22 years ago today, everything changed.
July 30th, 2003. A near-fatal car accident that forced me to stop.
That moment of stillness—that pause I never would have chosen—eventually led me to create what would become the Face Yoga Method.
It wasn't immediate. But in that time of recovery, I began to understand something deeper about the connection between our faces, our emotions, and our well-being.
I started to see how much we carry in our facial muscles: stress, tension, stories we tell ourselves.
For nearly 22 years since then, I've taught Face Yoga with complete dedication.
I used to wake up with ideas, worked weekends, creating programs simply based on a question I got in an email or IG comment.
It wasn't work. It was part of me.
But over the last three years, something shifted. I began to lose motivation. The excitement I once felt was gone. Even doing what I loved started to feel heavy.
I tried everything to pick myself up. Biohacking, reading, learning new skills.
But nothing worked. I couldn't explain it. I just felt... lost.
Then came a difficult moment. My team—kind, honest, and brave enough—told me what they saw: a lack of passion, a lack of energy, a lack of engagement.
It was painful to hear, but they were right. The truth hurts.
I even thought about retiring. And that scared me, because FYM is part of my soul.
But through this difficult time, I realized something important: I still deeply love what I do. I love creating programs. I love hearing your stories - how Face Yoga has transformed not only your faces, but your confidence, energy, and lives.
Just like in Face Yoga, the first step is always awareness. Recognizing what is happening, deep down.
So I began a personal experiment. I called "Reignite Your Inner Joy."
And to my surprise... it's working. A deep, lasting shift.
I feel something shifting.
That car accident taught me that life can change in an instant, but so can we. Where there is struggle, there's also space for transformation.
The journey continues. With awareness. With intention. With joy.
