THE JOURNEY FROM PHYSIOTHERAPIST
TO PHYSIOFACIALIST

Ever since she was a child, Florence has been sensitive to touch, to the well-being of those around her, and she loved giving massages. The vocation of massage therapist was the obvious choice for her. During the 90’s, massage schools didn’t really exist and being a massage therapist wasn’t a highly regarded career choice, as a result Florence decided to become a physiotherapist.
In 1999 she opened her first practice in Belgium. She continued her studies, so as to perfect her massage techniques thanks to input from experts in the field. She first acquired the knowledge of lymphatic drainage from Dr Leduc, and went on enhance her experience with more than fifteen specialized physio techniques such as the GDS muscular chains, Mezieres (posturology) and Niromathé Method (tissular osteopathy), as well as both traditional and modern massage techniques.
A few years later, she opened her practice in the center of Paris. She specialised in physiotherapy focusing on posturology, combined with specific massages. The results she obtained showed the undeniable benefits of massages and the art of touch on the overall state of her clients health.

In 2016, family circumstances took her to The Hague in the Netherlands. As her fortieth year loomed closer, She decided it was time to follow her dreams. She gave up physiotherapy in order to focus exclusively on massage techniques.

For years, she had noticed a growing demand from patients for non-intrusive and painless rejuvenation methods, in her practice in Belgium and in Paris.
Determined to offer them the best of available cutting-edge techniques, she sought to develop her knowledge and train herself in the most innovative and most efficient manual rejuvenation face techniques. Her key objective being to constantly keep her clients looking their best whilst maintaining their original features. She followed new courses with Masters from all corners of the globe: Japan, Vietnam, Russia, Slovenia, Brazil, US, and France.

Most notably, she had the honor of being selected to be a part of the very first course which was taught in Paris in 2016-2018 by Master Dr Shogo Mochizuki himself (the 26th generation Kobido Master). She is proud to be one of the rare Kobido Facialist in Europe who studied this ancestral beauty ritual under this great Master and the first to introduce the authentic Kobido in The Netherlands.
In 2020, for the opening of her new studio in The Hague: the Florence Laval Studio , Florence used her passion and expertise to create a series of 3 Exclusive Signature Massages; the Natural Facelift (face massage), the Head Release (scalp & neck massage), the Body Release (body massage). These were shortly followed by the Slim Therapy Method (a comprehensive slimming support program)

Her Signature massages combine 4 essential values which illustrate her quest for total well-being
