Our Story

Take on the adventure of Ometepe, a stunning island formed by two volcanoes emerging from Lake Nicaragua. Its name is derived from the Nahuatl words ome (two) and tepetl (mountain), representing the powerful duality of nature.

Inspired by our indigenous roots and the teachings of our grandparents, my husband and I have chosen to name our entrepreneurship after this magnificent island. As a Queer Black Latinx couple, we have fallen in love with San Francisco and want to create a wellness community accessible to everyone.

 Nuestras Raíces

Introducing the Nuestras Raíces Collection, a tribute to Latinx Heritage Month and Día de los Muertos. This unique candle line brings to life the rich scents and soulful traditions that shape our culture. Each candle is crafted to honor our heritage, from sacred rituals to cherished family gatherings, capturing our community's warmth, vibrance, and resilience. Light up Alebrije to invite protection and positivity, let La Catrina bloom with memories, savor the familiar sweetness of Pan de Muerto, and celebrate the joy of connection with Churro Fest. This collection isn’t just about fragrance—it's a way to reconnect, remember, and rejoice in the stories that make us who we are.
