Flavio Acuña, physiotherapist, wellness expert, and CEO of Spa Natural Center, has once again made his mark on the international stage. Together with world-renowned Canadian therapist Phiane Duquet, he led a high-level dual-certification training in Tok Sen Vibrational Medicine and ancestral massage in Punta del Este, Uruguay — an event that exceeded all expectations and captured the attention of global media. At Spa Natural Center, we couldn’t be prouder of this milestone.
A World-Class Training in the Heart of Uruguay
On March 7 and 8, 2026, Punta del Este — one of South America’s most prestigious destinations — hosted the first edition of this elite program. The overwhelming response led to an immediate second edition, held on March 13 and 14: a clear testament to the impact Flavio Acuña generates wherever he goes.
The program brought together two extraordinary figures in the world of therapeutic wellness. Phiane Duquet, a body therapist from Quebec, Canada, sixth world champion in Kobido massage, and international authority in vibrational medicine and ancestral therapeutic techniques, led the Tok Sen module — an ancient technique originating in northern Thailand that uses vibrations produced by wooden instruments to stimulate the body’s energy lines, induce deep relaxation, and release accumulated muscular tension.
Our CEO Flavio Acuña delivered the modules on four-axis body alignment and ancestral massage techniques, focused on building practical competencies and raising professional standards in manual therapies. His rigorous teaching methodology, developed over more than two decades based in the Dominican Republic, was received with exceptional enthusiasm by all participants.
A Dual International Certification of Exceptional Value
Upon completing the program, participants received a prestigious dual international certification:
- Tok Sen Vibrational Medicine Certification, issued by La Gestuelle – L’oeuvre de beauté (Quebec, Canada), the institution founded by Phiane Duquet.
- ODM International – Elite Therapist Partner Accreditation. ODM International is an ISO 9001-certified accreditation body, recognized in over 170 countries, committed to quality standards across healthcare, wellness, and social sectors.
This dual accreditation was issued through Flavio Acuña in his role as a certified Instructor and Director at IQF levels 4, 5, and 6 — the highest standards of the International Qualifications Framework — positioning certified professionals at the forefront of the wellness sector, both regionally and internationally.
The event received the institutional support of the Punta del Este Association of Wellness, Longevity and Tourism and the Municipality of Punta del Este, both of which recognized this gathering as a catalyst for the growth and international projection of the wellness sector in Uruguay.
Global Media Coverage: The World Took Notice
The event resonated far beyond Uruguay’s borders. Specialized publications and digital platforms across Latin America, Spain, and other international markets covered the training, highlighting the quality of the content, the caliber of the facilitators, and the strong institutional backing the program received. This global media attention confirms what we at Spa Natural Center have always known: Flavio Acuña doesn’t just train therapists — he builds community, raises standards, and places Spanish-speaking wellness at the center of the global conversation.
At Spa Natural Center, we congratulate our CEO on this new chapter of excellence and thank him for representing, with such distinction, the values that define us: scientific rigor, ancestral depth, pedagogical innovation, and a genuine commitment to human wellbeing.
The world of wellness knows exactly who Flavio Acuña is. And we are proud to be part of that story.
