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. Now resourceful & resolved to share with you all the tools to take care of your health & vitality!

Highlights from today's episode include:

 Dona Airey (06:39):

There are a few things. One is terminology. I mean, in the mental health fields everything has a label. Everything has a description. Everything has a diagnosis that is very limiting and I found that what about the body and what about how the body affects our emotions? And I thought, and what about, what about ,when you have a thought and all of a sudden you have a stomach ache, what do people think that they don't even address that with conventional mental health

Dr Manon (11:25):

And neuro transmitters are made in the gut, or 70% of them anyway. So if we're, if our gut is in dysbiosis, it can't create, the neurotransmitters that we need in a healthy way.So it's definitely a cycle where the body is intimately involved in all of our States, not just fear and not just anxiety, but wellness, all our happy hormones, everything.

 

Dr Manon (15:27):

And even when you look at the, the evolution of the fascia, which was the saran wrap bubble wrap , but when you had an operation, you just took it out and discarded it without understanding how complex it is and how it's really our living matrix that puts everything together that signals, you know, biological, physiological signals, as well, as chemical signals for all our neurons and neuro-transmitters to work. I mean, it has free nerve endings, which impact us and how we hold trauma in ourselves and our body in our actual body, not just as a thought So I've learned more from experience and then later found out that's true.

Dona Airey (16:51):

One thing I want to mention before that is there's a process called brain spotting. And I think that's a good explanation sort of, of what happens also in that in the limbic system is where we house our memories and trauma. And so if, if something happens as a child, let's say, and or any age, and we don't deal with it. And so I can encapsulate it in that limbic system, not moving, not doing anything. And the process of brain spotting is to get the eyes to wherever we look in our eyes reaches a different spot in the, in the limbic system. And so what we do is we find the spot to look at dealing with a certain issue or trauma or something.

 

 

About Dona Airey:

With an MA in Psychology and MA in Early Childhood I taught in Early Childhood Programs, Started a Montessori School. 

I followed my path to becoming a Psychotherapist by getting my MSSW in Clinical Social Work which I did for 32 years until right now.  I I also was certified in CranioSacral Therapy and Jin Shin Do Accupressure.  I practiced Body Therapy for  15 years in conjunction with Clinical Social Work Private Practice.

I am passionate about helping people connect to their emotions.  In my 40 years of working with a milieu of people with many difficulties and pain, I noticed that maybe 95% of the people I have worked with had some kind of adverse response to emotions.  Either, they were afraid of them, tried to control them, hide them, ignore them, over or under reacted to them.  My belief is that we function as a whole when each: mind, body and spirit are developed and functioning.  The emotions are part of our physical body and yet many people are not aware of the elements of them.  My mission is to facilitate and teach people to befriend and utilize emotions to be integrated with their body and spirit.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Dr. Manon Bolliger, ND, chats with Dr Matt Lyon, Chiropractor, acupuncture practitioner and a teacher of meditation

 

Listen to the full story today! https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-matt-lyon2

 

Highlights from today's episode include:  

Dr Matt (05:33):

I've Noticed a qualitative shift. I'm so curious what you think, how you feel.... I've noticed a qualitative shift in people's nervous systems, We're more on alert, more on guard, more, in that flexor reflex, afferent fight or flight sympathetic overdrive, you know, nor epinephrin fuelled fear state, we are just kind of..... In this, this ocean of fear and that's changed, you know, that's been an issue

Dr Matt (08:18):

i feel one of the big issues in our society is that people are sort of cutting down from here, like talking heads already disembodied......being disembodied and then asking people to wear masks and then believing or expecting that we're going to become more. Heart-Centered. I mean, that's a big leap.

Dr Matt (11:39):

I mean, no disrespect to any chiropractors who are watching this, but chiropractors who solely focused on pain or, Hey, nice to see, mrs. Jones, crack, crack, crack, pop, pop, pop, see you later. Those are the guys that are really struggling and they're struggling for a few reasons.

