Szilvia Bakos

Szilvia founded Holistic TMJ not as a business idea, but as a lifeline — first for herself, then for others, and eventually for her son.

After being diagnosed with TMJ disorder — and trying every treatment she could find — she finally healed herself. Not with splints or surgery, but by listening to her body and addressing the root causes: trauma, hypermobility, and the full-body patterns that traditional medicine had missed.

When her own son began showing signs of TMJ disorder, she helped him heal too. That's when she knew this wasn't just her story — it was something the world needed.

A yoga master for over 20 years, Szilvia brings a deep understanding of the body, breath, and nervous system to every session. Her approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and rooted in lived experience — not theory.

She also trained directly with Dr. Maryam Bakhtiyari, her TMJ doctor and inventor of a proprietary myofascial device engineered specifically for TMJ disorder, and is now certified in its use. Szilvia has developed the holistic TMJ method for her own healing and with 14 clients, all of whom found relief where nothing else worked.

What Szilvia helps with:

• Guiding you gently through her proven 8-week method
• Helping you understand your body's unique clenching patterns
• Supporting you in releasing tension — physically and emotionally
• Showing you that healing is possible, even if you've tried everything

Her approach:

• Gentle over forceful — no pushing, no pressure
• Rooted in real life — she's been where you are
• Whole-body, whole-person — jaw, fascia, trauma, breath
• Trauma-informed always — your nervous system is respected

Szilvia is not just a teacher. She's a mother, a healer, and proof that lasting relief is possible. She's here to walk with you — at your pace, in your body, toward your own healing.
