October – Szilvia was diagnosed with TMJ disorder and began traditional treatment. Just days before her official diagnosis, she co-led her very first TMJ webinar with Dr. Maryam Bakhtiyari. Throughout 2021, she worked on healing her own jaw while developing the first draft of the "Face Yoga" — now part of Week 3 of the Holistic TMJ program.

Nine months into traditional treatment, Szilvia experienced a severe pain flare. For the first time, she feared she might end up disabled — she couldn't chew without pain. Deeply motivated, she began developing the full-body integration system that would become Holistic TMJ. She enrolled her first beta testers, and the backbone of the method was born.

Szilvia completed her own TMJ treatment — at double the expected speed, thanks to the very method she was building. Officially clinically healed, she continued coaching others. One by one, clients who had spent 6–10 years in chronic jaw and facial pain — failed by other providers — began finding relief.

For three years, Szilvia has enjoyed full pain freedom without wearing a TMJ retainer — living proof that the Holistic TMJ method works. She continued coaching clients one-on-one, refining the approach with every person who trusted her with their healing.

Szilvia met Shawn and told him about her healing journey, and the millions of people with TMJ disorder that need a different path for healing. Together, they're now bringing this gentle, non-invasive system to people around the world who need it.
