Dr. Melissa Sonners

Dr. Melissa Sonners is a nervous system guide, brainwave educator, and author of The Connection Code (Hay House, 2026). She works with high-capacity women who look “fine” on the outside but feel overstimulated, mentally saturated, and disconnected on the inside. Women who carry a lot. Who think a lot. Who are tired of consuming more information but still feel stuck in urgency, self-doubt, or survival mode. After losing herself somewhere between motherhood, ambition, and chronic illness, Melissa rebuilt from the inside out. She discovered that healing isn’t about doing more, it's about downshifting the nervous system so clarity, connection, and self-trust can return naturally. Through simple two-minute regulation tools, brainwave education, and rhythm-based living, she helps women move from chronic overwhelm to calm authority so they can stop missing the moments that matter and start living from their true self again. Her work isn’t about fixing women. It’s about creating the internal safety required for them to return to who they came here to be.

Topic: "You Don’t Need More Information. You Need Integration: Creating Space for Connection & Reclaiming Your Original Signal" - Emotional health isn’t built by consuming more insight. Iit’s restored by creating space. In this talk, Dr. Melissa Sonners explores how chronic mental overload keeps the nervous system in high-alert states that disconnect us from clarity, connection, and grounded power. Through brainwave science, nervous system awareness, and embodied presence, you’ll learn why integration, not information is what allows real change to take root. For women, this is the shift from living in the head to reconnecting with the heart. For men, it’s the return to grounded presence that strengthens leadership and steadiness. When internal noise quiets, your original signal comes through clean clear, connected, and fully alive.

Topic: "Your Personal Wavelength"

Dr. Bernard Straile

 

Dr. Bernard Straile grew up in post-war West Germany during the Wirtschaftswunder — the miraculous economic boom of the 1960s as Germany rebuilt itself from the ruins. Much of his childhood was spent working alongside his parents: building a house, tending a large garden, cooking, and taking on extra jobs. Church provided the spiritual foundation of daily life. 

In school he had a gift for mathematics, struggled with French, and did better in English than German. His studies took him through an unlikely arc — from electronics engineering to mathematics and physics, and finally to a degree in psychology. Two things drew him to America as a young man: the Apollo program and the movie Easy Rider. He kept returning, and his diverse curiosity led him from flight instructor for fixed-wing aircraft to chiropractic medicine. 

Chiropractic fascinated him for its effectiveness with back pain and its drug-free philosophy. Working with thousands of patients over the years, he began to observe a pattern: recurrent back pain is almost always connected to inflammation elsewhere in the body — most commonly showing up as allergies. He continues to see patients in a holistic context at the Total Wellness Center in Camillus, NY. 

As resolving inflammation became his central focus, he turned to energy medicine and cellular communication as the frontier. From this work the SHOW Method was born — a system that analyses the stressors driving allergies and inflammation and works to de-stress the body at the source. Because cellular communication involves genetic expression and predisposition, he developed the IMAET System: software that scans individuals for thousands of stressors at each wellness visit.

This isn’t about perfect steps — it’s about shaking off stress, reconnecting to your body, and remembering that movement can be medicine. Just bring your hips, your smile, and a willingness to have fun.

Sol Sound 

With Mary Carey 

 

This 45 minute immersion with 432 hertz quartz crystal sound bowls while anchored to earth under the luminous sky harmonizes our liquid crystal light bodies. I like to think of sound healing as a gentle inner massage. Restoring flow and vitality to our energy grid. A slowing. A remembering of our natural, intrinsic state of being.  

 

Mary Carey has spent the last few years returning to her true nature.  She has received many certifications, read many books and listened to countless podcasts.  And if she has learned anything is that we are all in a symbiotic relationship with the world around us.  And Reciprocity with that world is the key to healing, peace and happiness.
