In this episode of Mind Body Beauty, I talk with Vanessa Breden from Transformations Beyond Beauty about her wellness journey, her thoughts on what Beyond Beautiful really means and her tips for choosing and using make-up (especially for those of us with sensitive skin or skin issues like acne and rosacea)

Vanessa owns a Wellness Studio called Transformations Beyond Beauty. She’s a personal trainer, Pilates instructor, make-up artist, nutritional medicine student and wellness advocate.

Over the years Vanessa has transformed her own health, learning to successfully manage the debilitating symptoms of Hashimotos Thyroiditis and Fibromyalgia without medication.

I chat with Vanessa about:

• Food and Mood coaching in the Transformations Beyond Beauty Wellness Studio
• Encouraging people to pay attention to how they feel after eating and monitoring stress, sleep and water intake
• Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, real beauty is something that comes from within you

• It’s not about how you look, it’s about how you feel about how you look
• People who own the room are those that feel good about themselves
• Being “Beyond Beautiful” is about finding your true inner beauty and actually being able to express that
• It’s not about creating a new you, it’s about creating a true you
• Vanessa’s thoughts on make-up and how we can judge people who wear make-up or look a certain way
• Make-up is like fashion for your face and how make-up makes you feel
• The mistakes people can make when choosing and applying make-up
