Experience the rare authenticity of KOBIDO, the ancient “Imperial Facial Massage” of Japan, performed by Agnes, trained in Japan directly under the renowned master Shogo Mochizuki.

KOBIDO facial massage is widely considered one of the most advanced, comprehensive and effective facial massage techniques globally.

    Historically, two shiatsu masters engaged in a months-long rivalry to satisfy a Japanese empress who required special care to maintain her legendary beauty. While no clear winner emerged, these masters united to establish the Kobido tradition, creating exclusive treatments reserved for royalty and geisha.

   With a history spanning 540 years, Kobido remains one of the most effective anti-aging techniques. This facial massage offers comprehensive rejuvenation, harmonising the body and mind for ultimate relaxation. Kobido is a precise lymphatic drainage and lifting massage that demands rigorous application. With consistent practice, the results can be remarkable, delivering a refreshed and youthful appearance.

  Kobido - SHIATSU FACELIFT - is a specialised facial massage that targets meridians and acupuncture points, rebalancing energy circulation in the face and neck. This energetic distribution is essential for maintaining youthful skin. The technique stimulates overall energy flow in the face, neck, and body while alleviating muscle tension that contributes to wrinkle formation. A single treatment can rejuvenate complexion, reveal glowing skin, and counteract the effects of stress.

Kobido Gemstones Massage - I also incorporate smooth, circular gemstone discs made from rose quartz, jade, and amethyst to amplify the healing effects of the treatment.

Regular practice offers a range of benefits:

• Delays skin aging

• Reshapes facial contours

• Stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation

• Promotes collagen production

• Increases epidermal oxygen

• Reduces wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles

• Improves skin texture

• Relaxes facial and neck muscles

• Provides deep relaxation

Kobido is more than just a massage; it is a Traditional Massage Art, akin to origami or the tea ceremony, characterised by its rigorous approach. The technique is complex, comprising over a thousand methods divided into 48 categories. Massage is performed with Japanese organic gel (not oil) to maintain close tissue contact, occasionally enhanced with drops of organic toner to improve glide.

Japanese Organic Skincare enhances skin quality by utilizing vital ingredients traditionally used in Japanese medicine for centuries. These carefully hand-picked ingredients ensure the highest quality and effectiveness.

• Imperial Green Tea: Known for being the strongest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it contains high levels of vitamins and minerals and is 200 times more potent than vitamin E in combating free radicals and pro-oxidants. It has been clinically proven to reduce the risks associated with sun-damaged skin and to improve oily and acne-prone skin.

• Rei Shi Mushroom: Historically used to protect against radiation and help skin combat stress effects.

• Red Kirin Ginseng: Known for balancing skin conditions by reducing stress and regulating hormone levels.

• Japanese Plum: Aids in detoxifying the face and prevents skin aging by stimulating liver function.

• Japanese Knotweed: Contains Resveratrol, an antioxidant that blocks inflammation and promotes proper blood circulation to the surface of the facial skin.

Treat yourself to a moment of pure bliss! I look forward to welcoming you!
