Guy Odishaw, RCST USA
Presentation Topics: TBA
Tracing the arc from traditional forms of medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, to Osteopathic Medicine to the emerging field of Bioelectric Medicine. The last decade has seen an awe inspiring series of discoveries in Bioelectric and Regenerative medicine. These new discoveries are turning the field of biology in its head. The need to reconsider long held beliefs are not limited to biology, the fields of psychology, sociology and philosophy have been handed new truths to grapple with as well.
What happens when the modern Western, reductionist, materialist, engineering orientation to biology suddenly discovers that “matter” is conscious, intelligent and agential? And, what are the implications of these discoveries for those of us who practice forms of Bioelectric Medicine such as Microcurrent Therapy?
Guy Odishaw’s 29 years of clinical experience specializing in traumatic brain injury, psycho-emotional trauma, and treatment resistant chronic pain informs his approach to Neurofeedback and somao-emotional therapy. Additionally his 20+ years as meditation instructor and facilitator of courses on personal growth help him understand how to support clients through the potent changes arising from Neurofeedback and neuromodulation. Brain training does not only alleviate unwanted symptoms it also positively changes ones whole sense of self and relationship to the world around them. Guy founded the Bhakti Wellness in 2006.
Ali Shambayati & Tina Abnoosi USA
Presentation Title: TBA
True innovators in Microcurrent technology, Ali and Tina are changing the world with their TAMA beauty products. They wowed us with both their compassion and drive to help people as well as their amazing grasp and depth of knowledge of microcurrent and frequency technologies.

Laura Keiles, ND MMP (LMBT) CPN USA
Presentations: TBA
Dr. Laura Keiles is an influencer of mental, digestive, and neurological health interconnectivity. The “Pain, Mind, Diet Connection” approach to health has shattered outdated paradigms and health approaches by viewing symptoms in relation to the body as a whole rather than the ailment alone.
By shedding this knowledge through training and application, the “wholism” approach has already become instrumental in the management and treatment of chronic mold, lyme, small intestinal bowel overgrowth, mental illnesses/conditions, and much more. Dr Keiles will be offering a Virtual Pre-Con on navigating the Insurance maze for FSM; as well as a Thursday Pre-Con on how to use microcurrent effectively to take your clinic to the next level.

She will also be sharing some of her success stories of her exciting practice in our Saturday Case Presentations!
