About EMBER

Meet the founder

EMBER was founded by Emma Hilton, a Reiki Master and Sound Healer with a deep love for mindfulness, energy work, beautiful spaces, and meaningful ritual.

My own journey into Reiki and sound healing inspired me to create EMBER. A space where modern design meets soulful living. I wanted to bring together the things I naturally love: beautiful homeware, crystals, incense and ritual pieces that can become part of your own mindful moments and everyday routines.

Every product is thoughtfully selected for its beauty, character and the feeling it brings to a space. For me, EMBER is about creating a little more intention in everyday life — whether that's lighting incense at the end of a busy day, creating a peaceful corner at home, or simply taking a moment to pause.

EMBER is an independent UK sole trader business, and every order is personally valued. Thank you for supporting my small business and being part of the EMBER journey.

Where it all began

The story behind EMBER

EMBER began three years ago on Etsy, with a small collection of crystals, incense and meaningful pieces inspired by my own love of mindfulness, ritual and creating a beautiful home.

One of the products that really helped shape EMBER was our Home Cleansing Kit, which went on to become a bestseller on Etsy. Seeing customers connect with something I had created was a huge milestone for the business and gave me the confidence to take the next step.

After three years of growing on Etsy, I took the leap and launched the EMBER website — creating a space where the brand could truly grow and evolve.

Since then, EMBER has continued to grow both online and locally. I'm proud to now work with independent small businesses across Lancashire, supplying selected EMBER products to shops and spaces within the local community.

From those first Etsy orders to today's growing collection, EMBER remains an independent small business built with care, intention and a genuine love for what I do.

And this is only the beginning.
