Experience Music Therapy & Counselling
No previous musical training or experience necessary. No previous musical experience necessary.

Music Therapists (MTAs) are trained to provide music therapy interventions within the context of a therapeutic relationship. We use music to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains. Within the counselling relationship, we conduct assessments, develop treatment plans, implement therapeutic interventions, and evaluate progress. Music therapists also use various active and receptive intervention techniques according to the needs and preferences of the individuals with whom they work. These techniques include, but are not limited to, singing, listening to music, instrumental improvisation, composing music, and moving to music.

Understanding the roots of our pain can open doors to healing.

Sometimes, healing asks us to 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 - to look at it in the mirror, face to face, rather than continuing to push it away. This doesn’t mean we have to like what we find underneath the surface. It means creating space to understand it, name it, and meet it with compassion.

𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. It can give language to experiences that are difficult to articulate, help us name what we’re feeling, and act as a catalyst toward greater self-compassion.

Through music therapy and counselling, we can begin to 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻, not by allowing it to define us, but by becoming more curious about what it is trying to tell us.

We are here to explore that with you 🎶💛

60+ hours went into building this resource for you. So why am I giving it all away for free?

Over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed that although many people feel deeply impacted by music, very few grasp the power and potential that it holds in shifting and shaping their nervous system.

Listening to the right vibe at the right time can make or break a moment: it can be the difference between whether or not tonight’s dishes get done, or whether you’ll finish the final touches on that project looming over your head.

But taking time to tweak and tune your go-to playlists to be exactly what you need, right when you need it, isn’t really seen as worth the time in our productivity-oriented culture.

The Mindful Tune-Up Kit was created to show you otherwise.

Once you click play, you’ll be guided through the experience of noticing how music impacts you, and equipped with the scientific know-how for tuning your playlists so they actually work with you (not accidentally against you).

By the end, you’ll not only be supplied with strategies to turn your music library into a nervous system toolkit, but you’ll also learn how to access and integrate music into your self-care routines, whether it’s on your own, with a music therapist, or by finding local opportunities to make music in your community.

And so this resource was made to be free, for you, so that you can experience how music impacts you on a deeper level, and ideally, so that the power of music is more widely recognized as a standard part of public health care.

When was the last time you paid attention to the impact of music and sounds that are happening around you?

𝗜𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸.

Imagine this.

The relaxing jazz music playing in the background as you’re making dinner helps create a pleasant, enjoyable atmosphere and experience.

But, the noise of the vent fan going as the food is simmering, makes you more and more agitated. And the moment you turn it off, you take a deep breath and your body immediately relaxes.

𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰.

Choose a song, any song, and mindfully listen. It only takes 2-3 minutes.

As the music plays, notice what changes.

Follow along to learn about our FREE RESOURCE on how you can make music work better for you.

What I do instead:
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗜 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲.

I’d just click shuffle for any and every scenario, listening to the same songs, over and over again.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄:
Just because a song is already playing, it doesn’t mean that I have to continue listening to it.

If it’s overstimulating, tense, or clashing with what I need, I can hit next, pause, or just change course completely when something doesn’t feel right.

The effect of music is deeply felt, but difficult to explain.

I recently started working with to put together my upcoming course.

Through working together, I’ve been appreciating the impacts of music on me even more because I now have the words to accurately describe what was happening in my body.

There’s always a reason I turn on the music, even if I’ve never stopped to name it.

Am I trying to focus? Feel energized? Relax? Sit with a feeling?

Now, I make sure I ask myself before the music starts to make sure I will get what I want from it.

Having intention is different from just having a reason.

I can choose specific songs and the specific order, on purpose. And with it, my playlist actually meets me where I am and carries me through to somewhere different.

I’m not one to follow the trends and know all the popular songs.

I have a hard time listening to the radio and just keep skipping through until I find a ‘good’ song (if that’s the only listening option I have).

𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝗮𝗺, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲.

I believe music should work for you, not the other way around.

Make sure you’re following to receive my free course on how to achieve just that!
