About

Karlien Van der Flaes

I am Belgian and have lived in Paris since 2014. I have always been passionate about the human body and the art of caring for others.

After ten years passing on my knowledge in several schools in Flanders, I chose to devote myself fully to treatments, listening and personalised support. My experience in several Parisian hotels and palaces has enriched my skills and refined my vision of well-being.

Today, I combine expertise, gentleness and a holistic approach to offer facials and massages adapted to each person. Beyond the treatment, I advise you on revealing the natural beauty of your skin.

Beauty is not limited to what we see: it also shows in balance, serenity and inner harmony.

  • Kindness

    A gentle, non-judgmental setting where you can let go.

  • Listening

    Every session starts with you: your skin, your body, your day.

  • Precision

    Precise movements, carefully chosen products, constant attention to detail.

My approach

A session with me

“My philosophy: to care for the whole person, reveal their natural beauty and offer a true pause to reconnect with oneself.”

  1. 1

    Listening

    We talk about your skin, your body and what you feel like today.

  2. 2

    Choosing the treatment

    I guide you towards the treatment and duration that suit you.

  3. 3

    The treatment

    I adapt the movements, pressure and rhythm to how you feel, from start to finish.

  4. 4

    A moment to come back

    After the treatment, I give you time to come back gently. A drink is offered, hot or cold: herbal tea, tea or whatever you fancy.

  5. 5

    Advice

    At the end of the session, I go over things with you: the gestures to do at home, the treatments I recommend next and how often.
