about

reclaiming timeless radiance

AAOKA® PHILOSOPHY

 

AAOKA® was born from a deep desire to raise beauty consciousness, to a place where the natural aspiration for beauty simultaneously aligns with nourishment and care, towards one’s body and the Earth. AAOKA® philosophies are based on ancient Ayurvedic principles that acknowledge an individuals unique constitution, and the innate connection between one’s body and the natural world. It is my deepest desire to provide offerings that will empower mothers to remember their innate radiance, so they may take beauty back into their own hands and find peace within their skin care rituals.

 

FOUNDER STORY

about SOPHIE DUNCAN

My passion for natural beauty began in my early 20s when I stumbled upon an old Ayurvedic book - and couldn't put it down. As I read through its ancient wisdom, I felt an unmistakable sense of coming home.

For years, I dipped in and out of Ayurveda... until everything changed after becoming a mother.

Twelve months postpartum, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognise myself. Horizontal lines etched across my forehead, my face appeared sunken and lifeless. I started to wonder - was this just part of ageing and motherhood? Was ageing radiantly even possible?

I was preparing to study Holistic Facial Therapy, yet felt overwhelmed by my rapidly changing reflection.

Then one day, I made a decision: instead of resenting my skin, I would start listening to it. I chose to use these signs of premature ageing as a catalyst to rediscover my innate radiance, naturally.

This experience led me home to Ayurveda. It helped me reclaim my glow - and continues to support me physically and mentally amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

For the first time in my adult life, I feel connected to my true nature - more naturally peaceful, hydrated and radiant.

I now share this wisdom with mothers who are ready to reclaim their radiance and release the pressures of modern day beauty standards - because I deeply believe that every woman deserves to feel vibrant and beautiful, through all stages of life.

SELF EXPANSION & CONNECTION TO SELF

SO WITHIN, SO WITHOUT

The elements that exist within all of nature also exist within us. Ayurveda offers a beautiful template for living that connects us back to the external and internal rhythms of nature. This way of living cultivates a greater connection to our true self, and therefore our true beauty. This depth of beauty is not dependant on our proportions or features, and may be expressed though all stages of life.
