The Healers Café

Hi, it's Manon Bolliger (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) and I want to welcome you to the Healers Cafe. I am so excited to be doing this series of interviews and what I'll be doing is, is asking all kinds of healthcare practitioners, doctors, healers of all types, to really share with all of you their experience, why they became healers, what called them what they think about this being a healer thing. Is it, a thing? Who's really healing in this, what they've experienced from their their interaction with clients and patients and what the takeaways and understanding of what the process of healing is all about and the process of life. So that's the essence of what I'm doing. I'm hoping that this will serve also for patients that have issues and are looking for different ways of approaching it. * De-Registered, revoked & retired after 30+ years of practice.

Highlights from today's episode include:

Jana Stern  07:59

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...

Highlights from today's episode include:

 

Dr. Deb Muth  09:20

Instead of us talking about disease, let's talk to the client about what it is they want to have success in and in that area, then it allows the naturopath to open up all the different tools that they have in their toolbox to help them reach that

 

Manon Bolliger  09:56

we're always focused on the pain or the symptom, rather than the reason you want to have no pain, you know? And when you focus people on the reason, it changes

 

 

Dr. Deb Muth  26:43

But I've never seen somebody heal who can't heal their spiritual or mental health, but they can heal their physical side. They're always stuck in that Limbo if they can't feel heal their body as a whole. And I think that's what's so

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 (Post Betrayal Transformation) 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.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT, speaks with Dr. Sam Shay about his journey from undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome to becoming a functional medicine expert, the importance of understanding neurodiversity, and how personalized genetics and lab testing can improve resilience, energy, and brain health.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-sam-shay2    

Highlights from today's episode include:

Dr. Sam Shay  there may be parents listening here that have neuro diverse children, neurodistinct children, and these are kids that have trouble with social in some combination of any or all the following, problems with social engagements.

Manon Bolliger  it's typically, if you really get down to the roots of helping, you know, parents with emotional disorders and, you know, unresolved back pain, a lot of it comes down to lifestyle choices they make

Dr. Sam Shay  my desire is to make sure that parents understand one what neurodiversity is, what neurodistinction is in their children, so that there can be better strategies and connections and different approaches to help your child not only thrive, but connect and integrate with the whole family better and better.

 

ABOUT DR SAM SHAY:
