Our Story

The Glöw Method is a holistic wellness and beauty concept that was born out of a love for self care, lust for quality products, and commitment to exceptional customer service.

Having tried everything from Proactiv to Prozac, Aquene Diedricksen, owner and creator of The Glöw Method, was tired of struggling with acne and the anxiety that came with it. From a young age, her determination to treat her own skin would grow into a full-on obsession with the world of esthetics, holistic wellness, and psychodermatology.

Hello! My name is Aquene (which translates to ‘peace’ from the Nipmuc Native American tribe). I am a Holistic Health Coach, mindful movement instructor, and have been a practicing esthetician and self care junkie for over a decade. Having struggled greatly with my skin as a teen, I became determined to treat myself and my body’s largest organ with the utmost compassion… and the results were astounding.

When I moved to South Florida after completing my esthetics training, I underwent a year-long apprenticeship under Kristen Bauer, owner and formulator of Nourishe Organics in Delray Beach, FL. There, I learned about the power of plants and herbs as well as the importance of internal balance and its effects on the skin and spirit as a whole.

During my apprenticeship, I worked full time as an esthetician and regional skincare educator for LifeSpa at Lifetime Athletic Club in Boca Raton.

I returned to my hometown of Southwest Harbor, Maine in 2018 and decided to open The Glöw Method in order to help others achieve their ultimate glow-up through education, empowerment, and confidence.

Today, I focus on work/life balance, spending my spare time resting and playing in Acadia National Park, teaching fitness classes, giving treatments, and reading up on the latest in self care and spirituality.
