Our Story

Welcome to Relax DMV – iwanttorelax.com
Where wellness meets intention, and every flame tells a story and creates a mood.

At Relax DMV, we believe that relaxation is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Born from a vision to bring peace, healing, and creativity to the everyday lives of individuals and communities, our brand is more than just candles. We are a sanctuary of scent, sound, and self-care—handcrafting aromatic experiences that help you unwind, recenter, and reconnect with yourself.

Our Mission

To empower individuals and organizations to reclaim their calm through high-quality, clean-burning wooden wick candles, therapeutic body care products, and transformative candle-making experiences.

We exist to:

• Support personal wellness through thoughtfully curated scents and ingredients.
• Build community through creative workshops and veteran-focused initiatives.
• Inspire a lifestyle of intentional rest and holistic healing.

Who We Serve

Our reach is as diverse as our scents. From busy professionals and self-care seekers to corporations looking to enhance employee wellness, and veterans rediscovering purpose through creative expression—we serve anyone seeking to relax and restore.

Whether you're lighting a candle after a long day or participating in one of our hands-on wellness workshops, Relax DMV is your partner in creating space for peace.
