October at Kobido Amsterdam 🍂

A little update on what’s happening next month — and there’s quite a lot before and after my little break. 🤍

➡️ 3 October — The Face Ritual: Self-Massage Workshop
Two hours dedicated to understanding your face a little better: basic facial anatomy, lymphatic drainage, tension release and lifting self-massage techniques you can actually use at home.

➡️ 6–14 October — Kobido Amsterdam will be closed
A little time for me to recharge, reset and come back with fresh energy. ✨

➡️ 17–18 October — Kobido Lift Practitioner Training
A two-day beginner-level professional training for those who want to learn Kobido techniques and start building a strong foundation in Japanese facial massage.

➡️ 27 October — The Face Ritual: Self-Massage Workshop
An evening edition for everyone who couldn’t make the daytime workshop.

October is looking like a beautiful mix of learning, sharing, resting and coming back refreshed.

For workshop & training details, send me a DM or check the Events section on the website.

And of course — if you’re planning your Kobido treatment in October, please remember that appointments between 6–14 October won’t be available. 🤍

💖 We spend so much time taking care of our skin.
But when did we start thinking that our face ends there?

Your face is constantly moving, expressing, reacting. You chew, smile, concentrate, clench your jaw — often without even noticing how much tension you’re carrying.

And this is exactly why I see facial massage as something completely different from skincare.

Not better.
Not instead of.
Different.

I love good skincare. Keep your serums, SPF and favourite creams. 🤍

But facial massage brings something else into the conversation: touch, movement, work with facial muscles and soft tissues, and perhaps most importantly — a moment when your face doesn’t have to do anything.

No performing.
No clenching.
No holding.

Just release.

Because taking care of your face can mean more than taking care of your skin.

And sometimes your jaw will tell you that before the mirror does.

25-35% of people clench their jaw during the day not even knowing that. It can affect your facial expression, but also teeth damage, gums inflammation or headaches.

Don’t wait till it’s too late. Let us take care of your tension relief 💖

Maybe you don’t need fixing 💛

The beauty industry is very good at making us believe there is always something wrong with our face.

A line to erase.
A contour to sharpen.
A sign of ageing to correct.
Another product to add.

I see it differently.

Your face is made of muscles, fascia, circulation, expressions, tension and years of living your life.

Sometimes what it needs isn’t another thing to “fix”.

Sometimes it needs movement.
Sometimes release.
Sometimes stimulation.
Sometimes simply touch and deep rest.

That’s what I love about Kobido.

It can lift and sculpt, yes. But for me, the real beauty of this practice is that we can work with the face rather than fight against it.

You’re allowed to age.
You’re allowed to have lines.
And you’re also allowed to take care of yourself and enjoy feeling good in your own face.

Both can be true. 🤍

Which slide got you?

The more I learn, the more I dare to break the rules.

Not because I stopped believing in them.
Quite the opposite.

I love the art of traditional Kobido. It gave me the foundation for everything I do today.

But the more I learned, trained and worked with different faces, the more I started trusting my own hands, knowledge and intuition.

Because no two faces carry the same story.

Some need more lifting.
Some need drainage.
Some hold years of tension in the jaw.
Some simply need to slow down and let go.

And I realised I didn’t want to choose between all the things I’ve learned.

I wanted the freedom to use them.

To listen.
To adapt.
To create something different for the person in front of me.

And that’s how Kobido Signature Ritual was born.

Rooted in the art of Kobido, but continuously evolving with everything I learn.

One face.
One story.
One ritual.

Created for you. 🤍
