Hi, I’m Ashley — mom to Brooke and Payton, and the heart behind Brooke’s Little Light co.

As a mother raising two children on the autism spectrum, my days are filled with therapy appointments, IEP meetings, evaluations, emails, paperwork, and constant communication and follow-up. That work often extends into my evenings — reviewing notes, coordinating between providers and schools, advocating, and making decisions that carry both hope and exhaustion.

Lighting a candle allows me to pause and breathe, offering calm and grounding when my mind feels full and my heart feels heavy. Named after my amazing daughter, Brooke, Brooke’s Little Light is inspired by the old hymn “This Little Light of Mine” and the belief that even the smallest light can shine — in its own way and in its own time.

Each candle’s tagline and scent description was created with intention — to bring awareness, offer encouragement, and share understanding with parents navigating the unknown.

Brooke’s Little Light co. is more than a candle brand — it’s a reflection of awareness, resilience, advocacy, and the belief that no parent should feel alone on this journey.

Thank you for being here.

Ashley, Brooke & Payton
