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.

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.

As founder of The Four Element Institute and visionary behind the Growing Holistically community, Dr. W. is on a mission to inspire and educate people to think, live and heal in more natural ways. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose/mission is to bring an ancient knowldge back into our time – the Fire, Air, Water & Earth of nature. For over four thousand years the smartest and wisest of many civilizations focused on it. It continuously boggles my mind that few doctors and others are talking about them.

Exploring the Evolution of Bowen Therapy with Anne-Marie Ferguson on The Healers Caf with Manon Bolliger
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: 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. | | ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, FCAH, RBHT As a de-registered (2021) board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I’ve seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

How Does Bowen Therapy Illuminate the Connection Between Human & Soul
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: 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. | | | ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, FCAH, RBHT As a de-registered (2021) board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I’ve seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

Overcoming Betrayal and Infidelity to Rebuild Your Life - Samantha Bailey on the Healers Café
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: 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. | | | ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, FCAH, RBHT As a de-registered (2021) board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I’ve seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

Ben Calder You know, I see quite a number of people in their 60s and 70s.

They cause the most inflammation, and they're the first ones, you know, if someone is developing some sort of food sensitivity, that's usually the place I like to start. Autumn Bear So when we're looking at disease, we're really trying to figure out, where did this, you know, dysbiosis or imbalance start, and how do we really treat the root so that all the branches of that tree essentially start to heal themselves as a result of treating the root. Autumn Bear Oftentimes, patients are saying, Listen, I'm having all these things. These are happening to me, and ultimately, what they're getting is doctors that are saying, Well, I think you just have anxiety, so I want to put you on Xanax and that's so it's just frustrating and debilitating.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT, speaks with Alisha DiMasi about the connections between birth and death. They discuss the importance of community support, planning, and intentionality in both experiences.

For the transcript and full story go to: Highlights from today's episode include: Alisha DiMasi 17:54 We could be keeping our loved ones at home after they die, and we could be the ones the family washing the body, you know, which is more of a ritualistic washing, not like a scrub, a dub, dub washing, um, and having a multi day vigil. Alisha DiMasi These are hard conversations, and it's hard to say goodbye, but don't underestimate what a gift it is to plan ahead and give some information, because the people that are left behind want to do what you wanted to do, Alisha DiMasi But talking about death is very life affirming, okay? Because if we're talking about this final, this finality, what could reflect back to us more the amazing and incredible opportunity we have here today to be alive, right? ABOUT ALISHA DIMASI Alisha DiMasi, Well Within’s founder, comes to you as an occupational therapist, mother, and deeply curious human. Over her studies and career, she has worked with infants through elders in public and private schools, hospitals, and assisted livings. During Alisha’s many years in the local public and private residential schools she served students with a wide range of physical and cognitive & dis-bilities. Those years highlighted for her the importance of parent and caregiver; engagement and the power held within the home setting to support a child’s growth. Through her own mothering she witnessed the transformative capacity of coregulation. Alisha’s involvement with Threshold Care began in 2016 and gave home to a longtime interest in burials that were environmentally sound and financially accessible. Her involvement with Threshold Care nurtured an interest in holistic end of life care. It was an education to compare Threshold’s work to the end of life practices she saw in the assisted livings. In 2021, she became a board member. Through her two pregnancies and home births, Alisha became a student of Trust. It was also then she began looking in wonder at the multitude of parallels between birth and death. She continues to study the power of these portals and the rites of passage marking the space between them. Alisha’s experience as a parent has been expansive, beautiful, and grueling, often within moments of one another! Alisha holds exploration in high regard and has many interests. She loves building community connections, loves to sing, and is learning to play her first instrument- a banjolele. Alisha has lived her personal study in: physiological birthing, respectful parenting, natural motor development, the natural care of our bodies; including in acute and chronic illness; permaculture design, living with loss and grief & and the sensory integration changes that can accompany trauma, and most recently but certainly not least—Human Design. Alisha lives in Lyndeborough with her two children and husband on their small homestead. Core purpose/passion: I am a multi-passionate person and what has risen above the rest in recent years is my desire to support individuals and family systems in finding, feeling, and claiming their power during everyday interactions with themselves, their children/family, and the outside world. | | ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, FCAH, RBHT As a de-registered (2021) board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I’ve seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

