THE MAKER
I'm Amy PaChia Yang (she/ her) and I started PaChia Blooms in 2018. I'm a wife to my husband of 4 years and a mom to two fur babies (a cat & a dog). I'm a Husky from St. Cloud State and work a full time job as a health educator at one of Minnesota's largest non-profit clinics. I named my business PaChia Blooms because my middle name is PaChia which in Hmong means blooming flower.
THE WHY
During college, I burned candles often to focus and relax but noticed I would often get headaches instead. I discovered there were different types of candle waxes and fragrance oils that could be harmful when breathing in the burned chemicals. I then started purchasing soy candles and things got better but the scent didn't spread enough throughout my spaces. I stated making my own candles and after a year of testing I finally launched PaChia Blooms. I stand proud with my 100% soy candles made with clean scents which are safe for humans and pets.
