How it all began - The History of YoniFlex.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
After the birth of my second baby, I noticed a shift in my pelvic floor; a weakness and bulging feeling that wasn't there before. I started having bladder leaks when laughing, sneezing, or running up the stairs. I visited a pelvic floor therapist. Upon examination, it was determined I had stress incontinence and early stages of prolapse.
I was frustrated, ashamed, and embarrassed. I was not about to consider surgery, and I’m not a ‘sit around’ type of gal, so I started my own journey to find a solution.
After months of searching, I finally found something that really worked! An EMS Pelvic Floor trainer. Within 6 weeks of starting treatment I began to feel improvements. Within 3 months, I was back to my pre-baby self!
No more leaking when I ran, laughed, or sneezed. My prolapse? Gone.
I felt like a new and improved version of myself, and I was able to get back to doing the things I loved, with confidence and joy, and without worry of leaking or discomfort.
Being a serial entrepreneur, and being that it was the early stages of Covid lockdown at the time, I decided to start YoniFlex. I researched and worked with over a dozen different manufacturers before finding the right fit. Quality, safety, and value were all the most important to me in this business.
I worked hand in hand with a local physiotherapist and designed the YoniFlex to be easy to use, comfortable, and of the very best quality.
After speaking with many women in my age group, and looking online, I was blown away how many women are suffering in silence. Embarrassed and ashamed, and just not knowing what to do about it. I knew at this point I just had to do something about this, and YoniFlex was born.
Part 2: The transition
As a mom of 2 with a wildly busy life, YoniFlex became too much for me.
In conversation with a friend, after discussing YoniFlex with her, Rae not only matched but even exceeded my passion for this project. She came on the team nearly instantly, full steam ahead and helped move YoniFlex into where we are today.
I've since taken a back seat in this space, but Rae is full steam ahead, and she is every bit as passionate and intelligent as I am. I look forward to seeing the growth and empowerment YoniFlex brings to women across North America, and across the world.

Part 3: The new Face
Hi everyone, I'm Rae!
I was in my early 40s when I met Tricia and she told me about YoniFlex. To say I was excited was the understatement of my life. How could this device not be known by everyone, and used by so many women I knew!
I instantly connected to the product and to Tricia's story. I've had two kids, and in my early 40's, noticed I started to slowly lose control of my bladder. I started peeing just a little when I laughed too hard, or when I sneezed. I tried a few things, including a YoniStick, manual kegel exercises, but nothing really helped. When Tricia offered me to try the YoniFlex, I was 110% on board.
After asking about a zillion questions about YoniFlex, I gave it a try. I felt my muscles working and pulling and squeezing in a way that I hadn't felt before. I felt like - this is what a kegel is supposed to feel like. There was just no way I would be able to squeeze my own muscles this tight. I used YoniFlex daily, and after about three weeks, I started noticing feeling tighter overall, and feeling more held up inside. I started having less sudden urges to urinate, less bladder emergencies, and less leakage overall. I completed the 12 week program, and felt pretty much 100% leak free. I could do anything without any issues. My confidence levels were sky high, and I was a believer!
I joined YoniFlex about 3 years ago, and have been doing a lot of passionate work supporting many women who struggled just like me. I believe all women should know about YoniFlex, and should be using it as we age to keep our power and strength.
