Yvette Pons, Spain

Latest Massage Therapist at the World Championship in Massage is Yvette Pons from Spain. The International Massage Association has asked her to tell about herself:

My name is Yvette Pons, I represent Spain, and I am from Igualada, a city in the province of Barcelona. I am 56 years old. it’s a pleasure to introduce myself!

I hold a degree in Comprehensive Aesthetics and Lymphatic Drainage, obtained 33 years ago. Since 1996, I have owned my own Beauty Center, where we specialize in manual therapies for both the face and body.

    Throughout these years, I have continuously trained in various manual techniques and disciplines related to biomechanics, anatomy, muscular chains, and more. I have collaborated with numerous laboratories that have trained me in their specialized massage techniques.

    In 2019, I launched my own training project in signature manual techniques-methods created and registered under Intellectual Property Rights. I provide training both in Spain and internationally.

    One of my signature methods is based on the diagnosis of Facial Bone Biotypes, where I teach how to address individual aging signs through personalized manual techniques. Another key method is the Sulyfth® Facial Lifting, which I would like to present in the championship. Additionally, I have developed Inflammassaging, a specialized massage to treat abdominal inflammation.

    The technique I am submitting is my registered method, SULYFTH® (Sublime Lifting Therapy) – the “Y” in the name represents my name, Yvette. SULYFTH® is a 90-minute therapy that addresses all structures involved in facial aging, working from the deep musculature, fascia, and bone structure to the skin, fatty compartments, lymphatic and venous systems, and capillary microcirculation.

    The massage begins at the sacrum, diaphragm, shoulder positioning, and scapulae, followed by relaxation of the neck’s muscular chain. It then progresses through the décolleté, neck, epicranial aponeurosis, and the entire face. Each structure is manipulated using specific techniques in a precise order, aligned with physiological and anatomical logic. These techniques are adapted to different depths, thicknesses, pressures, and speeds to achieve optimal results.

    SULYFTH® is not just a massage it is a therapy. Beyond delivering outstanding results, it provides a rejuvenating experience, almost like waking up from a journey through time.

    Currently, SULYFTH® is recognized by leading experts as the best manual lifting technique available in Spain. It has been widely acclaimed by the Spanish press and has won two awards as the Best Manual Aesthetic Treatment.

    I graduated from Cristina Sorli in Aesthetics and Vodder Lymphatic Drainage (www.cristinasorli.com).
    Additionally, I have pursued numerous related courses at Ismet Training Center (www.ismet.es), including post-surgical drainage training with physiotherapist Juan de Dios Pérez Bruzón, an expert in Vodder Lymphatic Drainage.
    I have also trained in a wide range of manual techniques with various laboratories.

    I manage two social media accounts and websites, one dedicated to my training company and the other to my aesthetics center:

          Dear therapist friends,Creating a video for a championship increases your visibility in the sector, you are known by the world of massage, it increases your professional growth and every time I made a video by participating in this competition I donated all my experience, and I tried to convey my passion, my art, my techniques.It takes commitment, love and innovation to make a video and capture the public's attention.I think the most important ingredient is to convey an important message, furthermore I had a lot of fun every time I chose to present a new video and I am sure that participating with one of our videos will remain in the history of massage, because Ima represents thethe only large and true association that represents the union of all therapists in the world to disseminate the art of massage. Every year. I have presented several of my videos with my different massage techniques and also this year 24 without any expectations and to my great amazementOn June 24 in Copenhagen I won likeBest video in the teachers category.Go see it on you tube Ima.Anna BaroniThe lady of emotions, as the great Constantine Barbu christened meThe mother of massage for many Masters and judges but there is a reason whyI was the first in the world of massage in 1995 to have two great intuitions:👑The first combines 7 techniques into oneMy.

          I had the honor of participating in the 7th Massage Competition held in Copenhagen, Denmark, last June about 250 over participants from 50 over countries.During this event, I encountered numerous massage therapists who profoundly inspired me till now, we made connectionson social media, learning new techniques from them as well.The competition venue was expansive and expertly designed to accommodate all categories of massage.Mr. Jeppe, my greatest idol, was exceptionally engaged throughout the event. His energy seemed boundless, akin to a rechargeable battery, as he was present everywhere, capturing videos and photographs of all participants and conducting interviews with us.Wishing all my fellow "muscle kneaders" the best of luck; may you enjoy this truly remarkable experience in your lives!I extend my gratitude to IMA for providing this extraordinary opportunity to showcase our talents to the world.PSLet me know if you need some tips on accommodation, walking distance to the venue 😉Mabuhay! 🇵🇭

          I recently had the pleasure of attending a massage seminar jointly organized by IMA Academy and Chiida Academy, and I must say it was a truly enriching experience. The seminar, led by a professional instructor, was a perfect blend of theory and practice, offering valuable insights into the art of massage therapy. The theoretical aspects covered were comprehensive and informative, providing a solid foundation of knowledge for all participants. From anatomy and physiology to various massage techniques and their applications, every aspect was explained with clarity and depth. It was evident that the instructor was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about imparting their expertise to the students. What truly stood out about this seminar was the emphasis on hands-on practice. Participants were given ample opportunities to apply the theoretical concepts they had learned in a supportive and nurturing environment. The instructor's guidance and feedback were invaluable in honing our skills and techniques. Moreover, I was impressed by the caring attitude and thoughtfulness shown towards the students throughout the seminar. From providing necessary materials to addressing individual queries and concerns, the organizers ensured that everyone felt valued and supported. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Jeppe Tengbjerg for his exceptional leadership in making this seminar a resounding success. His expertise, patience, and genuine dedication to the art of massage therapy were truly inspiring.In conclusion, the collaborative effort between IMA Academy and Chiida Academy in presenting this massage seminar was commendable. It was a rewarding experience that left me feeling empowered and equipped with valuable knowledge and skills. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of massage therapy or embark on a career in this field.

          Jeg mødte Jeppe Tengbjerg for første gang ved det første World Massage Championship i 2017. Siden da har vi krydset veje mange gange, i forskellige samarbejder relateret til massageverdenen: internationale konkurrencer, danske konkurrencer, kurser, workshops, seminarer, masterclasses mv. . Her var Jeppe skaberen, arrangøren eller i det mindste var han en væsentlig faktor i dannelsen af disse værdifulde platforme for uddannelse, inspiration og promovering, for alle dem, der er involveret i massageverdenen, både som massageudbydere og som massageforbrugere.Jeppe har ydet et kæmpe bidrag til at fremme massageværdier i Danmark og verden. Der kunne siges meget om dette bidrag og om hans egenskaber som professionel og som person. Måske allervigtigst er, at Jeppe Tengbjerg er en inspiration og et forbillede. Han samler flittigt viden og erfaringer, hvorfra han skaber en kilde til ny viden og erfaring til andre og giver den videre.I dag er der allerede mange mennesker i verden, som har nydt godt af det kolossale arbejde, Jeppe konstant udfører. Jeppe er for mig et eksempel på flid, vedholdenhed og engagement.Jeg synes, at Jeppe Tengbjerg er et navn, der allerede er trådt ind i massagens historie.Vil du vide mere om Jeppes arbejde, så følg ham tæt på alle digitale kanaler, hvor han har publiceret talrige artikler og relevante materialer.Hvis du er en massageterapeut interesseret i at blive endnu bedre, så deltag i konkurrencer eller uddannelser promoveret af Jeppe Tengbjerg.Drømmer du om at blive massør, så kontakt Jeppe Tengbjerg.
