  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Hi, it's Dr Manon Bolliger, ND 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.

    Meaning, Values, and Mental Health with Aaron Gilbert & Manon on The Healers Café

    Aaron Gilbert, with 25 years of experience in mental health, founded Boston Evening Therapy Associates to serve clients during off-work hours. The practice, now with 40 therapists, offers a supportive environment freeing therapists from administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on clinical work.  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/aaron-gilbert     Highlights from today's episode include:  Meaning over happiness: True fulfillment comes from living in line with your values and mission, not just chasing "happiness." Small acts, big meaning: Even tiny, everyday interactions (like how you greet the person who serves your coffee) can become powerful expressions of who you choose to be. Value the mundane now: If we don't learn to see meaning in everyday, "boring" work, we may feel lost or empty later—like some retirees who suddenly miss the jobs they once disliked. ABOUT AARON GILBERT: Aaron Gilbert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. He is the founder of Boston Evening Therapy Associates and the creator of the Purpose-Acceptance-Clarity model, a structured framework designed to help individuals live with greater meaning, self-acceptance, and psychological clarity. Aaron's approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and influenced by cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology. He believes that good therapy is not simply about symptom relief, but about identifying destructive patterns of thought and behavior, building reliable skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change. Before entering the mental health profession, Aaron worked in business, fundraising, and real estate. Though socially successful, he felt a deeper calling toward work with intrinsic value and direct human impact. His own experiences with internal criticism and mood struggles deepened his understanding of how destructive thought patterns operate and strengthened his commitment to helping others quiet their inner critic. Aaron works primarily with high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship struggles, and issues of purpose. He views relationships as an inside game and emphasizes deep listening, curiosity, and trust as the foundation of effective therapy. In addition to psychotherapy, Aaron offers a global single-session coaching experience focused on clarifying life purpose, strengthening self-acceptance, and cutting through mental noise to restore clarity. Core purpose/passion: My mission is to help people return to their center. I am passionate about helping thoughtful, high-functioning adults clarify their purpose, accept themselves fully, and live constructively even in the presence of difficult emotions. I believe human flourishing comes not from constant happiness, but from satisfaction rooted in meaning, courage, and authentic self-understanding.

  3. Healing Frequencies for Chronic Pain with Dayna Wylder Manon on The Healers Cafe

    MAR 25

    Healing Frequencies for Chronic Pain with Dayna Wylder Manon on The Healers Cafe

    In this episode of The Healers Cafe Manon speaks with Dayna Wylder and Tony discuss a healing process involving energy work and the use of a matrix carrier frequency to enliven the body. The conversation includes a detailed description of how energy is directed through the body, focusing on the lungs, kidneys, spleen, and abdomen, and the importance of breathing and intention. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dayna-wilder3      Highlights from today's episode include:  Pain, safety, and healing field: Dayna guides Tony into a unified field of harmony where the body feels safe, protected, and supported, allowing the nervous system to calm and free up energy to heal ([0:01:20]–[0:03:31]). Layers of healing and the mind's role: Dayna explains how early-life experiences stored in the subconscious and our focus on pain can trap us in a loop, but that uncovering root causes and working in layers can move us "to the other side" of chronic pain ([0:15:31]–[0:16:40]). Old pain, old story: Manon highlights that Tony is "not typically a worrier at all," suggesting his pain and spleen–worry connection may reflect an old experience or pattern finally ready to clear after many years ([0:14:53]–[0:15:31]). ABOUT DAYNA WYLDER: Dayna Wylder is an energy healing practitioner, author, and guide devoted to helping people reconnect with their bodies and rediscover their innate capacity for healing. After years of living in a state of disconnection shaped by trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis — a moment that became not an ending, but an awakening. Unwilling to accept a life defined solely by symptoms or limitations, she began a deep exploration into the mind–body connection, subtle energy, and ancient healing systems. Through this journey, she discovered the profound wisdom of the five koshas — the layers of the human experience described in yogic philosophy — and began to understand that true healing must occur not just in the physical body, but across the energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of being. Her work now blends modern neuroscience, frequency and sound healing, somatic awareness, and biofield tuning with Eastern and Western wisdom traditions. She draws inspiration from pioneers in the fields of longevity, nervous system regulation, and consciousness studies, while grounding her approach in lived experience, intuition, and compassion. Dayna is the author of an upcoming book - Unlearn Dis-ease Relearn Well-being - that shares both her deeply personal story and the practical, integrative tools she used to change her relationship with her body and her diagnosis. Her message is not about "fixing" what is broken, but about restoring communication between the body, mind, and soul. Through private sessions, group sound baths, healing circles, and online teachings, she empowers others to shift from fear into curiosity, from resistance into listening, and from survival into wholeness. Her work is an invitation: to soften, to reconnect, and to awaken the healer within. Core purpose/passion: I am here to offer hope and shift what people believe is possible. My work moves beyond treating illness and into restoring alignment between body, mind, and spirit. Through energy medicine, sound, and conscious living, I support those who feel sick or disconnected in reconnecting with their natural intelligence. Aligned living then becomes the path not just to healing, but to preventing future suffering and expanding human potential. This is not about fixing what's broken — it's about remembering what has always been whole.

