Mindful Creators Series: Meet Charissa, Founder of LUMI Apothecary

At KarmaCounty, we’re all about lifting up the mindful makers in our community — creators who lead with intention, work with the rhythms of nature, and inspire others to do the same. This month, we’re spotlighting Charissa, the founder and maker behind LUMI Apothecary.

Nature-Based Rituals for Everyday Care

LUMI Apothecary is a small-batch, earth-based wellness brand rooted in ritual and connection. Charissa handcrafts botanical remedies, self-care blends, and seasonal offerings designed to support the body, mind, and spirit naturally. Every product is thoughtfully created using wildcrafted and locally sourced botanicals — celebrating the healing power of plants and the cycles of the land.

From grounding oils to herbal salves and soothing balms, LUMI’s creations invite you to slow down, tend to yourself, and reconnect with the earth.

What’s New at LUMI?

Throughout the spring, Charissa was deep in her wildcrafting process — foraging and gathering fresh botanicals for her summer batches. It’s one of the most grounding and inspiring parts of her work, and a practice that ensures every product captures the essence of the season.

Alongside this, Charissa’s been quietly working on new labels behind the scenes, giving a fresh face to some of your favorite LUMI staples. We love seeing creators evolve their craft while staying rooted in their original mission.

“For me, mindfulness is about staying present in every part of the process —

whether I’m out in the forest gathering plants, blending a batch of oil, or packaging an order. It’s about slowing down and honoring the little moments of connection we can have with ourselves and the natural world.”

Why We Love It

We’re drawn to LUMI not just for the beautiful, earth-honoring products, but for the way Charissa weaves intention and mindfulness into every step of her process. It’s about more than what you put on your skin — it’s about the ritual, the pause, the act of tending to yourself in meaningful ways.

If you haven’t experienced LUMI yet, now’s the perfect time.

And because we had to ask… what’s her favorite crystal right now?

Charissa’s pick: Labradorite. She loves its grounding energy and the way it reminds her to stay connected to intuition and natural cycles — a perfect companion for long days spent wildcrafting in the woods.
