Heather Vandenberghe, the founder and CEO behind the wellness brand Flexpower, has truly achieved the ultimate remedy for feeling good through botanical-infused pain-relief products that go beyond topical application and into improving everyday life. Over the last few years, Vandenberghe has been at the helm of the fitness and wellness industry, as Flexpower has been the best-kept secret to pain relief for over 1000 professional sports teams and athletes, including the NBA, NFL, U.S. women's soccer team, and U.S. Olympic team.
It has become Vandenberghe's mission to improve overall well-being and reveal that feeling good is a true necessity. Vandenberghe has evolved Flexpower from the original Warm Pain Relief Lotion into a dynamic range of soothing lotions, luxurious bath salts, lip balm, and an upcoming line of moisturizing mineral sunscreens with carefully selected ingredients. She has been able to secure Flexpower product placement in top luxury retailers, spas, and resorts, ultimately redefining what pain relief and recovery look like in a modern world.
Yet before Vandenberghe was at the forefront of the wellness industry, she actually spent the majority of her career in fashion, holding highly esteemed jobs spearheading marketing teams at major companies like Bebe, Louis Vuitton, and Tommy Hilfiger. When a pivotal life moment occurred, Vandenberghe began to rethink her career. Listen to the latest episode of Second Life to hear how Vandenberghe navigated her career change and how she plans to keep positively impacting the wellness industry.
