The Healers Café
Hosted by Manon Bolliger (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practi · EN
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.

From Spiritual Bypass to Deep Healing with Maggie Kelly & Manon on The Healers Café
1w ago00:43:10Tap to summarizeIn 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.

Beyond Chronic Pain: The Power of Purpose with Dr Alan Weisner & Manon on The Healers Café
2w ago00:39:01Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Healers Cafe, Manon speaks with Dr. Alan Weisser, a JD, attorney, clinical psychologist, and program developer, discussed his unique journey integrating legal, psychological, and organizational expertise to address complex mental health conditions and chronic pain. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-alan-weisser Highlights from today's episode include: Existential Immune System & Human Power – We're not designed to be powerless or just suffer; we have an "existential immune system" that's always trying to heal us if we use our thoughts and feelings correctly. Living in Inspiration – Healing doesn't mean no pain, but having purpose and inspiration (like his patient rediscovering a love of robotics) gives people a real "fighting chance" to live meaningfully despite pain. The Body Is Built to Heal – The body (and person) is inherently designed to heal; the key is to stop fighting that capacity and instead support it—physically, emotionally, and energetically ABOUT DR ALAN WEISSER: Dr. Alan Stephen Weisser, JD, PhD, is a psychologist, attorney, and program developer whose career spans more than five decades across law, behavioral health, and system-level clinical leadership. His work reflects a rare integration of legal, psychological, and organizational expertise, with a sustained focus on complex mental health conditions, chronic pain, and the development of effective, patient-centered systems of care. Dr. Weisser began his professional career in law, practicing as a trial attorney and later in private practice, specializing in real estate, business development and creation, and organizational structuring in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. His early legal work included service with the Legal Aid Society in New York, where he handled civil, consumer, and poverty law cases, as well as legal defense for underserved populations. This foundation shaped his lifelong understanding of systemic barriers, advocacy, and the structural dimensions of human suffering. Transitioning into psychology, Dr. Weisser trained and practiced in some of New York's most demanding clinical environments, including Bellevue Hospital, Maimonides Medical Center, and the Einstein/Bronx Psychiatric Center. There, he developed extensive expertise in psychological assessment, inpatient and outpatient treatment, and psychiatric rehabilitation. He played a key role in the transformation of long-term inpatient psychiatric care into community-oriented rehabilitation systems, designing programs that integrated inpatient, transitional, and outpatient services with a focus on autonomy, functional recovery, and reduced recidivism. Over the course of the 1990s and early 2000s, Dr. Weisser held multiple senior leadership roles, including Program Director, Clinical Team Leader, and ultimately Clinical Director positions within community mental health systems in Washington State. In these roles, he was responsible for large-scale clinical operations, program development, quality assurance, contract compliance, and supervision of multidisciplinary staff. His work involved the design and implementation of integrated service delivery systems, coordination across agencies and stakeholders, and the advancement of innovative approaches to behavioral health care. Since 2002, Dr. Weisser has been the Founder and Director of New Options, Inc., in Seattle, Washington, where he provides individual, group, family, and couples therapy, as well as specialized chronic pain evaluations and treatment coordination. His work emphasizes integrating psychological, behavioral, and physical health perspectives, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain and medically complex conditions. He has developed psychoeducational programs, clinical interventions, and training materials designed to empower patients and improve treatment outcomes. Dr. Weisser is also the author of New Possibilities: Unraveling the Mystery and Mastering Chronic Pain and the developer of the Mastery of Chronic Pain program, a structured, curriculum-based approach to helping individuals regain control over their lives. His work combines clinical rigor with practical application, translating complex psychological and medical concepts into accessible tools for both patients and practitioners. In addition to his clinical and programmatic work, Dr. Weisser has served as an instructor at the university level, teaching in psychology and public administration. His career reflects a consistent commitment to education, system improvement, and the integration of theory and practice. Across all phases of his work—from law to psychology to organizational leadership—Dr. Alan Stephen Weisser has focused on one central aim: developing meaningful, effective pathways for individuals and systems to move beyond limitation toward recovery, functionality, and sustained well-being. Core purpose/passion: My mission in life has been to pursue curiosity, understanding, and deep engagement with what it means to be alive and human. At the center of that journey is a desire to help others.

With a background in education, Megan emphasizes the behavioral aspects of weight loss, drawing from her own 100-pound weight loss in 2018.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/magan-gaul Highlights from today's episode include: Megan states weekends with no structure often derail weekday progress.

Stuart explains fish oil ≠ fish: Most refined fish oils are "naked," stripped of protective polyphenols, so they don't behave like real food; Balance Oil restores that missing polyphenol protection.

Meaning, Values, and Mental Health with Aaron Gilbert & Manon on The Healers Café
Apr 800:30:03Tap to summarizeAaron 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.
