36 - The Face as a Healing Map: Facial Reflexology with Jackie Van Ruler

A Facial Awakening
Joanne opens the episode by sharing how facial reflexology, discovered during her sauna sessions at the height of the pandemic, became a powerful part of her wellness practice. Her guest, Jackie Van Ruler, takes us back to the beginning—how she left a 20-year nursing career and stumbled upon facial reflexology through a random book search and a gut feeling she couldn’t ignore. That intuitive pull led her from a tiny class in a coffee shop to a lifelong mission to share this transformative healing modality.

Beauty Meets Body Wisdom
Jackie explains how facial reflexology taps into the autonomic nervous system, using precise points on the face to restore balance, improve health, and shift emotional states. Listeners will hear how this gentle technique has helped people stop gallbladder attacks, heal chronic pain, and even reduce their use of Botox—all while creating visible changes like glowing skin and brighter eyes. The conversation dives into the emotional layers too, exploring how anger, grief, and repressed energy show up on the face and how releasing tension can offer deep emotional relief.

Tools, Tips, and Transformation
Joanne and Jackie discuss the magic behind the stainless steel detector—lovingly dubbed the “magic wand”—and how it activates healing through microcurrents and awareness. Jackie offers simple ways for beginners to get started without needing to memorize maps or protocols, and shares powerful success stories from both clients and students. If you’re curious about learning more or want to try it yourself, Jackie’s YouTube videos, classes, and Instagram are an open door to this healing art that truly begins with trusting your inner sense.
