About 12 Branches

In 2025, Kristen answered a divine calling from The Most High and established 12 Branches. 

12 Branches exists for the awakening, gathering, and restoration of Yashar’al. It is a place where the scattered are called home, where dry bones hear breath again, and where hearts are turned back to covenant with The Most High. This work stands on ancient truth, echoing the promise that what was lost will be found, and what was broken will be restored.

Through remembrance, obedience, and love, the branches are being gathered, rooted, and prepared. 

12 Branches was created by Kristen during a season of rebuilding. 

There was a time when life felt overwhelming, uncertain, and far from peaceful. In the middle of navigating challenges, searching for direction, and learning how to move forward one day at a time, I found comfort in creating. What started as pouring candles and blending fragrances became something much deeper - a way to create the Shalum I was looking for.

As I lit each candle, I realized that fragrance has a unique ability to change the atmosphere of a room and, sometimes, even the atmosphere within us. A simple scent can slow a racing mind, bring comfort after a difficult day, or remind us that hope still exists even in life’s hardest seasons.

That realization became the foundation of 12 Branches.

The name 12 Branches represents growth, strength, and purpose. Just as branches grow from a tree and continue reaching toward the light. Our brand is rooted in the belief that Shalum (peace) is not something we simply find - it’s something we intentionally create.

Today, every candle, body oil, and signature mist is handcrafted with that mission in mind. We carefully create products that help transform ordinary moments into meaningful ones - whether it’s lighting a candle after a long day, applying a nourishing body oil as part of your self-care routine, or refreshing your home with a fragrance that makes you feel at ease.

At 12 Branches, we’re not just creating products. We’re creating experiences that encourage rest, reflection, and intentional living.

Thank you for supporting a business built on faith, resilience, and the belief that even in difficult seasons, beautiful things can grow.

Welcome to 12 Branches - where Shalum (peace) is cultivated, purpose is embraced, and every fragrance tells a story.
