ABOUT THE INNER HEARTH

Hi, I’m Holly

I run The Inner Hearth from my home workspace in Oxfordshire, alongside being a mum to three very energetic boys.

I’m a maker, Tarot reader, astrologer, hearth witch and nature lover. Tarot and astrology have been part of my life for many years, while nature and the changing seasons often influence the things I create and write about.

Life outside the business is usually busy, noisy and rarely perfectly organised. When I’m not working, I’m normally gaming, chilling at home or looking at interesting rocks and fossils with the boys.

Autumn will always be my favourite season, especially when the evenings begin drawing in and home starts to feel a little cosier again.

Why I Created The Inner Hearth

Everything I offer has grown from things that have genuinely mattered in my own life.

I know how much difference small things can make when life feels full or overwhelming. Sometimes that is enjoying a favourite fragrance, making an ordinary shower feel more enjoyable or creating a home that feels more comfortable. At other times, it is having the space to reflect and see something differently.

I wanted to create a business built around those small but meaningful moments, without turning self-care or reflection into another expectation.

How It Became The Inner Hearth

How the Business Began

The business began in December 2024 as The Witch’s Hearth. I started with handmade wax melts, before branching out into soap making and developing a wider collection of bath, body and home fragrance products.

In August 2025, I began professionally offering written Tarot and Birth Chart readings. These were already important parts of my life, so bringing them into the business felt like a natural next step.

As the business grew, the original name no longer represented it as a whole. The word “witch” could also come with assumptions of something overtly spiritual or belief-led, which did not reflect my grounded approach.

In January 2026, The Witch’s Hearth became The Inner Hearth.

The Meaning Behind the Name

The hearth was once the practical centre of the home, providing warmth and keeping everything else going. That felt like an honest reflection of how many of us live now: caring for other people, holding things together and often leaving little space for ourselves.

The Inner Hearth turns that focus inward. It is less about an identity or label and more about recognising that the person at the centre of everything needs care too.

How It’s Made

The Inner Hearth is a one-person business. I make the products, complete the readings, pack the orders, write the Journal and reply when you get in touch.

  • Rooted in Personal Experience

    The handmade products, readings and self-care offered here are not unrelated trends brought together for a business. They are all things I have personally found useful, comforting or meaningful in my own life.

  • A Different Way to Have a Reading

    I’m one of the few UK Tarot readers specialising in detailed written readings, delivered as a PDF by email.

    There are no appointments or live calls, so you can read, absorb and return to your reading in your own time.

  • Clear and Carefully Made

    My products are made in small batches, with cosmetic products supported by Cosmetic Product Safety Reports and prepared in line with UK regulations.

    My readings are individually written, approachable and do not assume that you follow a particular spiritual path.
