Highlights from today's episode include:

Dr. Howard Walsdorf As little as we walk today, we put this soft stuff there to even insulate us even further from drawing that earth principle, as I call it, or forced energy that makes that earth element within us, our bones and our sturdiness quotient, less effective.

Dr. Howard Walsdorf But let me say this is that the fascia is a connective tissue, and so from a muscular skeletal system, way of perspective is water, is your ligaments and your connective tissue. From another perspective, in this holistic schematics, these patterns, these principles, keep finding places to show up.

Manon Bolliger 22:56

so if you have the right posture, breathing is a non issue, right? We don't think about it anyways. But if you're in the right posture, it's, it's, I would say, even more automatic, but it goes deeper, right?

ABOUT DR. HOWARD WALSDORF:

Dr. Howard Walsdorf is a veteran holistic chiropractic and natural healer, author, speaker, and expert in the ancient wisdom of the four elements and natural living. His latest book, Fire, Air, Water & Earth: Apply an Ancient Wisdom to Your Life; aims to revitalize modern society by introducing a compelling new holistic paradigm for healthier living and healing, integrating the principles embodied by the four elements: fire, air, water and earth.

Core purpose/passion: My core purpose/mission is to bring an ancient knowldge back into our time – the Fire, Air, Water & Earth of nature.

it's like we may have aspirations and dreams and they gave us a direction, but at any moment in time where we're still agents of our own destiny, we can still say, wait a minute, now that I really know what it feels like, it's not quite right for me, right and shift it.

Maria Maldonado Smith 08:19

The three questions are, what do I want? Yeah, it's interesting, because a lot of people don't, can't even answer that question for sure. You ask them, What do you want? I don't know. I don't know. The second one is, who do you want to become?

Maria Maldonado Smith I also think that there's something beautiful in abandoning goals that no longer work for us.

Breaking Free Healing Trauma Stress Through Somatic Breathing with Judy Koons on The Healers Caf with Manon Bolliger 0

Mar 27, 2025

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Judy Koons about her holistic approach to healing, the Freedom Process, and how somatic breathing techniques help release trauma, stress, and physical tension to restore the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/judy-koons

Highlights from today's episode include:

Judy Koons Tension is accumulation. Tension is the meaning that's been given to the events that have happened in your life, whether big or small on an ongoing basis, and so if you can find the tension in your body, then you're not going to get caught in a mental loop, and you can get that energy moving

Judy Koons imagine that you actually love going for a hike every single day. You have a beautiful trail just out back, but all that accumulation, it's like rocks, and you have a big old backpack in your on your body, and you've put hundreds of pounds of rocks in that backpack, how easy is it going to be to get out there and do that hike every day?

Manon Bolliger 15:32

it's like you're not dealing with thoughts, with further thoughts. You're basically saying, where's the stuckness in my body? The assumption is it comes from the stories and the added stuff, and then through the breath, through meditation, through presence, I guess all of those things, you're expanding the space,

ABOUT JUDY KOONS:

Judy has been supporting individuals in coming back to true health mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually for decades. You’ll find her using the Freedom Process with individuals choosing to end the war within and returning to the magic of life. She brings new energy, simplicity, and clarity to some of the tougher concepts out there. If you are ready for greater mastery of self and to live life by design then she is ready to show up and point you in an amazing direction. https://daur.co

Core purpose/passion: Core purpose is to help as many individuals as possible come out of struggle and suffering without having to use willpower. Creating space, the accumulation falls away and the true-ness of self is revealed and available to show up. The undoing of the spellbinding is something only we can do and I am here to guide those interested.

You make money off them being sick. You know, that's how society makes money. And yet, you know, it's just so simple to come back to eating, you know, really healthy foods and taking care of yourself and exercising. It again, we come back to that same thing. It's just common sense.

Dr. Lynn Anderson, ND 16:56

Well, it is, and it comes back to trusting yourself when you trust your choices, your decisions, when you trust your inner self and you're grounded that intuition does open up more. You know, and we've all experienced it, and then you kind of, it's like, look at the facts and then pull back and trust that you know the right direction to take.

