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.

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.

Highlights from today's episode include:

Manon Bolliger  03:21

You can't make a change in health without making a change in education. Because the thing is, we're educated to believe that our bodies are not really so receptive to it, to healing, right? It's like we don't have it all, as if the best pharmacy was not within which it is

Dr. Lynn Anderson, ND  07:53

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.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Lisa Erickson about chakra healing, trauma recovery, and the power of energy work in self-healing.

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

 

Highlights from today's episode include:

Lisa Erickson  05:12

You can erase a memory, but that doesn't erase the neural, you know, patterns that have been written, and the energy body patterns around coping mechanisms. Because when we're dealing with trauma, we have the traumatic memory,

 

Lisa Erickson  so just removing the memory doesn't rewrite the nervous system, but maybe these vibrational methods also help do that. That, to me, is what the chakra system does

 

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.
