Kobido Lift Practitioner Training | Beginner Level

Start learning the art of Kobido during an intensive two-day Kobido training in Amsterdam.

Kobido Lift Practitioner Training introduces you to the foundations of Japanese facial massage and teaches you how to build a complete 60 to 75-minute treatment flow. The programme combines essential theory with extensive hands-on practice in a small group.

The training takes place on 17 and 18 October 2026 from 10:00 to 17:00. It is suitable for complete beginners as well as massage, beauty and wellness professionals who want to introduce facial massage into their work.

Who Is This Training For?

You do not need previous Kobido experience to join.

This training is suitable for:

• Complete beginners interested in facial massage
• Massage therapists who want to expand their services
• Beauticians and facial specialists
• Holistic and wellness practitioners
• Professionals interested in natural facial lifting
• People considering a new direction or career in wellness
• Practitioners who want to refine their touch, flow and precision

Previous experience with massage or facial treatments can help, but it is not required. What matters most is your willingness to learn, practise and develop your manual skills.

What Will You Learn?

The programme introduces Level 1 and Level 2 Kobido techniques and shows you how to connect individual movements into a complete treatment.

During the training, you will learn:

• The foundations and philosophy of Kobido
• Basic facial anatomy relevant to massage
• Treatment preparation and client positioning
• Correct posture and hand placement
• Pressure, rhythm and movement control
• Relaxation and introductory facial techniques
• Lymphatic drainage movements
• Lifting and stimulating techniques
• Facial contouring movements
• Acupressure elements
• Work around the forehead, eyes, cheeks and jaw
• How to move safely and smoothly between techniques
• How to create a complete 60 to 75-minute Kobido flow
• Basic contraindications and client safety
• How to practise and develop your technique after the course

Hands-On Practice

Kobido requires precision, rhythm and coordination. Therefore, practical learning forms the central part of this training.

You will practise each technique step by step before combining the movements into longer sequences. Justyna will observe your hands, posture, pressure and rhythm. She will also correct your technique throughout the training.

Participants practise on two models during the course. Models are provided, so you do not need to arrange someone yourself.

A Small Group Learning Experience

The training takes place in a small group of two to four participants. This gives Justyna time to provide individual guidance and hands-on corrections.

A small group also creates a calmer learning environment. You can ask questions, repeat difficult movements and practise at a pace that supports accuracy.

The training is taught in English. Questions and additional explanations in Dutch are also welcome.

Your Two-Day Training Programme

Day One

The first day introduces the foundations of Kobido. You will learn relevant theory, body position, hand placement and the first massage sequences.

We will break down each movement and practise it slowly. The focus stays on understanding the technique before increasing speed or building longer combinations.

Day Two

The second day focuses on repetition, precision and flow. You will connect the techniques from Day One and continue learning lifting, stimulating and contouring movements.

You will then practise combining the sequences into a complete 60 to 75-minute Kobido treatment.

A Professional Investment in Your Skills

This training is not simply a collection of massage movements. It gives you a practical foundation that you can continue developing into a professional facial treatment.

Adding Kobido to your skill set can help you:

• Expand your existing treatment menu
• Attract clients interested in natural facial care
• Develop a specialised manual technique
• Create a new service without investing in expensive equipment
• Increase the value of your treatment offering
• Build greater confidence when working with the face
• Move towards a new career direction in beauty or wellness

The main investment is not only the two training days. It also includes the time and practice you dedicate afterwards.

Kobido techniques require repetition and precision. Depending on how often you practise, it may take one to three months before you feel confident enough to offer a complete treatment to paying clients.

The training gives you the structure, techniques and corrections you need to begin. Your practice after the course turns that knowledge into a confident professional skill.