Manon Bolliger 18:54

Yeah, and then it's like, it's conscious, because you're also consciously doing this. So you're reprogramming, in a sense, by acknowledging the self care part, you know? I mean, it may be unconscious what's happening, but still having the I'm doing this, you know, or I'm allowing receiving this.

Exploring the Evolution of Bowen Therapy with Anne-Marie Ferguson on The Healers Caf with Manon Bolliger 0

Feb 26, 2025

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Anne-Marie's about her journey with Bowen therapy, the different practitioners and techniques she has explored, and the evolution of the modality.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/anne-marie-ferguson

Highlights from today's episode include:

Anne-Marie Ferguson 07:50 I believe that the way we think about our health affects our healing, even the belief that we will get better.

Manon Bolliger 09:37 at Bowen College, what I do is I teach not psychology, but I teach how to LISTEN to your body, which means you know, also observing your thoughts and how they interfere or not you know,

Anne-Marie Ferguson I asked her if I could use add the Bowen therapy technique, and she told me she'd always had hip pain, and I was able to see that the problem stemmed from the TMJ, so I made a few changes there, and around three weeks later, I got a Message from her saying her the pain that she had for years disappeared.

ABOUT:

I was introduced to Bowen therapy at a wedding rehearsal in 2013 on the Gold Coast in Queensland when we lived there for a couple years. I began a workshop with Robyn Wood who was an instructor with Bowtech. I continued on to receive my diploma and attended many courses trying to understand how this modality worked. I had some great outcomes. My husband and I have worked as missionaries in Mexico for many years. We work with the Tepehuan group. My husband is fluent in their language and so we are often traveling to visit family or churches so have lived very unsettled for a number of years with our 4 children who are now adults. Bowen therapy courses have introduced me to many other therapists who are curious about what works, what doesn’t. I began hearing about the Emmett technique and in 2015 i believe I took my first course with Ross Emmett in Seattle and then began attending several workshops amazed at the releases that we all experienced. In 2017 my husband and I thought we would finish our work in missions so we moved to Abbotsford for just a year when he found a better job back in Melbourne through connections and we moved back to Australia again in. 2018. I studied a one year remedial massage program and worked in a spa. I was also offered a job with a naturopath and would work from home as well. We were there until October 2021 when we lost our jobs due to the craziness of Covid. We then sensed we should volunteer back in Mexico and make ourselves useful. We returned to Chihuahua to train Latins to reach out to their own people and in August of this year we have returned to Canadá for another period and are looking at how we will continue the work in Mexico. Throughout all the moving I always have opportunities to practice Bowen informally.

Core purpose/passion: My mission as a Bowen therapist is to provide a therapy that is valuable and creates a change. Something should always change as a result of the session. The client should either experience reduced pain, less inflammation, more range of movement, a feeling of lightness perhaps or balance.

How Does Bowen Therapy Illuminate the Connection Between Human & Soul 0

Feb 19, 2025

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Russell Sturgess, about healing with Bowen through the soul.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/russell-sturgess2

Highlights from today's episode include:

Russell Sturgess that's where our suffering happens, we're actually looking for in wealth and power, in love in success, we're looking for our happiness outside of ourselves, which is bizarre, because our intrinsic self is happiness. Our sole being is that it's in here, it's not out there. And then, once you understand and have grasped the whole notion that our happiness is within

Russell Sturgess They're having a painful experience. So, what happens is we turn up and we apply this technique, and we try to fix people, and this is going to be one of the hardest things for me to get across to anybody is that you're not fixing anybody. All you're doing is opening windows of opportunity. This is what a Bowen therapist does.

Manon Bolliger 19:30 when you're in connection with another person on the table, we know mechanically some of the impacts that you know that Bowen triggers, like the piezoelectric effect or all of that we know that there's you know, a frequency

ABOUT:

From his teens, Russell demonstrated an understanding of agape (unconditional love) that defied his age. His upbringing saw him channel his passion into complementary health, as well as religion. Russell now serves as a spiritual director, using the path of the Beatitudes as a way to help people sustainably remember to be kind to themselves, to others and to the planet.

