Our Story

STEM was founded in Te Whanganui-a-Tara in 2019 by visionary Hana Jensen, driven by a passion for sustainability and a love for handcrafted products. In 2024, Cheena and Alysa joined forces to carry forward Hana's vision, bringing their own unique perspectives and energy to the journey. Together, they continue to offer products that are slowly crafted with intention and care. Our mission is to support conscious living through high-quality, eco-friendly creations that invite you to take a breath and press pause on your day.

Meet Alysa

With over 12 years of experience as a yoga and meditation teacher, Alysa is passionate about offering dreamy, feel-good practices and sharing her favorite rituals for cultivating calm and connection. Originally from Australia, Alysa now calls Ōtautahi home, where she explores the art of slow living and embraces adventures that push her comfort zone.

Meet Cheena

Cheena is a lover of gentle movement, improvised music, and savoring all the in-between moments in life. She fills her cup by riding her bike along the beach, exploring knitting and textiles, and connecting in community. Cheena considers herself a forever student, perpetually curious about the wisdom and wonders of the body-mind. She offers yoga classes and sound baths in Ōtautahi.
