In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Mike who emphasized the importance of accurate pain assessment and the potential impact of psychological factors like placebo effect. Tony's injury from swimming surprisingly reduced his chronic pain, suggesting a link between acute and chronic pain management. Mike suggested alternative pain-inducing activities to potentially aid healing.

Highlights from today's episode include:
Mike and the importance of honest feedback from clients—encouraging them to report truthfully even when a technique doesn't work, as this helps practitioners refine and improve their healing methods.
Mike explains the shift from using the term "suppress" to "neutralize" or "cancel out" energy signatures, to better describe his pain reduction technique and avoid negative connotations.
Manon explains the need for thorough, transparent assessment and follow-up of pain intensity and frequency, so practitioners and clients have accurate benchmarks to measure healing progress.
ABOUT MIKE SENTENTIA:
I'm Mike. After studying and practicing energy healing 20+ years, I've developed a unique system of energy healing, specifically designed for chronic pain conditions.
I'm truly so grateful for every client who's placed their faith in me and who I've been able to help get back to doing what they love most over the past two decades. They're the reason I do this work!
In addition to being an energy healer for chronic pain, I'm also a science geek and love reading research. My books cover holistic care techniques that actually work, and the evidence behind them.
Core purpose/passion: The mission of Healing Lab is to see Energy Healing integrated into mainstream medical practice and to see it covered by insurance in the same way that acupuncture is becoming. We know there is modern science behind energy healing even if we don't fully understand all the mechanisms yet.
