About Us

Based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, 'Handmade By Emily Jayne' is an award-winning business founded and owned by Emily.

Who ?

Born out of a chill yoga retreat in 2020, 'Handmade By Emily Jayne' is a one-woman-run independent business that evolved from a passion for aromatherapy and well-being. Since way back in 2014, Emily's been practising the art of Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Flows. And guess what? More recently she's also crushing it with 'Hot Pod Yoga' sessions!

When not engrossed in her professional pursuits as an aerospace systems engineer, Emily finds solace in savouring a delightful cup of coffee or getting engrossed in the pages of an enthralling book during her spare time.

Why ?

Emily's focus during the Shavasana (Mrtasana / Corpse Pose) element of yoga practice was disrupted by the sunlight directly shining into her eyes, prompting her to invent a yoga prop capable of blocking out the light.

After conducting thorough research on the benefits associated with applying pressure to the Vagus Nerve, Emily embarked on her design journey.

What ?

Out ultimate aim is to craft a product that is:

  • High quality and long-lasting
  • Re-usable
  • Plastic-free
  • Environmentally friendly

We are constantly making small swaps to achieve these goals!

Sustainability and the environment are at the heart of this small business. Each order means the world to us, and it should not cost the world either.

Company Values

With a design in mind and a sewing machine at the ready, something new and extraordinary was created. Following a relatively speedy timeframe, and a few sewing machine malfunctions and misplaced needles later on, the design was finalised - an organic flaxseed acupressure eye pillow, perfectly sized and weighted for enhancing your self-care routine during therapy treatments, reflexology, yoga classes, and retreats.