Dr Matt (14:54):

I've seen the situations where people are just really struggling. And then I've seen this situation where people are really thriving and the more holistic and the more emotionally attuned people are and the better communicators there are. And they have effective systems that actually work with the whole person they're doing really well.

Dr Manon (17:10):

The board standing up for for chiropractors saying, this is essential. We were as naturopathic doctors, also considered essential, but here's the kicker. We were not allowed to talk about the immune system. We were not allowed to say our truth.

Dr Matt (28:25):

The vast majority of people in the United States either don't have access to that, or don't have economic access to that. And so we look at communities that are disproportionately affected, whereas a major conversation about how many dollars you have to buy foods that are healthy. And when it's Kraft macaroni and cheese and processed grains and processed meats and Sugar Sugar Sugar huge amounts of obesity, hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes prediabetes, all of these predisposing conditions where you've got loads of cytokines, loads of inflammation, loads of emotional stress in the community because people in survival and all of a sudden now damn, and that's to say that wealthy people aren't affected, but it's, it's different. It's very different.

Highlights from today's episode include:

Dr Manon (07:02):

I think what most people don't realize about the whole fertility issue is that if you're in constant stress mode, your body just doesn't function as well as it should ,or your hormones don't kick in, your whole body doesn't work as well as it should. So I love what you're saying. And I think it's the same problem in general, about this single approach to body parts that is so typical of conventional medicine.

Pantea Kalhor  (12:33):

So if there's a blocker, it means something in your body is not right and you need to resolve it. And it's not only you and your specialist. You have to do it in yourself because no matter which, especially as you go, if you don't believe it, you don't feel that you deserve it is not going to happen to you. You go from this one to another one desperately and nothing gonna change inside.

Dr Manon (15:31):

So I do a therapy that's called Bowen therapy. And I've had clients that have tried many, many things and it hasn't worked, I agree psychology and its understanding is very important, but I have found that some.. Structural and this sounds very strange because I've not had it. I have not really had any other medical professionals saying, yes, that's the case. I have also not researched this further, but I have many, many, many clients that after doing the work, putting their whole body in parasympathetic and making sure that their vertebral column is freed especially their tailbone and their TMJ that is properly aligned, then they will become pregnant.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Dr. Manon Bolliger, ND, chats with NaRon Tillman is the Director of Urban Yogis, Director of Inner Knowledge, Pastor of One Ministries, host of Walk In Victory Podcast.

Listen to the full story today! https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/naron-tillman

Highlights from today's episode include:

Naron (06:13):
then I started on a powerful entrepreneurialship. And by the time I was 24, I became a minister and getting into ministry was different. It was different because then I started to lose myself. I didn't know who I was as a man and I was preaching, but I still never really could find a balance of being a minister and being a husband and being all the other things that came along with it. And I felt like that I had, I felt as if I had to do something. So I was always attempting to find people to heal or to save the world. Right.


Naron (08:27):
I'm 44, 20 years of ministry. My views have changed from then to now drastically. And it was all part of the healing process. And it's funny because what I've learned is that healing is a lifetime journey, right? So the process of healing is we're always, we always find ourselves needing to go through those processes again, on some level, whether it's gone back to devotion, personal devotion or prayer, whether it's which I got into some years ago, which is going to transition, yoga and meditation and then coupling those things. So I got into yoga and I got into meditation. Growing up, I was taught that we shouldn't meditate. I was taught that we, that we shouldn't do these things, but I had a back problem. And I walked into this thing and I was running and like ran too long.

Dr Manon (14:38):
I think you pointed out really well, how we, we live in a society that tends to separate the spirit from the body, from our thoughts and emotions. And when you start to integrate all of this, you start to realize that that also your pains and your beliefs that you're old, or you can't move, are actually just beliefs, you can really start to feel it and that as you heal your physical body, some of the emotions that you have stored release, and that also deals with like your spirituality, we're all one connected. We just live in this delusion.......
