About
Nadia Zubi
Japanese Facelift & Neuro Facialist in Milan
“The face changes once the body, first, finds calm.”
Hi, I'm Nadia. The way I work doesn't come only from what I studied, but from what I've learned to observe over the years, one face at a time, in my studio in the center of Milan.
The listening
They arrive looking for a more radiant face. And when they look in the mirror, they see it. More relaxed, younger, lifted. A more open gaze, softer features, luminous skin. Sometimes they tell me their face looks almost new. Not different. Simply more rested.
It isn't a side effect. It's the point. The face changes once the body, first, finds calm.
They lie down, phone switched off, eyes still a little watchful. They leave telling me something else: that they slept better that night, that their breath dropped lower, that their jaw stopped clenching, that they feel, simply, lighter.
“I don't try to correct a face. I listen to what the body is trying to say.”

About me and my training
My journey
My research into Japanese facial massage comes from a long, progressive training, built through the study of manual techniques, of the face and of the quality of touch.
I studied Kobido® through the official program of the Kobido Esthetic College of Dr. Shogo Mochizuki, 26th Grand Master of the House of Kobido®, following the training path to the IV Level. I then deepened Facial Gua Sha with Clive Witham and continued to develop my research on lymphatic drainage, facial tension and the relationship between manual treatment, recovery and the nervous system.
But it was above all the daily work with the women who come to my studio that gradually transformed the way I observe the face.
I began to see beyond the aesthetic sign: jaws that keep working even at rest, faces that hold tension, sleep that doesn't always mean recovery, tissues that need drainage and bodies that struggle to slow down.
It is from this observation that LINYU began to take shape: from the meeting of Japanese Facelift techniques, lymphatic drainage and a new attention to the nervous system, to tension and to the body's ability to recover.
My method keeps the roots of the Japanese Facelift, but brings them into the life of the contemporary woman and her face.
For me, the face is never an isolated structure.
During a ritual I observe its relationship with the jaw, the neck, the décolleté, the breath and the person's overall state. Manual lifting remains an important part of my work, but it's no longer the only lens through which I look at a face.
Today I bring this same research into training through LINYU Academy, guiding beauticians and beauty & wellness professionals not only in learning new techniques, but in developing a different way of observing the face and educating the hands to touch.
I was among the first professionals to introduce and spread the Japanese Facelift and Japanese facial massage in Milan, when this discipline was still little known in Italy.
Today my work unites the lifting techniques of the Japanese tradition, facial lymphatic drainage and a contemporary approach that considers the face in relation to muscle tension, breath, the nervous system and the body's natural recovery processes.
I see clients by appointment in my private studio in the center of Milan, where every LINYU ritual is born from observing the person, their face and what they need in that moment.
Outside the studio
I live in the countryside, in the Pavia area, with my husband and my two children. I always wear sunglasses: protecting the skin, for me, starts there.
The studio
In the heart of Milan, two minutes from Duomo and Missori.
A private space dedicated to the recovery of the face and the nervous system. By request, you can also find me in Parma and Pavia.
