How Face Yoga Helped This Mom Heal and Reconnect with Herself After a Traumatic Pregnancy

At 35, Vanessa Florez had it all figured out.

She was a successful Sports Scientist, a Charisma Coach, and a skilled Bodyworker with 12 years of experience.

Life was pretty steady – until the two blue lines on a pregnancy test changed everything.

Pregnancy was nothing like she’d imagined. Instead of a joyful transition, Vanessa faced a storm of physical and emotional turmoil. 

The excessive vomiting, fatigue, and FEAR of losing her precious baby made each day a struggle, distorting her once-familiar reflection. 

She felt her strength slipping away, her face losing its fullness, and her eyes growing hollow.

The woman she saw in the mirror no longer resembled the person she knew herself to be, leaving her feeling disconnected from her own identity.

In that moment of raw self-reflection, she questioned her worth, “How can anyone connect with me when I look so frightened and worn out? And how can I possibly accept myself like this?”

But just like in every great story – each of my Teacher Certification Course Graduates has their own turning point…

For Vanessa, it came when she least expected it!

While casually browsing YouTube one day, Vanessa found Fumiko. It was late, 10 PM or so, but something urged her to try just one Pose – the Smiling Pose.

As soon as she did, something clicked inside of her – almost like a “lightbulb moment”.

That night, as she walked out of the kitchen, her husband noticed the change. “You’re looking somehow different,” he said. In that instant, she knew something had changed…

“I could still feel this smile on my face in the morning when I woke up and I felt so much better,” she said.

Vanessa realized she needed to reinvent more than just her business (especially with the responsibilities of impending motherhood), she needed to find herself again.

Without any second thoughts, she enrolled into the Face Yoga Method Teacher Certification Course and got accepted!

The more she practiced Face Yoga, the more she felt connected to her femininity and self-expression. 

It became a deeply personal journey of rediscovery and healing.

Soon Vanessa began sharing this practice with others. 

Surprisingly enough, her first client was a man! Face Yoga helped relieve his jaw issues and eased the tension in his neck – proving its universal magic!

Healing others, she could feel parts of herself heal – which was one of the most beautiful things she’s experienced!

In August, Vanessa experienced a breakthrough. 

After a fun weekend getaway that involved lots of heartfelt conversations and Face Yoga with one of her students, she returned lighter and happier. “I knew this was what I wanted to give back,” she said.

This newfound clarity led her to speak at a major congress, where she led her first Face Yoga workshop with over 2,000 people!

Doors kept opening, one after another!

One of her clients invited her to speak at a hotel in Spain. During this session, she poured her heart into sharing her story – the pain, the relief, and the incredible transformation Face Yoga brought into her life. 

“That is exactly what I wished for such a long time! To inspire people to feel more precious about this world and our bodies,” she said.

Right after that interview, people began reaching out. 

The Face Yoga Method Teacher Certification Course became her “Blooming Path”.

Fast forward to today, Vanessa has successfully launched her website, offering classes and consultations. Her slogan, “Face Your True Self,” perfectly captures the heart of her journey.

When asked about her experience with the 6-month Course, Vanessa shared, “You have this huge mountain and then you have like, this white piece on top. And you only see this white piece on top, but you cannot take the mountain away. This is the  HUGE value that you cannot take away!” 

She invites all women seeking purpose to join the Teacher Certification Course and embark on their own blooming journey.

Looking ahead, Vanessa dreams of creating a community where women leaders can discover their own path to self-love through Face Yoga, empowering them to be more present and successful in their personal and professional lives.

Her story is proof that sometimes, feeling lost might just be the KEY to finding yourself.

And just like her, the Face Yoga Method Teacher Certification Course could also be your breakthrough moment that will redirect your life to a completely new path!
