Years Before Upsetting Divorce and “Jiu Jitsu” Coach Drama, Gisele Bündchen Met Another Trainer Who Changed Her Life Forever

Gisele Bündchen has been a beacon within the fashion industry. Her career’s growth has always been on an upward incline, transcending expectations time and again. While the model stepped away from the industry to focus on her family with NFL star Tom Brady, Bündchen’s relevance has not diminished in the slightest.

However, despite her success, her journey to the top wasn’t an easy road to navigate. Facing struggles of her own, the model was on a quest for answers. And when the situation went from bad to worse, she hesitated to rely on medication. Seeking solutions that could help with her diminishing mental well-being, Gisele Bündchen found a way forward. So, what helped the supermodel face her fears?

Gisele Bündchen’s long-term solution

The Brazilian supermodel was making waves on the runway, but behind the scenes, her mental health was on a decline. According to her 2018 tell-all, ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life,’ the panic attacks she had begun to experience prompted suicidal thoughts. Although the model did not act on them, the fear was ever present.

The model has been under heavy scrutiny after her split from Tom Brady. In the months that followed, Bündchen was also encased in rumors that romantically linked her to Joaquim Valente. The latter is her current jiu-jitsu trainer. While the model has emphasized that Valente had helped her empower herself through martial art, the practice that truly aided her growth came long before the recent drama.

Heading back to Bündchen’s early days as a model and her reluctance to rely on medication to cope with her panic attacks, the model found her answer in yoga. That’s how Bündchen’s introduction to a holistic lifestyle came into being. Speaking of her yoga instructor, she said, “When I first met Amy, my new yoga instructor, she emanated a strong sense of serenity and trustworthiness as she walked into my apartment.” Thus began Bündchen’s journey towards addressing the issues she’d been facing with long-term holistic coping strategies, and a trustworthy instructor by her side.

Bündchen continues to uphold her holistic path

Gisele Bündchen has championed holistic practices after witnessing the major changes they brought to her life. Even today, the model’s social media is strewn with images of herself engaging in various yoga postures.

Despite taking on a more holistic lifestyle, she is simultaneously juggling a comeback into the fashion world. After years of holding down the fort, while Brady pursued his NFL career, Bündchen is back to doing what she does best. And through it all, she continues to uphold the holistic practices that got her through some of the darkest times of her life.
