For massage therapists, beauty professionals, and health practitioners.

Kobido is one of the oldest and most sophisticated facial massage techniques in the world, originating in 15th century Japan. More than an aesthetic treatment, it is a complete therapeutic approach: lifting, draining, releasing deep facial tension, and restoring energetic circulation through the face.

Anna Makarkina Bochatay brings over sixteen years of experience, acquired in her own practice and in the largest spas and holistic health centers of Geneva. Trained in renowned professional schools in Switzerland and France, she practices an authentic Kobido, in the direct lineage of Dr Shogo Mochizuki, 26th generation Master of the Kobido house. She is one of the leading Kobido trainers in the region.

What you will learn
The foundational and advanced techniques of Kobido facial massage: rhythmic percussion, deep muscle work, lymphatic drainage, and energetic balancing. Contraindications, client assessment, and protocol design. Hands-on practice throughout the three days, including a full treatment on a model on day three.

What you will leave with
Full technical mastery of the Kobido protocol. A treatment you can offer from the very next day. An official training certificate.

Who this is for
Massage therapists, naturopaths, aesthetic professionals, TCM practitioners, and any health professional wanting to integrate a high-value, results-driven facial therapy into their practice.
