Personal Life & Biography

Born and raised in Belgium, Bouchra graduated from the prestigious Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) after completing a five-year university program in Physiotherapy, consisting of a three-year Bachelor’s degree followed by a two-year Master’s degree.
Her passion for Manual Lymphatic Drainage began during her university studies. While treating patients, she witnessed the remarkable impact lymphatic drainage could have on people’s recovery, comfort, and quality of life. Seeing those transformations inspired her to dedicate her career to this unique speciality.
From that moment, Manual Lymphatic Drainage became far more than a profession—it became her life’s passion.
Her international training includes advanced education in:
Bouchra believes that learning never ends. Every year she continues to attend advanced courses, international masterclasses, and specialised training to refine her techniques and ensure that New Shape clients always benefit from the latest evidence-based treatments available worldwide.
She began her professional career in physiotherapy and lymphatic drainage in 2008, giving her more than 17 years of clinical experience.
Throughout these years, she has treated thousands of clients from different countries, developed her own treatment philosophy, trained therapists, and built treatment protocols that combine science, precision, and personalised care.
For Bouchra, lymphatic drainage is not simply a massage.

It is a therapeutic art that requires anatomical knowledge, clinical expertise, precision,
patience, and a deep understanding of how every body heals differently.

Her philosophy is simple:

Everybody is unique, and every treatment should be unique.
This philosophy became the foundation of New Shape Center by Bouchra, where every therapist is trained according to strict clinical protocols and every treatment is personalized to achieve the safest and most effective results possible.

Bouchra’s Vision and Mission

My vision has always been to offer an experience, not simply a treatment.
I want every client who walks through the doors of New Shape to feel genuinely cared for from the very first consultation until the end of their recovery journey.
For me, luxury is not defined by beautiful interiors or sophisticated equipment alone. True luxury lies in expertise, compassion, attention to detail, and achieving exceptional results.
I also want to increase public awareness about the importance of the lymphatic system and help people understand that Manual Lymphatic Drainage is much more than a massage—it is an essential part of recovery, health, and overall well-being.
My commitment is to continuously travel, learn, and bring the newest evidence-based techniques from around the world into every New Shape Center, ensuring that our clients always receive the most advanced care available.
