“Testimonials”

“I embarked on my face fitness program not knowing what to expect. I always believed that the deep lines between my brows were genetically inherited. Dr Ruffin proved that they weren’t!. After completing the 12 week fitness program those lines are so much softer now and with continued facial fitness I am confident that they will disappear. This is not a quick fix but results can be had with commitment, consistency and most of all with Dr. Ruffin’s guidance. During our weekly sessions she tweaked and modified the program to meet my individual needs. I am excited to witness my continued transformation.”

“I have worked with Dr. Ruffin for the last 12 weeks. I met with her every week, and she led me step by step to learn the exercises and made sure they were right for me. I showed up each week eager to commit to my new exercise routine and I learned something new each time we met. I am very happy with my results, and I am looking forward to continuing my work with her.”

 ~R.M. (Holistic Health Coach)

“You head to the gym to strengthen your biceps, hamstrings, and balance, etc., right? But hey, when it comes to your face what do you do? Nothing except paint it and then get it cut up? THINK. If you workout your body why not your face? Bellantz educates you about your unique facial muscles- from big to delicate. Then, teaches you a quick twice daily routine. It works. Your look improves naturally and with grace. Not that weird “eternal surprise” look of plastic surgery.”

-Carey D. (Model), NYC

“I LOVE Bellantz Skincare products! I use them everyday. My skin feels amazing and all the products I’ve used so far smells amazing. I also have an autoimmune condition, so I also watch what I put in and on my body. It feels amazing knowing I’m only using organics! Thank you for developing your line !!”

~Carol O. (Jeweler), NJ

“I started working with Dr. Ruffin a year ago to learn her face fitness program.  At first it was quite challenging as I did not have muscle awareness when it came to my face.  Over time, I could feel the tone of my face firming up and my appearance changing.  It felt different when I smiled and even when I ate my food.  Friends and family were noticing a difference and they said I looked like the hands of time were going backward.  The combination of an improvement in my appearance along with better functionality of my face created a powerful synergy.  I am grateful to Dr. Ruffin for developing such an effective program in order to sustain a youthful appearance.”

“Naeemah, Guess what? It's official. My phone does not recognize my face anymore and I had to redo my security settings!”

~Lisa B. (Attorney), WA

“I have been so pleased with the experience and the results that I’ve achieved with Bellantz’s facial exercises. I admittedly was a bit skeptical when I first learned about the program, but gave it a try, in an effort to battle against the signs of age I was seeing in my face as I progressed through my 50’s. I had used some Botox, but realized that it was causing my muscles to atrophy and thereby deflate my face, further aging me. I embarked on a Botox detox with Bellantz. Naeemah is such a warm and engaging person, who truly wants to help you reach your goals. Her credentials, knowledge, level of research and thorough investigation impressed me and gave me confidence in her methods. I enjoy the challenge of learning to isolate facial muscles that I didn’t know I could manipulate, and I appreciate how Naeemah truly personalizes the exercises to target the facial regions that are most important to her clients. She tunes in to her clients’ exercise techniques and provides feedback and corrections as needed, all the while making them feel comfortable and confident. I feel I now have a lifelong fitness regimen for my face to go along with the exercise regimen and healthy lifestyle that I afford the rest of my body.

Thank you Naeemah for enhancing my lifestyle and helping me be my best self, naturally!”

~Sharon N., WA

“Working with Dr. Naeemah Ruffin is a revelation! As a fitness professional, I am always looking for new and innovative ways to exercise, and this fits the bill. Instead of looking at YouTube videos and be told how to do exercises incorrectly by people with fillers and botox, go to Dr. Naeemah, because she is the REAL deal. You get a medical professional teaching you on a weekly basis with exercises personally designed for YOUR face to help you look better and age naturally. Where do I sign up? Oh, wait. I already did. Lucky me.”

~Billy Joe Y (Fitness Trainer), NYC

Loved my facial workouts with Bellantz. So relaxing and definitely saw lines on my forehead start to diminish. Since then I've practiced the routine and feel like its definitely helping to relax my skin which then helps remove the lines. Doing this was also great pause for me in my day just for me! A me-moment for sure!

-Bonnie M., NJ

“The Bellantz services offered by Naeemah are outstanding. Naeemah is a trained medical professional who uses a scientifically research-backed framework when it comes to working with clients in her face yoga training programs. In working with her, I see her assess and evaluate every step of the way and adjusts exercises to suit my needs to create a custom program tailor made just for me. She's kind, friendly, funny, encouraging, motivating, inspiring, and pushes me beyond limits I think possible. For me, finding a professional that possesses these characteristics important because I've had facial weakness and tension due to medical issues and her approach has produced results I didn't think possible. Not only is this benefitting my face exercise program, but I swear it's also shifting my own personal mindset. How great is that! Bellantz services are *chef's kiss*.”

~Erika M., TX

"Thank you Naeemah! I am very excited about my progress. So grateful for your positive energy and coaching. It is fun and unexpected to watch myself age backwards! "

~Rachel (Corporate Executive), WA

“Naeemah's facial exercise coaching has made me look and feel much younger, naturally. Her caring and supportive style coupled with her motivating energy made the sessions fun and productive. Her program is backed by medical research that strengthening the facial muscles can reduce wrinkles and make the skin firmer. I exercise my body to stay healthy and in shape - I wanted to do same with my face. I enjoyed every moment of the coaching and appreciated the simple but energizing daily exercises. I have had people already tell me I look younger within the first few weeks. I would recommend facial exercises and highly recommend Naeemah and Bellantz to help you look younger and healthier, naturally.”

