 by the International Association of Top Professionals.
