View ProgramsWhy OpenToxcess Was Needed
The beauty, wellness, and human services sectors are growing rapidly, yet practice and theory, field and academia often remain disconnected. OpenToxcess was founded to bridge this gap and create a space where professionals can grow within a common language and framework. We aim to bring together knowledge from toxicology, exercise & rehabilitation, emotional & neuroscience, lifestyle medicine, and more, restructuring it into forms directly applicable in the field.
OpenToxcess is an innovative platform connecting practice, theory, and philosophy. We aim to build a global network that shares knowledge, accumulates experience, and grows both individual capabilities and community value together. Ultimately, our vision is to establish a beauty & wellness professional ecosystem that enhances quality of life, based on the IntraTox 5-dimensional framework.
Four Core Values OpenToxcess Pursues
We provide an environment where individuals can strengthen their capabilities and grow into true professionals through deep practice and learning.
We experiment with new educational models by integrating practice, theory, and philosophy. We create comprehensive and multidimensional learning experiences, not fragmented lectures.
We aim for an open community that shares knowledge, collaborates, and opens up each other's experiences. We build a professional network that grows together, not alone.
We design so that individual growth leads to added value for the entire community. We aim for a sustainable platform where education, research, and business create a virtuous cycle.
We provide an integrated approach from hands-on practice to theoretical learning and philosophical framework through three core programs: TÉCHPOSIUM, THÉORIUM, and IntraTox
Regular hands-on practice programs where you master techniques using real cases and tools.
Experts from various fields provide direct guidance, with small group sessions ensuring detailed feedback.
Natural exchange of field experience and know-how through participant networking.