- Jennifer M. (Executive Coach), WA

“I feel like I gave myself an eye lift without surgery. I came to Naeemah because the bags under my eyes had started to look more prominent on camera. Her coaching was incredibly specific and supportive, and in less than a month, I saw a huge reduction in the areas I wanted to target. People tell me I look different, but they can’t put their finger on why—that’s Naeemah.”

- Ben (Actor), NYC

“Working with Naeemah was a greater gift than I could have imagined! For as long as I can remember, I have had some facial asymmetry that makes me incredibly self-conscious. Working as a performer, it often undermined my confidence when I realized I would see it on camera. In just a few weeks of working with Naeemah, I achieved lasting results that have been transformative for my face and my confidence. With every week of exercises, I could see significant progress. The structure of Naeemah’s coaching program enables you to appreciate your progress as you go- providing further motivation to continue. Each time we reviewed my photos, I felt such excitement and relief that it made me wish Naeemah and Bellantz could have come into my life years ago!

  Beyond the efficacy of her work, Naeemah is a treat to work with. From the moment we began, Naeemah was attentive, understanding, and responsive to my goals and priorities. Every session was thoughtful and effective, and her joy and passion for this work are contagious. She is incredibly generous with her clients and always goes the extra mile, whether it’s making herself available for questions between sessions, or incorporating additional elements of skincare, nutrition, and lifestyle to offer a broader view of face and skin health. In addition to our work on my asymmetry, Naeemah helped me transition to a new skincare regimen based entirely in products that are effective as well as safe for me and the environment. Naeemah’s positive and ambitious attitude also encouraged me to appreciate the agency I didn’t realize I had; rather than continuing to feel stuck with my asymmetry as an inherent problem, she showed me that I have the ability to change it.

  I once jokingly said to Naeemah, “thanks for fixing my face,” but it’s really true! Thanks to my work with her, I have more confidence in my appearance and can bring my best self to my life and work. I will always be grateful for her help.”

- Hannah R. (Actor), MA

“I’ve been introduced to Naeemah and have been lucky to experience a session on facial muscle assessment and exercises. It was mind blowing for me to learn the science behind the changes that these small muscles on our face can go through with age, trauma, injury or pure inactivity. Naeemah gave me a very thorough explanation about the process. She guided me on how to correct these asymmetries with exercises so that I achieve healthy looking skin and prevent aging. I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity to meet her and learn that changes can be made as long as you put in the work.”

-Dr. Monica (Physical Therapist), NYC

“At 72 years old, I thought my wrinkles were a result of the sun, heredity, and normal aging. I now realize that 80% of my wrinkles are an unwanted gift from sunbathing. I never considered Botox or any other invasive procedure to eradicate my wrinkles; I would simply accept my reality and age gracefully.

Then Dr. Ruffin invited me to join her initial trial to use facial exercises to eliminate wrinkles. Who knew exercising my facial muscles could eliminate my wrinkles? Dr. Ruffin has been pursuing a healthy lifestyle for many years. Her teaching includes her research to recommend healthy alternatives for skin care products, diet, and supplements. This combination yields results. The process yields results quickly, but you determine your results based on your daily dedication to the plan. Dr. Ruffin is very knowledgeable about a healthy lifestyle. She explains each step thoroughly, and the exercises she assigns are designed for each individual’s needs. She encourages, answers questions, is patient, and thorough. You can see results within 2 weeks. Her wholistic approach enables each client to utilize all the facets one needs to improve the skin you’re in.”

-Janet S. (Retired Principal), PA

“As a 37-year-old female dealing with stressors of the healthcare industry, I began to notice more prominent wrinkles on my forehead. I contemplated Botox and filler‘s before Dr. Ruffin introduce me to facial yoga. Dr. Ruffin is dedicated, informative and patient. Changes did not occur over night. I learned to trust the process with Dr Ruffin’s guidance and noticed a difference after more then a month. I enjoyed learning a more holistic way to fight the signs of aging. Also, Dr. Ruffin introduced me to effective skin products that reduced the pigmentations on my face.”

- S.B. (Doctor), NJ

“My instructor taught with knowledge, clarity and patience. She took the time to answer my questions and made sure I did the exercises correctly.   My facial muscles felt different which forced me to change my old facial habitual expressions. I saw an improvement after the first week. The results became more apparent each week. The two deep lines on the left side of my face below the nasolabial fold became less noticeable. My face and lips became more lifted as well.”  

- N.G., NYC

“As a person who has suffered from acne most of her adult life these products have been extremely helpful keeping my skin stay clear from breakouts and also has made my skin glow. The salicylic gel cleanser goes on smoothly and makes my skin feel so clean. The vitamin c smells delicious and feels great to apply. The acne mask was great as a spot treatment or nice to just as a full mask and I could feel the deep cleaning of my pores. The lotion did not feel heavy and was easy to apply. Using these products day and night has significantly made a difference in my skin tone, texture, and has greatly decreased breakouts. Would highly recommend all of these products.”
