Passing on the art of ageing gracefully

TRAINING COURSES FOR BEAUTY & WELL BEING PROFESSIONALS

the FACELIFT HOLISTIC EXPERIENCE® academy FOR BEAUTY & well being PROFESSIONALS

the 3 founding principles of the facelift holistic experience®

  • For holistic treatments to produce powerful, long-lasting results, a client needs time. Time to let go, time to fully relax into the treatment and time for those moments to be stored inthe body’s memory. It is why the treament lasts minimum 90 minutes.
  • Our posture, as well as all the structures linked to the face have a direct impact on our beauty. Permanent tensions in our body can be read on our face. Acting on two ways: directly releasing tensions on the body, and shaping the face with advanced manual techniques (which also act on the whole body) will reveal our beauty potential and optimize our health.
  • The face massages we do are, according to my clients, the most relaxing massages, the ones which soothe them the most, which allow them to completely disconnect from their daily lives. In addition to the youthful benefits, this intense relaxation makes a key difference.

Deceleration + Release of tensions + Disconnection

the birth of a powerful sensorial experience

Taking the above trio into consideration, I have created the Facelift Holistic Experience®, a unique experience to preserve health, beauty and youth by:

  • marrying facial massage techniques with body techniques,
  • inspired by and rooted in both ancestral and modern massage techniques such as : kobido, tuina, ayurveda, dien chan, the musclular chains, connective tissue, guasha and cupping.
  • based on a personalised protocol, from analysing the face, the tensions in the back, the neck and the head, and the client’s breathing and posture.

Far more than a massage, the Facelift Holistic Experience® is a sensorial journey, both an energy treatment and a therapeutic one. It is jam-packed full of techniques which give instant results: a natural “10 years younger” facelift, a rested body and mind, and new-found energy.

the facelift holistic experience® certifying training

Students' experience

Apart from being a spectacular massage therapist and facialist, Florence Laval is an amazing teacher and mentor. I'm so proud to follow her Facelift Holistic Experience training. It's the fruit of years of study and experience, combining many holistic approaches and contemporary ones. I really respect her passion and dedication.
Nancy R.
It is the experience of kobido facial treatment at Florence Laval Studio that made me want to explore it indepth. And… here I am - on my third module of Holistic Facelift Experience with Florence.
There are scores of courses and trainings that offer facial yoga, facial fitness, facial rejuvenation etc. Every second girl on Instagram or Tik Tok is a guasha expert or skin care expert. So Why Florence Laval? Well, it is a comprehensively structured programme that outlines its specific philosophy and approach, lays scientific foundation, provides theoretic knowledge and then applies all of the above into practice. And... practice is the keyword here.
How to make your fingers dance How to make them flutter like butterflies? How to alternate pace and tempo? How to synchronise movement of the right and left hand? How to create this visual spectacle that is kobido. Not a walk in the park but a serious rigorous training requiring hours of predicated practice. Challenging ? Yes! Intense? Definitely! But also stimulating, inspiring, and rewarding.
Florence is a methodical, patient, generous teacher who best embodies her education program: high standards, rigour, precision, creativity. I feel fortunate to learn from such dedicated passionate professional and look forward to starting to offer the Facelift Holistic Experience to my clients.

The Face Workout Program at Florence Laval Studio was an amazing experience. Florence gives meticulous attention to detail and guides us through the exercises to drain and sculpt the face, step by step. We were required to practice it before moving onto the next set of facial exercises. As the sessions progressed, the improvement was quite visible. Other than the face yoga exercises, Florence also showed us how to effectively use the guasha, cup, quartz roller and mushroom and the Dian Chan rollers for drainage and sculpting. At the end of the session, we were happily suprised as she gave each of us an individual face yoga plan, adapted to our needs. Personally, I found it very useful and can highly recommend it.

why is Facelift Holistic Experience so efficient?

  • Manually working the various subcutaneous layers allows the blood and lymphatic systems to circulate better, with a direct positive effect on cellular regeneration and the production of fibroblastes. Collagen and elastin production are also stimulated, which over time, slows the development of wrinkles.
  • Massaging and stimulating facial muscles improves their elasticity and maintains tonicity. This leads to an overall re-balancing: muscles which have been overworked. Muscles which were not working enough are stimulated back to life.
  • Tapping on the bones wakes our bone structure up and helps the muscles to work correctly.
  • Using massage to release emotions which have been blocked, makes the face more supple. The face is a mirror, showing our deepest feelings. Learning to read a face and its lines is essential in order to help the client release the emotions which have been freezing their expression.
  • Regular stimulation of the meridians and acupressure points, which are located on the face and linked throughout the whole of the body, helps to re-balance the health of our organs. Beauty is the outcome of being in a state of optimal health and being balance according to the principles of Chinese medicine.
  • Facial reflexology proved that stimulating the reflex points on the face benefits the whole body.
  • Stress and the cortisol damage collagen and accelerate ageing - and can sometimes even lead to various skin pathologies Through relaxation we can significantly improve the quality of the skin.
  • Releasing specific local muscular tension in the neck and shoulders for instance relieves pain and therefore improves the posture, eases fatigue and frees the tensions seen on the face.
