Tomoka Y. Nguyen

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tomoka Y. Nguyen is founder of the chemical-free, personal care product line, Jojo – A Blend of Boutique Products. She is a certified Aromatherapist, CIBTAC certified Spa Professional and Wellness Coach.

Native to Japan, Tomoka spent much of her childhood at her grandparents’ traditional Japanese abode; one that was set within a countryside where moxsa burning, the regular presence of visiting Shiatsu masseurs and the entire family enjoying the local hot spring were all part of daily wellness rituals. It was here where Tomoka often witnessed her grandmother “cooking” beauty products in her kitchen; an activity that stands out as a precursor to Tomoka’s belief and enjoyment in all things beautiful and organically-created from the comfort of one’s home.

Tomoka’s first move within the Spa and Wellness industry came as a manager of the very first successful Spa of its kind in Bali, Indonesia, taking place in1997. She has since been recruited to open and manage some of the most luxurious and award-winning Spas in the region. Her extensive experiences and professional training on global healing remedies from Ayurvedic, Aromatherapy, Herbalism and other alternative therapies have led Tomoka to craft and possess a unique blend of diversity in knowledge and expert preparation, not to mention that she is certified in General Thai Massage, Reiki, Spa Cuisine and Professional Perfumery.

In the end, her approach to beauty is sustainable and holistic, spurring her commitment to change the way we see and approach beauty; shifting away from the view that beauty is a result of the large and profitable industry’s influence towards a simple, affordable yet powerful and effective way to a long-term health, inner contentment and wholesome serenity.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

What really goes into the personal care products you use on a daily basis?

“Natural”… “Organic”… What used to be buzz words signifying a product’s wholesome composition are now known as mostly marketing claims; overused and inflated. You have no choice but to be confused. Not to mention that each day brings a new “report” on the negative effects chemicals have on our health and well-being. Is anything safe to use anymore?
