Dr. Melanie Smith
With Live Faculty Q&A and 3 Integration Sessions Starts
Monday, March 27, 2023
Upregulate your autonomic nervous system by combining energy medicine practices, sound healing, and Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques to tap into the power of your all-important vagus nerve — to boost your immunity, reduce stress and anxiety, and activate powerful self-healing.
You’ve learned enough to know how important the vagus nerve is to the health of body, mind, and soul...
... yet need more guidance to take full advantage of the vagus nerve’s profound impact on your organ systems — and your physical, mental, and emotional wellness.
The good news is that Dr. Melanie Smith, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, has distilled all the latest science around the vagus nerve, the most effective energy medicine exercises, and the best ancient healing systems into one powerful package that harnesses the inner workings of your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to uplevel every aspect of your health.
When you feel safe and at peace, living in a harmonious state, your parasympathetic nervous system offers an energetic sigh of relief that flows throughout your entire being as a fusion of calm, clarity, compassion, and connectedness that positively fuels your body systems.
It’s at the heart of radiant health and a beautiful life.
That’s why we’re willing to invest so much in places and practices that restore that feeling of joyful peace and abundance.
When you can establish that sense of inner harmony as an unshakeable baseline, it serves as a powerful antidote and protection against the physical, mental, emotional — and even environmental — factors that trigger a sense of threat or danger.
The chaos in the daily news too often triggers cascades of fear and uncertainty — while thrusting you into stressful states of survival-mode and unhealthy biofeedback loops instead of the peace and wellbeing that you seek.
That’s why it’s so vital to work with your vagus nerve, which stretches from your brainstem to your colon as a mega-processor of the signals received by your brain, heart, lungs, liver, and gut. These signals determine your sense of safety — and therefore your health.
It basically regulates your core sense of wellbeing. And when you establish a higher baseline, EVERY part of your life benefits.
During this transformative 12-week advanced course with Dr. Melanie, you’ll be taken to the latest frontiers of your understanding on how your vagus nerve can be rejuvenated and recalibrated to the health-empowering state of physical, mental, and emotional safety.
As you continue working with the healing power of your vagus nerve and your body’s own energy systems, the communication pathways that help your pineal, pituitary, and hypothalamus glands reduce stress can open once again.
This restores balance within your body systems, increases circulation, and boosts your immunity and vibration... heightening your body’s innate ability to self-heal.
As one of the most influential energy medicine teachers of our time, Dr. Melanie will guide you through a healing fusion of meditations and practical exercises that restore vagal tone; clear environmental, emotional, and mental toxins; and generate joy, gratitude, and unconditional love — the radiant energies that purify and elevate your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
You’ll discover the triggers that deplete your energy, health... and ability to thrive, self-heal, and recognize new possibilities.
You’ll also apply energy medicine, sound healing, and Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques to reset the way your body responds to stress and trauma — and rebuild the neurological gateways to empowered health that get shut down during prolonged stress.
Your gut microbiome will once again be able to create healthy neurotransmitters that work to prevent chronic inflammatory conditions and disease...
... for greater vitality and longevity, clearer connection with your intuition, and a stronger ability to metabolize or digest anything that life throws your way.
Dr. Melanie will also lead three integration classes (one after every three modules) to deepen your grasp of the knowledge and techniques you learn... and provide ample Q&A time to build on these concepts and share ideas.
Are you ready to augment the restorative power of your vagus nerve and your body’s aptitude for self-healing?
Join Dr. Melanie on this comprehensive 12-week journey to rejuvenate and recalibrate your vagus nerve by harnessing powerful energetic tools to optimize your health and wellbeing.

It travels through the major organs and can be the transportation highway for viruses of many types including SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), Epstein-Barr virus, the herpes family of viruses, and associations with multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, sepsis, Lyme disease, lupus, and more.
The vagus nerve sends a signal to your body that it needs to rest when it detects a peripheral infection. This signal of fatigue is pathologically exaggerated when an infection is localized along the vagus nerve pathway.

“Finding Energy Medicine and The Shift Network and Dr. Melanie has been a lifesaver and a miracle I’m grateful for every day...”
I’m healing myself from a mystery autoimmune condition called CIRS. It’s a biotoxin illness, and I’m constantly breathing in toxins. This makes healing slow, and Western medicine offers no known treatment or cure. The journey has been a bit hopeless at times. Finding Energy Medicine and The Shift Network and Dr. Melanie has been a lifesaver and a miracle I’ve been grateful for every day since starting the course. The benefits have been incredible and numerous. My sharing of what I’ve learned has helped my family, friends, and fur babies. I’ve experienced many shifts, fewer symptoms, symptoms occurring less often, and the ability to stop them quickly when they occur. But the evidence is in my blood tests. On one test with a normal range of 0 to 2900, mine was 59,870. It dropped to 10,000, then to 5500. No medication — only Energy Medicine protocols! Infinite gratitude, Dr. Melanie and The Shift Network, for my healing, my family’s healing, and my pets’ healings, and all the future healings to come!
— Andrea, California

Dr. Melanie has carefully, skillfully, and thoughtfully crafted the teaching of energy medicine and taken it to a new level. Having taken most of Dr. Melanie’s energy mastery courses, I can honestly say that each one is better than the last; in fact, I won’t hesitate to take the same course more than one time to absorb all the rich material. At the end of a workshop, one feels so empowered, so revitalized, so grateful, and so cared for that there is only anticipation for the next one. Having taught many workshops myself for over 40 years, both as an attorney (teaching other lawyers, judges, and juries) and as an energy medicine practitioner, I have only the highest praise and utmost respect for the gift of Dr. Melanie’s teaching.
— Karen L. Semmelman, JD, Eden Energy Medicine Advanced Practitioner
“[Dr. Melanie's] work has created a shift in my anxiety, depression, and fatigue...”
[Dr. Melanie] is a great teacher: thorough, knowledgeable, and engaging. She took difficult concepts and broke them down into manageable, usable information that changed my life. I learned so much in these classes, I sought her out for personal care. When I started seeing Dr. Melanie in 2014, she put me back together as I was struggling with divorce, chronic health conditions, physical and emotional exhaustion, and all of my systems being overwhelmed. Her work kept me going so I could juggle parenting, starting a new business, and all the things life was throwing at me. She restored my balance and strengthened my physical and emotional wellbeing. Now she is part of my regular health maintenance and I feel great! Her work has created a shift in my anxiety, depression, and fatigue — and has reinforced my focus on self-care and balance. She has profoundly impacted my life.
— April Boykin, LMHC

Q: What’s a virtual course?
A: It’s a great way to engage live and pre-recorded teachings and each other from the comfort of your home! All you need is a computer, mobile device, or telephone. If there’s more than one person in your household taking the course, you’ll each need your own connection. We use Zoom video conferencing to make it just like an in-person event, where you can ask questions and deepen your exploration of the course themes.
There’s no additional charge for connecting to Zoom with your computer or mobile device. Please note that dialing Zoom from your telephone is a toll call; your telephone service provider will charge you according to your existing long-distance calling plan. International access numbers are available.
“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate. I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
