Kyokutē Practitioner
Learn a complete massage using ancestral Japanese Kyokutē techniques

Presentation
Welcome, future learner! Becoming a Kyokutē Practitioner represents the first level of the Kyokutē massage pathway. If you need to, start by discovering Kyokutē.
Kyokutē is much more than a facial massage; it’s an art of touch, combining precision, fluidity and intention.
The Japanese term “Kyokutē” literally means “music” (Kyoku) and “hands” (Te). It is distinguished by its ability to go beyond the simple aesthetic facelift. It also focuses on managing emotions and inner stress. It embodies a Japanese savoir-faire in which the music of the hands combines intention, respect and precision, to deliver a moment of deep, immediate and lasting well-being.
