About Alauna

Hello and welcome! I'm Alauna Whelan. If you are wondering, my name is pronounced Ah-lawn-ah. I'm a self-taught metal smith, botanical perfumer, crystal hoarder, lunar lover, coffee drinker, and writer. 

I love creating luxury products that merge the mystical with the modern to elevate people's lives through rituals of care, intention, and awareness.

Much of my work is inspired by mother nature, astrology, mysticism, and folklore. I reside on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Metis on the Canadian prairies in Saskatchewan with my wonderful husband, two active boys, faithful pup Rusty, and feline prince, Jonathan.

I know that cultivating personal rituals can be as simple as lighting a candle and inhaling its aromatic scent, pulling a card, or adorning one's self with a piece of meaningful jewelry.

Using intentional items can deepen wellness rituals and practices. This can pave the way to nurturing and trusting the connection within.

I've always loved practicing alchemy. From my early days in a chemistry laboratory, to crafting salves, lotions, and soap for my babies, to formulating herbal products for postpartum families. I currently work with a variety of mediums, including molten metal, crystals, and plant botanicals.

After the birth of my first son and obstetrical violence in 2009, I turned to alternative modalities and unearthed my creativity as a means to support my healing journey. I discovered supportive practices such as meditation, somatic therapy, mindfulness, the use of plant aromatics, crystals, reiki, cranialsacral therapy, art, and astrology.

I began developing simple rituals that honored my own rhythmic essence. This helped me understand how deeply connected we are with one another, the earth, and mother nature. Her seasons and cycles had predictability and wisdom woven within them. I was able to exhale and dig into the difficult work of finding my way back home to myself; to honor and embrace my experiences through my humaneness.
 
This foundation, paired with my former work experience as a laboratory technologist, allows me to create high-quality items with awareness and intention.