Transforming Breast Cancer Awareness with a Life-Changing Self-Exam App with Jessica Baladad on the Healers Cafe & host Manon Bolliger

Transforming Breast Cancer Awareness with a Life-Changing Self-Exam App with Jessica Baladad on the Healers Cafe & host Manon Bolliger
In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks with Jessica Baladad about her journey as a breast cancer survivor, the creation of the Feel for Your Life app, and how it empowers individuals to perform self-breast exams, track changes, and navigate their health with greater confidence. For the transcript and full story go to: Highlights from today's episode include: Jessica Baladad So let's say you have a screening, and you get this pathology report back, and you're reading it, and it's like, what does this mean? I don't understand it. And you start Google things, and it doesn't make sense. So I took the guesswork out of that. Jessica Baladad 06:01 Yeah. So we even have a little term in the breast cancer community called scanxiety, where you are afraid of getting scans and exams. I mean, they're necessary, and we joke about it, but it's real that we have that fear of getting scanned, Jessica Baladad And so, you know, it's...people have a lot of different feelings about it, but ultimately, I want women to understand how their screenings work, how the pathology is done, and what they can do to empower themselves to get through that fear, because knowledge helps overcome that anxiety. ABOUT JESSICA BALADAD: Jessica Baladad, six-year cancer survivor, is the creator of Feel For Your Life, a free mobile application that provides resources on how to perform self breast exams and when to get screenings, while allowing users to track and monitor their changes and set reminders. An unexpected breast cancer diagnosis at 33 years old empowered Jessica to channel her experience into a mission that is changing the way women advocate for their medical care. It’s the first of its kind created by a breast cancer patient and has been downloaded tens of thousands of times all over the world. In 2024, Jessica implemented an AI feature into the app to help patients interpret and better understand pathology reports from their breast cancer screenings. Jessica’s history with breast cancer catalyzed her dedication to building Feel For Your Life. She’s the fourth generation on her paternal side of the family to be diagnosed with the disease, and yet, no known gene mutation has been found in her lineage. She first learned how to do a self breast exam after having a benign tumor removed at 18, and nearly 15 years later, Jessica was diagnosed with Stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma after performing a routine self exam in the shower. She underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, 24 rounds of radiation, a hysterectomy and 10-hour flap reconstruction. Since launching the app, Jessica has expanded her advocacy into healthcare reform. She has helped write legislation in the State of Tennessee to promote risk reducing measures against cancer and disease. Billed as the Feel For Your Life Act, it requires high school students to learn about self breast exams, testicular exams and skin exams. Additionally, Jessica has spoken out against insurance companies before members of Congress. She is working to eliminate quality-adjusted life-year & QALY ; scores, Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) and co-pay accumulators. Jessica plans to grow her efforts further by working with medical providers, patients and vendors to bridge the gaps that keep individuals from getting access to the care they deserve. Jessica has been featured on Good Morning America, Tank’s Good News, USA Today, The Dave Ramsey Show, UpWorthy and several national and international media outlets. She’s worked with the NFL on their Crucial Catch Campaign to promote cancer screenings, received the Hometown Hero Award from Ponce Law on Nashville’s Fox 17, has been recognized by the National Breast Cancer Foundation for her leadership initiatives and was the recipient of the Mona Lisa Foundation Grant in 2023. In 2020, the NFL’s Crucial Catch Campaign partnered with Jessica to spread awareness about the importance of screenings being missed during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. She serves as an active committee member of the Tennessee Advocate for Breast Cancer & TA4BC& group. When Jessica is not working on patient advocacy, she enjoys traveling and exploring new places, attending sporting events with her husband and photographing animals. Core purpose/passion: To help prevent breast cancer by starting checkups and screenings early. | | | | ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, FCAH, RBHT As a de-registered (2021) board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I’ve seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.
