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.

  • Breath, Mudra, and the Healing Walk with Dr Yun Kim, Dr Jacques MoraMarco & Manon on The Healers Café

    Breath, Mudra, and the Healing Walk with Dr Yun Kim, Dr Jacques MoraMarco & Manon on The Healers Café
    Jun 18 2026
    In this episode of The Healers Cafe, Manon speaks with Dr. Yun Kim and Dr. Jacques MoraMarco discussed their new book, "Walking Your Way to Vitality," which integrates walking, breath work, and mindfulness. They emphasized the importance of mindful walking, which involves coordinating steps with dynamic breathing and using a specific mudra to enhance focus. The book includes QR codes and drone footage to demonstrate techniques. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/drs-kim-moramarco Highlights from today's episode include: Dr. Yun Kim explains mindful walking as a way to "check in" to the body—using breath, movement, and mudra to anchor awareness in the present. Dr. Jacques MoraMarco talks about 5,000–7,000+ steps and about 30 minutes of walking daily can significantly reduce risk of major diseases and improve longevity. Manon Bolliger states simple rituals (conscious walking, bedtime routines, putting phones away) help the body understand you "mean business" about healing and sleep.

  • From Spiritual Bypass to Deep Healing with Maggie Kelly & Manon on The Healers Café

    From Spiritual Bypass to Deep Healing with Maggie Kelly & Manon on The Healers Café
    Jun 10 2026
    In this episode of The Healers Cafe, Manon speaks with Maggie Kelly, a spiritual counselor and shamanic energy medicine healer, discussing her transformative journey, sparked by her youngest child's cystic fibrosis diagnosis at age 30. Initially coping with stress through drinking, she turned to meditation, which led her to become a Chopra Center meditation teacher and open Satsang House. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/maggie-kelly Highlights from today's episode include: Maggie explains addiction is about pain, not the substance – the real issue isn't alcohol, shopping, or porn, but the unhealed pain underneath. Maggie speaks about spiritual bypassing – even meditation and spirituality can become another way to avoid feeling and processing trauma. Manon explains Limited bandwidth & dropping blame – as parents we have only so much capacity; the real growth comes when adult children move from blaming to learning from their experience. ABOUT MAGGIE KELLY: We never grow unless or until we are challenged. Most come to Satsang House in the midst of one of life's challenges or while at a turning point in their lives. Intuitively, I believe they already know they are ready for change or some sort of an upgrade to their current circumstances and life. I have created Satsang House Meditation and Spiritual Center around my own healing journey. Over the past three decades, I've spent time studying under meditation experts, Eckhart Tolle, Alberto Villoldo and the Inkan Shamans of the Andes. Most recently I've been immersing myself with the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza which has become the perfect compliment to the way I teach and practice meditation as well as to the energy healing side of my work. I have been extremely blessed to marry my personal experiences into my life's work at Satsang House as a Meditation Teacher, Energy Healer, Spiritual Counselor and Life Coach. Core purpose/passion: My mission is to help people all over the world cultivate emotional well-being, increase their capacity to love and care for others, and participate in the creation of a more interconnected and compassionate world.