  6. From Brain Injury to Brushstrokes with Cheri Carandanis Manon on The Healers Cafe

    FEB 25

    From Brain Injury to Brushstrokes with Cheri Carandanis Manon on The Healers Cafe

    Cheri Carandanis, an abstract painter and former Air Force critical care nurse, shared her journey from pre-med studies to nursing, driven by her desire to balance career and family. She transitioned to the military, specializing in ICU and CCAT teams, and served in Afghanistan post-9/11. After separating from the military, she pursued hospice nursing and earned a master's degree in nursing. In 2019, she suffered two brain injuries, leading to cognitive and vestibular issues, forcing her to retire her nursing license. Through functional neurology and alternative therapies, she recovered significantly, emphasizing the importance of creativity and mindfulness in healing. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/cheri-carandanis  Highlights from today's episode include:  When I paint, I don't have a brain injury." – Abstract art and flow state became a powerful part of her neurological and emotional healing after two brain injuries. "If you've seen one healing, you've seen one healing." – Every healing journey is unique, and creativity, intuition, and somatic work can open paths that conventional medicine alone often can't. "Nothing's really broken; it's just not communicating how it should." – The body often needs a reset, not a label, and approaches like Bowen and other body-centered work help "reboot" the nervous system so healing can happen.   ABOUT CHERI CARANDANIS: Cheri Carandanis is an abstract painter, mixed media artist, and former Air Force Critical Care nurse who knows a thing or two about surviving what she never saw coming. After a traumatic brain injury ended her 25-year nursing career, she turned to art…not as a hobby, but as a lifeline. Now based in Portland, Oregon, Cheri creates raw, emotionally layered work that invites connection and contemplation. Her paintings don't try to explain everything—instead, they hold space for what's been broken, unraveled, and rebuilt. Through texture, color, and bold mark-making, she explores themes of healing, resilience, and the beauty that often shows up after the fall. Her story is one of reinvention, grit, and choosing creativity when everything else falls away. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to create space for truth, the kind that lives in the body, not just the story. I'm passionate about art as a place where people can slow down, feel what they've been avoiding, and come back to themselves without being fixed or explained. I care about honest healing, not performative healing, and about beauty that holds weight, not escape. My work invites presence, courage, and staying with what's real.

    Calming the Nervous System to Heal Pain with Amanda Harris Manon on The Healers Caf

    Amanda Harris, a movement specialist, discusses her unique approach to pain management, focusing on correcting faulty movement patterns and calming the nervous system.    For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/amanda-harris2    Highlights from today's episode include:  Amanda says chronic pain is often a nervous-system problem; calming fight-or-flight is key before new movement can heal pain.

About

Hi, it's Dr Manon Bolliger, ND 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.
