my journey from physiotherapist
to physiofacialist master

the construction of a sensorial experience to optimised beauty

I started my career as a physiotherapist in Belgium and France before becoming a  kobido facialist based in The Hague, Netherlands.

Specialised in the most innovative and up to date manual massage techniques, I have combined my true passion and wealth of expertise acquiered in the course of years to create a series of 3 signature massages in my studio in The Hague: the Natural Facelift (face massage), the Head Release (scalp & neck massage), the Body Release (body massage), shorlty followed by the Slim Therapy Method (comprehensive slimming support program).

When I opened my exquisite idyllic haven of serenity in Paris, It also led to the creation of the Facelift Holistic Experience®, an unrivalled manual well ageing therapy, then, started dedicating more time to training beauty professionals and amateurs in order to increase my impact in the world of natural beauty.

WHY NOT TRY TO SLOw DOWN THE SIGNS OF AGEING YOURSELF?

my contribution to the ethics of natural beauty

My vision

Massage therapy is an important cornerstone on the natural pathway to restore body and mind harmony. 

 

My mission

To provide an unrivalled manual well-ageing experience to my clients and likewise to train professionals.

 

My ambition

To enable professionals and amateurs of natural beauty, to master the art and techniques of graceful ageing.

 

MY MANIFESTO FOR intentional natural beauty across ages

At some point, we are all affected by the signs of winters passing by. Everyone reacts differently. Some embrace it with confidence, others with despair of sorts. To various degrees, this makes us self-conscious and at times desperate to find a solution.

The market is satured with anti-aging solutions, ranging from the most gentle to the highly invasive ones,  to help all maintain youthful looks.  Personal convictions guide people when making decisions. And personally, I prefer a non-invasive path and would like to lead you to one of natural beauty.

I have indeed dedicated my professional life to those who want to “age well” or “age gracefully” as I often say: those who don’t want to change the structure or the appearance of their face artificially, but accept themselves  as they are – their wrinkles speak wonders of their unique life stories . They are looking for natural ways to delay and reduce signs of ageing while maintening their authenticity self.

 Eastern cultures, in their quest for eternal youth and beauty, aim at finding a holistic balance between mind and body.  And manual face massage is one of the ancestral techniques used to slow down the signes of ageing. While appreciating their unique methods, I embrace their ancestral wisdom of anti-ageing tratments as the Kobido techniques . 

As the Western world is now moving towards holistic treatments, I share the mastery with clients during treatments or training courses.

Gracefully yours, Florence Laval
