A big hello to our new followers if you are new around here, thought I would introduce myself. My name is Emily, I am the founder of Yougi and run the business with our our incredible small team 👋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few facts ..⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I set up Yougi in 2019 to help support people’s emotional well-being and mental health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I worked in buying and product development for leading retailers for 10 years which was a great learning experience on how I didn’t want to run Yougi. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I lived in China for one year and Berlin for three years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love nothing more than traveling and learning. Visiting new places, new inspirations and new experiences. All the Yougi scent inspirations are from different parts of the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have studied aromatherapy and Ayurveda but most of my knowledge is self taught. Aromatherapy and fragrance creation is a passion I love sharing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a trained yoga teacher but I don’t currently teach.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m Irish and grew up in Limerick. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently moved from London to Leigh-On-Sea where I live by the sea and feel very grateful to be able to make all our products in our little ( but ever expanding) studio.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are a small but mighty team of 4 people. ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We just launched our products in Selfridges and I am so incredibly grateful to be where we are! Thank you for all your support. 🙏✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
