Australian entrepreneur Yuka Tsunashima
The founder of a crystal-infused water bottle earns up to $45,000 a month selling the products to Aussies who want to ‘infuse their H2O with intentions’, after leaving a marketing job that gave her the same amount of money per annum.
Australian entrepreneur Yuka Tsunashima launched Aura Bottle in November 2018 after walking away from four failed business ventures and becoming increasingly dissatisfied with her role as a marketing manager.
She had only just been made aware of ‘crystal elixir’ at the time – a concept of drinking water out of bottles that have crystals embedded in them – and decided it was an idea worth pursuing further.
‘For centuries crystal infused water (‘crystal elixir’) has been used as a powerful healing ritual,’ the website read.
‘Their main purpose is to cleanse you and energise you with the crystal healing benefits from within. When a crystal is placed with or near water, the water will energetically absorb the crystal’s vibrational frequency.’
She invested just $5,000 to start with, shipping water bottles from her living room at night while juggling her nine to five role during the day, 7News reported.

Within 10 months Yuka had turned over $100,000 selling the bottles, which range in price from $88 to $99, and she decided to make it her sole focus moving forward
‘So I would come home from work, eat dinner and work another seven hours on the business every night and on weekends,’ she said.
Within 10 months Yuka had turned over $100,000 selling the bottles, which range in price from $88 to $99, and she decided to make it her sole focus moving forward.
‘The bottle is a tool for you to practice self-care and mindfulness,’ she said.
‘According to our customers, the beautiful bottle encourages them to drink water more often, and just having them around uplifts their mood.’
Rave reviews are dotted online with shoppers claiming it makes the perfect gift and is ‘perfect for a moment of meditation’
Yuka’s next focus is to collaborate with other brands – like Seed and Mimco – to continue sharing the Aura bottle message as brand awareness grows

‘Ever since receiving my beautiful crystal infused bottle. My daily intentions never felt more aligned,’ one woman said.
‘I also love to fill the bottle and leave the bottle out under the full moon to help manifest my intentions.’
Another said: ‘I’m very happy with it, it’s beautiful I’ll carry it around wherever I go. Thank you’.
