The Beauty Garden

Your invitation to beautiful skin & radiant wellbeing…at any age

Discover a gentle, holistic approach to facial rejuvenation and self-care—designed especially for women over 50 who want personal guidance to look and feel beautiful…without relying on expensive products or procedures

A personalized beauty plan, one-to-one support, live face yoga classes, on-demand routines, and a welcoming community to keep you glowing — inside and out.

We all want to feel good in our skin…

We want to look in the mirror and recognize the woman we see — not because she looks 35, but because she looks vibrant. Present. Alive.

The Beauty Garden was created for women like us.

As a midlife woman, a certified face yoga and gua sha teacher, a beauty nutrition advisor, and long-time ‘face yogi’, I will show you how to build a simple, sustainable face yoga practice based on your unique facial anatomy that reconnects you to your natural beauty—and to yourself.

With one-to-one guidance, weekly live group sessions, a library of on-demand classes, and compassionate support, you’ll discover what it means to truly glow from the inside out.

You don’t need more products.

You don’t need another peel.

You don’t need a procedure.

You just need a space where you can feel seen and cared for—and a practice that can help you feel like you again.

Welcome to The Beauty Garden.
Let’s begin…

Right Now You May Be…

✺

Cringing at the thought (and expense) of Botox, fillers, and other ‘anti-aging’ procedures - even if you’ve used them in the past

✺

Commiserating with midlife friends about the many ‘problems’ of aging skin

✺

Googling new products or treatments (maybe even face yoga) hoping to find a ‘fix’ for the things you dislike about your appearance

✺

Feeling increasingly invisible as others don’t seem to notice you the way they used to

✺

Avoiding mirrors because what you see only depresses you and you’re afraid that it’s too late to do anything about it

✺

Telling yourself it’s ‘vain’ to obsess about your skin at this age and thinking you should just get over it (while secretly hoping you won’t have to)

What is face yoga?

What is face yoga?

So glad you asked!

Face yoga is a way to tone and strengthen the muscles of the face, head, and neck, the same way you tone the muscles of your body.

When done correctly and in combination with proper skin nutrition and techniques such as facial massage, acupressure, and relaxation, face yoga can improve skin health, support overall wellbeing, and help you look and feel more vibrant at any age!

(Scroll down for more on what it can do!)

If You're Ready to...

• Stop wasting money on products or treatments that promise everything and deliver disappointment

• Release the constant mental chatter of self-criticism when you look in the mirror

• Get to know the 57 muscles of your face, head, and neck that can be toned, lifted, and cared for naturally

• Learn sustainable practices that honor your values around health, sustainability, and authentic beauty

• Feel confident and radiant in your skin—not despite your age, but because of the wisdom it represents

• Connect with other like-minded women who are embracing this natural approach to beauty and aging

• Develop a daily self-care practice that actually fits into your busy life and makes you feel amazing

• Master techniques that work from the inside out—improving circulation, releasing tension, and creating lasting results

Then It's Time to Step Into the Garden

You don't need a $50 night cream, $500 worth of Botox, or a $5,000 face lift!

What you need is knowledge, community, a caring mentor, and a proven practice that aligns with who you truly are.

What you need is The Beauty Garden.

This isn't another self-paced course you'll start enthusiastically and abandon after two weeks. This is a supportive, intimate community with built-in personal support and fresh lessons weekly. Over our six months together, you'll learn alongside other women who share your values, guided by a warm and knowledgeable mentor who understands exactly where you are in your journey (because I’m there, too!).

Why Premium Only Opens Twice a Year

The Beauty Garden is more than a class library—it’s a space for real transformation.
Because I teach and guide every one-to-one session, dietary assessment, and live class personally, I open the Premium Membership only twice a year to keep the experience intimate and effective.

This allows me to serve each member deeply, and it ensures that each new wave of members is welcomed with warmth and focus.

Don’t worry — if you’ve missed enrollment, you can start with the Basic Membership and upgrade when the garden blooms again! (typically May & October)

The Beauty Garden is Perfect for You If You:

✓ Are in midlife (or older) and noticing changes in your face that you'd like to address naturally

✓ Value sustainability and natural approaches over harsh chemicals and invasive procedures

✓ Are tired of the waste and expense of the conventional beauty industry

✓ Want personal guidance from an expert rather than trying to figure it out alone

✓ Prefer small, intimate groups to large online courses

✓ Are ready to invest in learning a skill rather than just buying more products

✓ Want to connect with like-minded women who share your values

✓ Are committed to showing up for yourself with consistency and patience

This Program is NOT for You If:

✗ You're looking for overnight transformations or miracle results

✗ You want to completely stop the aging process (that's impossible and not our goal!)

✗ You're not willing to practice consistently—results come from regular, loving attention

✗ You prefer quick fixes over sustainable practices

✗ You're not interested in the mind-body connection or holistic approaches to beauty

"I joined The Beauty Garden feeling skeptical about face yoga, but Alex's approach completely changed my perspective. Not only do I look more refreshed and toned, but I actually enjoy looking in the mirror again. The community of women is incredible, and having Alex's guidance makes all the difference."

Katherine M., Beauty Garden Member

"It's so much more than just a place to learn face yoga. There is so much in there [the member portal] and you learn so much about yourself, too. I can’t say enough good things about it!"

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • The live classes are just 20-30 minutes and are offered at two times each week. (once for Basic members) Daily practice can be as little as 2-5 minutes using our "Two-Minute Magic" techniques. Most members find they can easily fit face yoga into their existing routines.

  • Every live session is recorded and available for replay. Basic members have 7-day access to the weekly class and Premium members have ongoing access. Many members primarily use the recorded library and still get excellent results.

  • Most women notice improvements in skin tone and reduced puffiness within 2-3 weeks. More significant changes in muscle tone and facial definition typically occur within 6-12 weeks of consistent practice and continue to improve over time.

  • The Beauty Garden provides live guidance, personalized feedback, community support, and a structured learning path. You're not just watching videos—you're part of a transformative journey with personalized, expert guidance.

  • While our community is primarily midlife women (40s-60s), the techniques work for any adult. The approach is especially valuable for women experiencing hormonal changes that affect their skin and facial structure.

  • Your hands are the primary tools! Alex will recommend some optional natural beauty tools like gua sha stones, but nothing is required to get started.

  • If you’re a Basic members on a monthly plan, you can cancel any time before your renewal date and you won’t be charged again. If you are a Premium Member, you are committing to a 6-month program and are responsible for making all payments in your payment plan, even if you choose to leave the program. We do not offer refunds under any circumstances.

  • Because of the digital nature of The Beauty Garden material and the low cost of the membership, we do not offer refunds under any circumstances. However, if it is no longer a fit, you can easily cancel prior to your renewal date and you will not be charged again.

  • Pay in full for the Premium program and we’ll send your gift straight to your door!
