Our Story

NAMI is a word derived from Swahili meaning ‘with me’.

It was founded at the peak of the pandemic. Our founder was concerned with the  rise of mental health concerns; and with a passion for health and wellness combined with the authentic aroma from a flickering ambient light - scented soy candles, Nami was born.

By capturing the essence of aromatherapy, the art and science of using aromatic plant essential oils for therapeutic purposes, NAMI promotes wellness and health through therapeutic scented soy candles. These essential oils are extracted from plants, hence 100% natural content.

We encourage people to slow down, relax and feel comfortable in their unique environments. This lifestyle inspires our current and future products. We hope our products remind you of how vital self-care is. 

Our candles are hand-poured and handmade in Kenya with all-natural soy wax and essential oils.
