Our Mission is to provide the “Missing Link” to those who work or live with individuals impacted by stress, neurodevelopmental or learning challenges.

Our Vision is To see all of those who are impacted by stress, neurodevelopmental and learning challenges experience hope, recovery, and restoration.


The MNRI® Family Educational conference is an intensive education conference using the MNRI® processes for children and training in these MNRI® processes for the parents.  Each of the 5 days will consist of 6 hours of the MNRI® processes, plus lectures/trainings. The programs in this upcoming conference will include at least the following sessions:  Reflex Repatterning, Proprioceptive, Tactile Integration, Neuro-structural Integration, Archetype Integration, Facial, Auditory & Visual Integration. Parents will be taught the MNRI® processes and primary reflexes during the conference and evening sessions.   The intensive 6-hour days are split into 6 sessions per day; each session focusing on MNRI® techniques related to one of Dr. Masgutova’s many-core program courses. While treatment is concentrated and intense, long lunch hours and breaks between sessions help to provide some rest in within and between the busy days. Throughout the conference, parents get significant exposure to MNRI® Method techniques and receive instruction from the MNRI Specialists during each of the different MNRI® program sessions on how to carry on treatment at home. 

Post Conference Support: A home program is supplied within 2 weeks of conference completion and a full MNRI® Family Conference Report is sent within 6 to 8 weeks after the end of the conference if an assessment is choosen.

Assessments: If Dr. Masgutova is in attendance, assessments will be offered for an additional fee.

SMEI Cancellation and Refund Policy

MNRI Family Conferences are staffed by a diverse field of professionals who have been certified as Core Specialists. Many of these professionals run their own practice in addition to assisting us. As such, some conferences may have a limited number of staff.

In order to provide the best service possible for our families, we limit the ratio of Client to Specialist to 1|1.

With our desire to maintain a high level of service, cancellation of registrants may occur if there are not enough Staff. Registrants will be informed of this 10 days before the event takes place. If SMEI is forced to cancel any registrants, a full refund of the conference fees will be given. Cancellations will be offered first on a voluntary basis. If there are not enough volunteers, cancellation protocol will be enacted starting with the most recent registrants.

Full refunds will be given for registration cancellation up to 21 days prior to the conference.
A 25% administration charge will be retained for cancellation 11-20 days prior to the conference.
Cancellation within 10 days of the conference is non-refundable due to the financial commitments that the organization has made to hotels, travel expenses and salaries of Core Specialists from around the world.

We recommend that attendees who will be flying do not purchase their flight until after the 10-day window has elapsed to avoid a nonrefundable circumstance with the airline. SMEI is not liable for any ticket costs related to the course being canceled. SMEI is not liable for any costs related to transportation (airline tickets, train, taxi, etc) due to the cancellation of an event.

* A 2.5% transaction fee (processing fee) will be withheld on all refunds that were processed using credit card/PayPal. If a participant wishes the refund to be paid directly to their account via credit card/PayPal, PayPal may also charge the participant an additional 2.5% transaction fee (processing fee). Refund by check is available upon request.

For cancellation and refund requests related to health issues, family tragedy or other significant life events please contact us.
