ABOUT

At STEM, our intention is to encourage you to press pause. Through our sustainably and ethically made products, you can nourish both yourself and the earth. We give new life to landfill-destined fabrics, creating eye pillows that soothe tired eyes and calm restless minds.

Hand-sewn with love and intention in Ōtautahi, Christchurch, by co-owners Alysa and Cheena, each eye pillow is crafted with care. Give yourself permission to rest and enjoy the sweetness of doing nothing.

About Cheena  ~  S T E M  Co-Owner

Cheena is a lover of gentle movement, improvised music, and savoring slow moments in life.  She is of Japanese/Pākehā descent and this cross-section of cultures continues to inform her creative pursuits. Based in Ōtautahi, Cheena offers Yin yoga and sound baths, believing that these mindful practices are an antidote to the fast pace of modern living. 


About Alysa  ~  S T E M  Co-Owner

With over 12 years experience as a yoga and meditation teacher, Alysa thrives on offering dreamy, feel-good practices and sharing her favorite rituals for finding calm and connection. Born in Australia, Alysa now calls Ōtautahi home, exploring the art of slow living and adventures that push her comfort zone.


We'd also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Hana Jensen, the visionary founder of STEM. Hana crafted this beautiful product and business with the intention of offering sustainably made eye pillows, which have quickly become New Zealand's most beloved.
