From Skincare to Structural Relief: A Facialist’s Journey into TMJ Therapy

In this episode, Helen chats with www.elisalune.com a sought after facialist who transitioned from years in the skincare industry to hands-on holistic facial therapy—and now specialises in helping clients release deep jaw tension through intraoral massage.

After discovering the Level 1 TMJ Massage Therapies® Online Course through the Free Your Jaw podcast, Elisa realised how many of her clients were unknowingly suffering from TMJ Dysfunction, tension headaches, and related emotional holding patterns. What began as an aesthetic journey into face sculpting and Gua Sha evolved into something much deeper.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why jaw work is the “missing link” in many facials
• How Elisa now combines aesthetic lifting with clinical jaw relief
• A powerful case study involving emotional release and migraine relief
• The rise in TMJ referrals from dentists and word-of-mouth clients
• Elisa’s favourite tools, including the Jaw Massage Ball®, facial cupping, and Gua Sha
• How she educates her clients with self-care tips and builds a trusted referral network

If you're a facialist curious about intraoral work—or someone who loves a holistic approach to jaw care—this episode will inspire and inform. Elisa’s journey is a perfect example of how expanding your skills can transform your treatments and your clients' lives.
