Our Story

Hand-poured in Fort Myers, Florida

True Faith Naturals began in a quiet house in Fort Myers, Florida — with a mother, two young daughters, and a candle that was about to be blown out for good.

For years, Miria Kramer's evenings looked the same. Her husband Jason traveled Monday through Friday for work, and she spent her days raising the girls largely on her own. She loved her family deeply, but she needed something of her own. Something creative. Something just for her. Something to turn the stress and quiet anxiety of those long weeks into purpose and beauty.

Around that same season, she had grown increasingly aware of what was inside the everyday products that filled her home. For nearly five years — ever since her youngest daughter Hadassah was born — she had been making her own laundry soap, lotions, body creams, and face wash, because the ingredient labels on the store-bought versions had stopped sitting right with her. Candles were one of the last things in the house she hadn't questioned. When she finally did, she realized they had no place in a home built on clean living.

So she started making her own. One pour at a time. In a corner of her home, in small batches, with worship music playing in the background and a prayer for the family who would one day light each one.

What started as a creative outlet in the summer of 2025 quickly became a hobby — and then, by the fall, something larger than either of us had planned. Jason and Miria prayed about it together. Jason left his corporate career to build True Faith Naturals alongside his wife, and on December 16, 2025, the company officially launched. We have not looked back since.

From Rio to Fort Myers

Miria was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Life there wasn't easy — both her parents worked hard for everything they had — but she watched them build a life on faith and hard work, and learned early that those two things, together, can do almost anything. Her father was a pastor. From him she learned that whatever you do, you do it as worship — and you do it with excellence, because the work is for the Lord.

In the summer of 1995, just after she turned twelve, the family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. The country changed. The Brazilian roots stayed.

Brazilians, she'll tell you, are loving and warm — quick to invite people over, slow to let them leave. They cook. They celebrate. They keep family and connection at the center of everything. True Faith Naturals carries all of that into every candle we make.

The Heart Behind the Name

The name came easily. Miria wanted three things to be obvious from the very first pour:

  • True — a business that is honest, transparent, and made the way we say it is made.
  • Faith — rooted in a God who is faithful and built for His glory.
  • Natural — every ingredient chosen with care, free of the things that don't belong in your home.

Three words. One promise. True Faith Naturals.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." — Colossians 3:23

Inside the Studio

Every candle in our line is hand-poured inside the Kramer family's private studio in Fort Myers — a thoughtfully built, climate-controlled space with insulated walls, fresh floors, and brand-new equipment, kept spotless because that's how it should be. The cabinet at the back is marked, simply: God Will Supply Every Need.

Miria selects everything herself: the jars, the wicks, the wax, the fragrance. The soy is American-grown and 100% pure with no additives. The beeswax comes from a small bee farm we are proud to support. The fragrance oils are phthalate-free, paraben-free, SLS- and SLES-free, 100% vegan, and never animal-tested.

Each candle is poured, cured, wicked, labeled, inspected, and packaged by hand — by Miria, by Jason, and yes, by Abby and Hadassah too. There are no shortcuts here. There never will be.

Faith in Action

True Faith Naturals is more than candles. A portion of what we do is dedicated to two causes very close to our family's heart:

  • Mission of Hope — providing meals, care, and support for children and families facing hunger in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
  • Semper Fi & America's Fund — serving wounded veterans and military families with life-changing assistance, recovery support, and hope.

When you light a True Faith Naturals candle, a little bit of that light reaches a child being fed and a veteran being cared for. That's not a marketing line. That's the point.

Meet the Family

The hands behind every pour

  • Miria Kramer

    Founder & Creative Heart

    Born in Rio de Janeiro, Miria leads candle pouring, testing, product development, photography, labels, and the entire creative direction of the brand. A former accountant who's been home raising her girls since the height of COVID, she is caring, family-centric, and creative — and she pours her heart into every detail. "I always ask God," she says, "that my candles be a blessing to our customers." Her favorite scent in her own line: Golden Sandalwood — warm, grounded, and the one she reaches for at the end of a long day.

  • Jason Kramer

    Operations & Strategic Vision • The MacGyver of Operation 101

    Jason leads operations, strategy, logistics, scaling, finance, and shipping. After nearly two decades in corporate leadership, he walked away from that career to build True Faith Naturals alongside Miria — a decision the family prayed over and trusted God with completely. Three steps ahead at all times, driven, smart, and always looking toward what's next, he and Miria sit and talk about the business together: he is the operations side, she is the creative side, and together they make the whole thing work. Miria calls him her right hand. "I could not do this without him," she says. "Of course, all of this is possible through Christ who gives us strength." His scent of choice: Frankincense and Myrrh — the same fragrances offered to a King.

  • Abby (Abigail)

    Creative & Digital • Age 13

    Loving, sweet, helpful, and funny — Abby helps with social media, creative ideas, digital content, organization, and the kind of behind-the-scenes work that nobody sees but everybody benefits from. A visionary in the making, and our resident next-generation creative. She and Hadassah both love Seagrass and Sage from our Easter Collection — fresh, green, and unmistakably their favorite season of the year.

  • Hadassah

    Quality Assurance & Chief Accountability Coach • Age 5

    Creative, fun, direct, and proactive, Hadassah is in charge of organizing supplies, cleaning jars, applying labels, packaging products — and, most importantly, smelling every new candle before it is released. If a scent doesn't pass Hadassah, it doesn't go in a jar. We are very serious about this.
