Kobido by Macuili
The japanese facial massage
Françoise Durand is passionate about Kobido massage.
She is one of the few specialists in the PACA region trained in the school of authentic Kobido®, certified by the unique school in France of ”authentic Kobido”.
This training given by Nathalie Mementeau, trained herself by the Japanese Master Shogo Mochizuki, transmits the soul and the philosophy of this ancestral art.
This training requires a lot of rigor and a great requirement at all levels to master these atypical gestures which are more of a choreography than a massage technique: a real quest for excellence.
All those who have already received this massage agree on the lifting and toning virtues of this authentic Kobido, a regenerated skin that is more radiant and smoother, a face that is more open and plumped up thanks to the blood microcirculation in the tissues.
The effects of this facial massage, by balancing the vital Ki energy, by harmonizing the Yang and Yin, are felt throughout the body and provide absolute relaxation.
What are the benefits of Kobido ?
Kobido is an ancient Japanese art known to stimulate the circulation of vital energy, Qi, in the face, neck and shoulders.
This natural treatment significantly improves the condition of the skin and slows down the aging process.
Occasionally it is used to :
- Illuminate the skin and smoothes the facial features
- Stimulate blood microcirculation and lymphatic drainage
- Plump up the face
- Soothe the nervous system thanks to its relaxing effects
- Erase the signs of fatigue and stress that cause wrinkles and dark circles…
Practiced regularly, it also brings :
- A maintenance or an improvement of the oval of the face
- Oxygenation of the tissues
- A softening and toning of the muscles
- A firming of the skin
- A promotion of collagen production
Kobido by Macuili
Françoise likes to say that the skin is the reflection of what happens inside the body, we take care to choose a good cream, a facial, but we do not think about what happens underneath.
The skin is like a fabric where our emotions, our thoughts, our history are printed.
Kobido is translated as “the way of ancestral beauty” and if the secret of this beauty was not to go against Nature, to accept the signs of time, to remain beautiful because we radiate from within?
Thanks to her customized massage, to her natural, deep, subtle and sophisticated techniques, Françoise invites you to a journey through time, to a total letting go from which you come out with a plumped up skin, lifted and redrawn features… you simply shine.
How does the Kobido beauty ritual work at Macuili?
After having installed you comfortably on her massage table, raised your legs on a cushion and having covered you cozily, Françoise opens the ritual with the laying of an oshibori (small hot towel) with the scent of Damask roses.
She then leads you in a high-flying choreography with precise and rigorous gestures. It begins gently with effleurages to circulate the lymph and drain toxins, followed by an alternation of smoothing, kneading, vibrations and percussions at a jerky rhythm. Not a square inch escapes the pulp of his fingers.
A thorough work will be done on the areas that need it the most, such as the lion’s wrinkle, crow’s feet, the contour of the lips…
It is a deep muscular stimulation which, by bringing tone and suppleness to the muscles, allows the epidermis to be reoxygenated and to restart the production of collagen. After one hour, your face is naturally drained, plumped, smoothed and lifted.
Françoise combines her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Energetics with the Kobido technique to offer you a unique Kobido Signature massage.
This 75mn treatment is enriched with a mix of pressure on the acupressure points of the face, Tui Na (using small suction cups), Gua Sha and rose quartz or jade roller.
This very special facial massage is in itself a generalized letting go of the whole body and a real rejuvenation cure.
