Hi, I'm Kim. Welcome to Bluvana

After nearly 30 years in social work, I took a candle class simply to reconnect with creativity. One candle turned into learning about creating vessels, blending scents, and discovering a new way to bring wellness, emotion, and mindfulness into everyday life.

Bluvana is where creativity meets mental health and being human. These aren’t just candles, they’re designed to evoke feeling, memory, and connection, helping you return to parts of yourself that matter.

About Us

Rooted in the Great Lakes and inspired by our favorite Blue
Zone in Costa Rica, Bluvana lives at the intersection of grounding and
vitality.

The stillness of freshwater, forests, and shorelines, meets
the warmth, color, and vibrancy of the tropics, shaping everything we create
and how we live.

Bluvana is a reflection of us and the life we’re
intentionally creating.

We believe wellness isn’t something you achieve; it’s
something you practice, often imperfectly, in the middle of real life that is
sometimes messy. It lives in movement, laughter, travel, stillness, creativity,
and the small rituals that help us feel more present and alive.

Together, we’re drawn to experiences that support mental
well-being, connection, and joy, whether that’s yoga, energy work, time in
nature, meaningful conversations, or simply being playful and curious. Bluvana
grew from our shared belief that feeling good doesn’t have to be complicated or
performative, it can be grounded, vibrant, and deeply human.

At its heart, Bluvana is an invitation to reflect, breathe,
and create space for the things that matter most in your life.

We’re so glad you’re here. Thank you for being a part of our
Bluvana community.

Kim + Shawn
