About Us

 

 
 
Hello. I’m Martin, the founder of Quietivity.
 
 
I created Quietivity not just as a brand but as an invitation to find time and space for self-reflection—a journey that began during a time of deep personal struggle.

 


  
In 2016, my life reached a crossroads. I was grappling with the weight of financial struggles, the loss of a business, and a profound sense of isolation. Depression took hold, and I felt unable to communicate the depth of what I was experiencing. I became withdrawn and convinced I had no path forward. In my darkest moments, I questioned my purpose and place in the world, feeling like the world would be better off without me.
 
 
 


Desperate for an outlet, I journaled, finding refuge in writing. Each day, I would drive to a nearby Starbucks, sit for hours, and let my thoughts flow onto the pages of my journal. This practice allowed me to explore my emotions and slowly resolve my inner turmoil. Journaling helped me rebuild my sense of self, allowing me to reconnect with who I was beneath the layers of fear and doubt.
 



 
 Journaling and meditation became my daily self-care practices, but maintaining consistency was challenging. Only when I began lighting candles during my sessions did these practices transform. The ritual of lighting a candle created a dedicated moment of calm and focus, helping me build the habit of consistency. Over time, this ritual became essential to my healing, grounding me daily.
 
 


 
As friends and family noticed the shift in me, they urged me to share the tools and practices that had helped me rebuild my life. They believed that I could offer others a space for mindful self-care, and from this encouragement, Quietivity was born. Through Quietivity, I created tools that reminded me to write, reflect, and reconnect with myself daily.
 
 
 
 
Many of our customers have found their own ways to use Quietivity candles to create moments of peace and reflection. I often hear from people who use the candles as a silent timer for focused work, meditation, prayer, or to carve out some personal space in a hectic day. Some even use them to write books or complete long-standing creative projects, finding a new consistency and rhythm through the ritual of lighting a candle. It is incredible to see how these simple, silent-timer candles have become part of their journey toward balance and calm.
 
 


Quietivity is more than a brand—it’s a growing community of individuals, each finding their own path to mindfulness and self-care. Every story I hear, and every person I connect with is a reminder of why I started Quietivity in the first place. If Quietivity helps you find peace in your day or enables you to create your own ritual, I would love to hear from you. Every story you share reminds me that we’re on this journey together, and it inspires me to keep creating tools that support us all in finding that much-needed sense of calm.

 

 

 

At Quietivity, we believe in the power of simplicity: to light a candle, sit, and breathe. Our silent timer candles offer a unique way to experience time—without the interruption of alarms, screens, or noise. In a world that often feels too fast and too busy, Quietivity reminds you that it’s okay to slow down, create your own self-care routine, and reconnect with what truly matters.

 

 

 

Thank you for being here. I created Quietivity to help others find the inner peace and clarity that transformed my life. Let Quietivity remind you that self-care isn’t a luxury but a necessity. Give yourself the gift of time. Light a candle, and start your journey.

 

 

 

Wishing you peace and joy,
Martin
