My Journey into Holistic Wellness

My journey into holistic healing began in 1998 when I earned my international qualifications in beauty and body therapy. My early career took me to a prestigious London spa, where I trained with some of the world’s top skincare brands and worked with clients from all walks of life - including a few well-known faces. It was an incredible experience, but deep down, I knew I wanted to create something more personal.

In 2008, I moved to Brighton to build a space that felt different - a sanctuary where my clients could truly relax, feel cared for, and experience treatments tailored to their individual needs. I blend expertise with intuition, drawing from my Japanese heritage, Eastern philosophy, and my own experiences with yoga and meditation to create deeply restorative treatments.

I hold a CIDESCO International Body and Beauty Therapy Diploma, CIBTAC Body and Beauty Therapy Diploma, IEB Reflexology Diploma, Ray Cochrane Aromatherapy Certificate, and Vajrasati Yoga Teacher Training (500-hour Yoga Alliance certification).  I am also a member of BABTAC, ensuring that all my work is fully insured and held to the highest professional standards.

 

A Personal & Intuitive Approach to Healing

Like many of my clients, I’ve faced my own health challenges. Over the years, massage, acupuncture, reflexology, and herbal medicine have played a huge role in my healing journey.

For more than 14 years, I have been under the care of Dr. Wu Di at Herbal Kingdom in Hove, who has helped me recover from birth trauma and navigate the transition through menopause. These experiences have deeply shaped my understanding of holistic well-being and my approach to healing others.

Through my own journey, I’ve learned how powerful the mind-body connection truly is. These therapies haven’t just supported my physical health - they’ve also nurtured my emotional well-being. Because of this, I approach every treatment with empathy, intuition, and a genuine desire to help my clients feel their best.

I understand that everyone’s skin and hair are different. That’s why I tailor my waxing services to suit all skin tones, hair types, and sensitivities. Whether you have fine, coarse, curly, or dense hair, I’ll ensure you get the best possible results with minimal discomfort.

Join Me In My Space for Connection & Well-Being

What I love most about my work is the connection it brings. Every treatment is an opportunity to meet incredible people, listen to their stories, and create a space of healing, laughter, and care. This isn’t just my profession - it’s my passion. I’m truly grateful for the trust my clients place in me.

Healing isn’t just about a single treatment, it’s a journey. By combining bodywork, energy healing, and mindfulness, I offer personalised experiences that nurture both physical and emotional well-being. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel heard, valued, and truly cared for.

If you’re ready to unwind, recharge, or simply take a moment for yourself, I’d be honored to support you. I also love engaging with my clients, answering any questions or concerns they may have about my treatments, and making sure everyone who enters my practice feels comfortable and safe.

Please call, text, or WhatsApp me on 07961 774180.

What My Clients Say...  

Scout
I cannot recommend Yuko highly enough and in fact have done so many times. She is always so warm and welcoming and makes me feel right at home so I can relax. The place is very clean and she is going the extra way to make it pretty and welcoming. I always leave happy.
Shreya Murali
The best place to get a wax in Brighton. Yuko is quick, clean, no nonsense, and charges fairly. I really liked that she didn’t try to force conversation. She really made me feel at ease and they were incredibly painless.
Louise
I have to say that, after working for many years with many therapists, Yuko is the best I have found. Her professionalism and efficiency are 5 star. Her manner and how she dealt with my treatment instantly put me at ease, and I found her friendly and willing to listen to me, and achieve the results I was hoping for. I would recommend to anyone that they visit Yuko for their beauty treatment. I will certainly be going back!
Rachel Wheeler
Best wax experience ever. I had to change my appointment 3 times and each time she was super easy to work with. So friendly and warm made the whole process super comfortable. I have had some horrible waxing experiences, and some good ones but this was by far the best. She even managed to clean my eyebrows up without having to make another appointment. I will only be going to yuko from now on and I highly highly recommend to ANYONE!
Laura Bevans
I was very lucky to have found Yuko well over 3 years ago now, and haven't looked back. On the odd occasion (for various reasons) that I've had to visit other therapists/salons, I found the experience to be so impersonal, unfriendlywith stone faced therapists, that I'd never want to go anywhere else again. When visiting Yuko you don't just get the service you booked, but a super warm, considerate and genuine person with lots of friendly conversation. I've introduced and recommended all of my friends to Yuko; one friend in particular that was previously hesitant of waxing is now an avid fan thanks to the experience and expertise experienced she received. Couldn't recommend her enough.
Miriam Boote
I have been treated by Yuko for years now and can honestly say its the best waxing experience I have had anywhere. So good, that I have recommended her to many of my friends who are now also regular customers. I always feel amazing when I leave her and I regularly have a brow tint and shape.... and compliments have ranged from 'you look younger' to 'have you have a facelift'! Yuko has made me look and feel fab on my wedding day, on holidays and even in the labour ward - she is awesome. Can not recommend her enough.
Ella Provan
I have lived in Brighton for over two years now and have been going to Yuko for waxing from the beginning. Before living here I had been to numerous different salons and private therapists (having had some bad experiences along the way) and can genuinely say that I am always happy with the treatments from Yuko and that she is the best therapist I have experienced. She has a kind, warm, helpful and extremely friendly manner and I always feel completely comfortable in her presence. Her professional skill is exceptional and I could tell from my first wax with her that she knew exactly what she was doing - and I have been coming back regularly ever since! I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone.
Mary Lynn
As someone who has not had a wax before, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! Yuko was really lovely and put me at ease right away. The treatment itself was also very tolerable, however i do feel Yuko's amazing personality and extensive experience helped this. I hope to be back again in the future!
Monique Mitchell
Yuko is so lovely! Most comfortable I have felt getting a Hollywood, she’s also very quick and makes it as painless as possible. 1000% recommend to anyone
Sarina
I've been visiting Yuko for a number of years and would not consider going anywhere else now. She is excellent as she is very sensitive and instinctive in her work. Her cheerful personality also puts you at ease and every treatment is a pleasure.
Tasha
've been seeing Yuko for 3 years now and will never go anywhere else! She is definitely the best around.
Tanya
Yuko Takamura is a highly gifted lady whose healing hands have soothed, calmed and relaxed me through hectic work schedules and the ups downs of life. Yuko's treatments are unique because she works intuitively treating the individual. Every treatment I have ever received has been special & different giving me what I needed at that particular time even if I didn't know it. For me this is what makes her treatments so special, few therapists understand or embody the philosophy of treating the individual as opposed to making one treatment fit all. She understands that we are all unique and therefore we all have different needs to which she administers her wonderful healing hands and her own specially mixed oils.Yuko also has the great talent of being a great listener and a wonderful sounding board, always so generous with her kindness & support. She has listened her way through 10 years of my life and I am so grateful to her. Do yourself a kindness and book a treatment now because you're worth it !
