TINA FRENCH - FOUNDER OF VJUV

Tina French - Founder

Tina French’s journey from struggling with incontinence to becoming a trailblazer in holistic health is an inspiring testament to resilience and determination. The founder of VJuv, Tina turned her personal health crisis into an opportunity to help others.

As an active environmental building inspector in her 50s, Tina was a picture of health—until incontinence began to severely impact her life. Initially dismissing it as a natural part of aging, the condition quickly escalated. Simple tasks became challenging, her professional life was disrupted, and her personal relationships suffered. At her worst, Tina found herself unable to leave her home, stockpiling towels by her bedside to manage uncontrollable leakage caused by a respiratory illness.

Seeking a Better Solution

Frustrated by the invasive and often short-term options available, Tina embarked on a quest to find a better solution. Surgical procedures like colposuspension or mesh bladder slings posed risks such as pain, frequent UTIs, and prolonged recovery times. Other interventions, including urethral injections or bladder augmentation, came with undesirable side effects like incomplete bladder emptying or catheter dependency. Medications weren’t any better, with common side effects ranging from dizziness and dry mouth to more severe issues like hallucinations or increased heart rates.

Tina’s persistence paid off when she discovered articles about electromagnetic treatments. The FDA-approved therapy showed promising results in non-invasive incontinence treatment. After reaching out to the manufacturer, she became convinced of its potential.

Founding VJuv

Her personal success with electromagnetic therapy motivated Tina to establish VJuv, a holistic health business aimed at providing affordable, non-invasive incontinence solutions. Tina’s recovery not only restored her quality of life but also ignited her passion to help others regain their independence and confidence.

Today, VJuv stands as a beacon of hope for those struggling with incontinence, offering innovative solutions that prioritize effectiveness, safety, and accessibility. Tina French’s story is more than a tale of recovery—it's a call to explore better options and empower individuals to take control of their health.
