Melanie Stark

Hi, I'm Melanie Stark.

I create therapeutic music experiences and neurodivergent-friendly education that transform how people regulate, connect, and thrive.

The Therapeutic Lens

I'm not just a musician and educatorโ€”I'm a therapeutic practitioner who uses music, education, and ancient healing modalities to help neurodivergent minds regulate, connect, and thrive.

With 25+ years of experience working with neurodivergent learners, 8 years of Andean shamanic sound healing (icaros) training, and a Master's degree in Education, I bring a unique integration of evidence-based teaching and holistic healing to everything I do.

Whether I'm facilitating a sound bath, teaching a struggling student, or leading a sing-along at a memory care facility, my approach is always the same: create safety, support regulation, foster connection, and honor the brilliance of minds that work differently.
