KOBIDO - EXCEPTIONAL FACIAL MASSAGE
A Japanese art of touch, with natural lifting effects
practiced with a keen awareness of the face and its texture,
and what he is expressing at that moment.
KOBIDO, AN ART OF THE LIVING FACE
Kobido is an ancient facial massage originating in Japan. It is based
on the transmission of precise and rhythmic gestures , practiced
with presence where each maneuver enters
in dialogue with the tissues & energy of the face.
Much more than a series of gestures, it acts on the
facial vitality, circulation, and tone
fabrics and the quality of the release.
When practiced correctly, kobido restores
mobility, releases accumulated tensions and
promotes a more open, more lively expression.
It's not a spectacular treatment. It's work.
In-depth, progressive, respectful.
A KOBIDO PRACTICED BY LISTENING TO THE FACE
Each face has its own density, its own story.
its retention and fatigue zones.
Here, Kobido is never applied as a fixed protocol.
The movement is constantly adapting:
to the texture of the skin,
to the current tensions,
to the energy of the moment.
Touch imposes nothing.
He listens, adjusts, responds, until the face
regains its natural mobility and balance.
It is this quality of listening that gives the care its full value.
its depth.
WHAT KOBIDO DOES FOR THE FACE

Improved muscle tone
Stimulation of blood and lymphatic circulation
A deep release of tension in the face and jaw

A sensation of a living, present face
Beyond the visible aspect, many feel an overall calming, a deep relaxation, some even speak of an inner recentering.
The face relaxes. The body follows.
WHO IS THIS TREATMENT FOR?
This treatment is for those who:
feel tension in the face, jaw & neck
wish to maintain the tone and vitality of their face
- they are looking for a natural, respectful, unpretentious approach
- desire deep care, far removed from standardized protocols
- seek overall relaxation and deep calming, beyond the face
Although Kobido focuses on the face, it is part of a holistic approach, linked to the areas that support and surround it.
The work goes beyond the face alone and invites a deep relaxation, felt throughout the entire body.
Kobido is not a surgical facelift.
It does not promise to transform a face, but to accompany it towards more balance, mobility and presence.
It requires time, regularity and genuine self-discipline.
KOBIDO MASSAGE PROCEDURE
The treatment begins with a period of welcoming and listening.
allowing the face, body and mind to settle.
Guided breathing opens the session as an invitation to fully enter into the present moment.
The ritual unfolds gradually:
Floral mist, facial wrap with hot or cool towels depending on the season...
Then the massage settles into a play of rhythms, like a dance alternating pressures, stretches & enveloping phases always adjusted to the face of the day.
At the end of the session, cold stone tools are used to awaken the tissues, refine sensations and prolong the effects of the treatment.
The session ends with the vibratory sound of the Tibetan singing bowl, allowing the face and body time to integrate, before fully returning to their state of consciousness.
The duration of the treatment allows for a thorough and unhurried process.
