AGO TOKES

About Me

I’m Ago, founder of Beauty In Essence. I specialise in nourishing acupuncture & holistic facial rejuvenation and offer a quiet, reflective space where people can realign and feel deeply nourished.

Experience & Approach

I have always been fascinated by oriental cultures and their insightful approach to healing, which led me to qualify as a Naturopath and Acupuncturist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, London in 2012. Following my graduation, I studied widely with different teachers in the field of Chinese Medicine, including Mary Elizabeth Wakefield, who is the ground-breaking pioneer of constitutional facial acupuncture and facial soundscapes tuning fork therapy. In my Gua Sha training, the most significant milestone was learning from Cecily Braden, a world-renown Gua Sha trainer, founder of the Gua Sha Facial Fusion method.

I am a life long meditator, and seeker of truth beyond appearance. This search began decades ago, when I started attending Buddhist meditation classes. Ever since meditation is the most essential part of my life.

EASTERN INSPIRATION

“Ago creates space for you in a personal way where you feel completely supported and relaxed. Beyond the facial treatment and acupuncture, she also has a rare ability to tune in intuitively and has offered insightful guidance that has been very healing for me. I always leave feel deeply restored, reset and inspired.”