Healing is listening, which is being aware. Ignorance, avoidance and our attachments void our capacity to be aware, resulting in suffering.

Russell specializes in a combination of Bowen Therapy (his interpretation called Fascial Kinetics), Osteopathic Massage, and Reflexology. He brings almost 50 years of healing experience to what he offers.

Highlights from today's episode include:

Dr. Romi Fung, ND 10:10

Good point and good question right there. There's a number of factors. And the first thing is how do we absorb the ferritin.

Dr. Romi Fung, ND 12:38

Well, that's digestion again, right there. When you do have your digestion that's impeded. This is what we call gut permeability, or leaky gut.

Manon Bolliger 18:22

I was thinking digestion is so key too, you know, inflammation to oxygenation. Now, elimination, what pathways need to be functioning really well for that?

Can Soulful Practices Help Us Heal and Build Inclusive Communities? – Dori Baker on The Healers Café 0

Feb 5, 2025

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT, speaks with Dori Baker about how soulful practices can foster resilience, inclusivity, and mental well-being, while addressing the importance of community, diverse traditions, and daily acts of connection to combat anxiety, depression, and social injustices.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dori-barker

Highlights from today's episode include:

Dori Baker I like to use the word soulful practices instead of spiritual practices, because spiritual has been so maligned and has so been misused, and that we have such a history of mostly men using their spiritual power and leadership in ways that violate people. But soulfulness is something I think we can all resonate with.

Dori Baker I like to say the bridges are broken between these practices and the traditions or the places, the institutions that once stewarded them. My friends, where the bridges aren't just broken. Somebody has poured gas and lit a match. You know, the bridges are gone.

Manon Bolliger And it's like going back into really who we are, our sovereign beings, that we are. And this is where all the power is, is recognizing that. So when you brought up, you know, imposter syndrome, it's like imposter to what we're not even trying to be, something else, just be, be who you are,

Manon Bolliger 13:25

I lost my mom a couple of years ago, and she really did exactly...she died exactly how she wanted to. And, I mean, we had it down to even the obituary. She wanted to write it so it would say exactly what she wanted it, you know.

Yvonne Caputo 20:10

Kamini Wood 03:33

The way that I define the authentic self is the part of it's, first of all, it's a capital S self, and it's the self that is aligned with your core values, your core needs, and a true, compassionate understanding of those things and what your beliefs are about self.

Manon Bolliger 14:40

I think eggshell was just because I understood the trauma that another person lived. It made me feel compassionate. But therefore I thought, well, this is not the battle worth fighting. This is not the stance worth making so you're constantly negotiating your right to be you.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/tzara-attwater

Highlights from today's episode include:

Tzara Attwater 09:01

what the anxious person needs to understand, is to be comfortable enough with space. And so that distance between another person, there's this fear of rejection occurring, and so there needs to be this closure, whether it's physical, mental, emotional, there's this desire to close this space.

Tzara Attwater

We become too stuck and too focused on all the things that we haven't done, all the things that we haven't achieved, or, you know, the mistakes that we've made. You know, there's a supposition in NLP that says there are no, there are no failures, but there are only learnings, right?

Manon Bolliger 33:43

when you're in an empowered state, you are the creator of your reality, right? Which means that you have control. It doesn't mean everything works out the way you thought it should. But if you're actually participating in it with consciousness and responsibility

Janet’s message resonates with anyone looking to take charge of their health at any age. She believes that by building strength—physically and mentally—we set the foundation for a life filled with purpose, energy, and independence.

Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to redefine aging by empowering people to build strength, resilience, and confidence through fitness. I’m passionate about showing others—especially those in their later years—that aging can be a time of vitality, growth, and joy. Through strength training, wellness coaching, and speaking, I inspire individuals to see themselves as capable, regardless of age. My mission is to shift the narrative around aging from decline to opportunity, helping people embrace proactive wellness habits that support a life filled with independence, purpose, and physical and mental well-being.

Correct. Yeah. And that's, that's a lot of what I teach is about like learning to understand what your intuition even feels like. Because we've been so classically trained and mind warped and brainwashed to believe that our intuition is wrong, because it usually takes us outside of the norm, right? It takes us away from the pack.

Jana Stern 09:37

Sure, yeah. I think in order to stand up and stand in your truth. Whatever your truth is, it does...it requires a level of resilience. It requires a level of trust in yourself and willingness to go against the grain, like you were saying earlier, swim upstream no matter what.

Manon Bolliger 23:20

I created Bowen College, I teach a natural pain elimination method, and we, we definitely work with, you know, trauma, mind, body, spirit. It's not a physical therapy, only the way you go through the body, which I think is really amazing. And a lot of people...

Overcoming Betrayal and Infidelity to Rebuild Your Life - Samantha Bailey on the Healers Café 0

Dec 12, 2024

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT, speaks with Samantha Bailey about navigating the journey of healing after betrayal, embracing forgiveness, and finding purpose through resilience.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/samantha-bailey

Highlights from today's episode include:

Samantha Bailey you know, he was so amazing to me and treated me wonderful. And when I started my healing journey, I realized that there were many signs. But when you trust someone completely, you don't, you're not looking for anything, so you take them at their word

Samantha Bailey It was like someone threw a grenade into my heart and it exploded, and the enemy was my husband, who, again, was supposed to be there to protect me and love me and that wasn't the case.

Manon Bolliger 11:58

So, it really is about acknowledging what happened and moving forward. I mean, not avoiding the feelings that you would go through, but not kind of roasting in them, basically.

ABOUT SAMANTHA BAILEY:

Born and raised in Canada, I moved to Texas in the early 90s, making it my permanent home. As a mother of six and grandmother of four, my life has been centered around nurturing and supporting others, a theme that carried into my professional life. I thrived in roles that allowed me to make a positive impact on people, focusing on empathy, understanding, and service.

However, my world was turned upside down when I uncovered traumatic truths about my marriage. Learning of my husband’s hidden world—sugar babies, escorts, and numerous affairs—left me feeling shattered, lost, and utterly alone. In that darkness, I found myself in need of the very support I had always offered others. Journaling became my refuge, a place to pour out my pain and begin to heal. This journey ultimately led to the creation of my book, Deceptive Liaisons, written as a survival guide for anyone experiencing similar struggles, hoping to bring them solace and strength.

I am also currently training to become a Certified PBT Coach &#40;Post Betrayal Transformation&#41; to deepen my understanding and enhance my ability to help others. Betrayal trauma, whether in personal relationships, friendships, or family, can feel overwhelming and isolating. I am passionate about guiding others through the process, offering them the tools, support, and hope they need to heal.

In my book, I offer insights on crucial first steps after betrayal, focusing on self-care and emotional safety. I also cover common mistakes that can hinder healing, sharing guidance to avoid actions that might prolong the pain. Having survived betrayal myself, I believe in the power of resilience, and my mission is to help others not just survive, but rebuild and ultimately thrive.

Core purpose/passion: My mission is to empower those who have faced betrayal and trauma by sharing my own journey of healing and resilience. Through my story, I hope to offer guidance and support for anyone navigating their darkest moments, helping them find the strength to rebuild their lives and emerge stronger. I’m dedicated to fostering a community of understanding and courage, reminding each person that no matter how broken they may feel, they have the power to rise and thrive. Transformation is possible, and my goal is to inspire others to reclaim their lives with renewed strength and purpose.

Ben Calder They would have a logic, okay, if we've got a mind component, do we need to do anything with the mind? If we've got a body and behavior component, do we need to do something with that? And that might have included diet and nutrition.

Ben Calder You know, I see quite a number of people in their 60s and 70s. And almost the number one thing that they will tell me is that the doctor has told them that they can expect it because of their age. And at that point, I want to slap that doctor and just say, No, that's not true.

Ben Calder You know, give yourself a decade to master a level of Qigong, and it's not a quick fix, and you may not even feel it in the first 2,3,4 sessions. You know, the Chinese would traditionally say 100 days of practice to start feeling your chi and then the rest of your life to master it.
