An offering of words from my broken yet beating heart to yours 🖤 ✊🏼🪧🕯️

I ache and I ache and I ache and I ache and I breathe and I breathe and I breathe
and I refuse to let them take away my humanity
and I refuse to let them take away my creativity
and I refuse to let them take my compassion
and I refuse to let them take my empathy
and I refuse to let them stop my tears and I refuse to let them stop my rage
and I refuse to let them take my joy
and I ache and I ache and I ache and I ache and I love and I love and I love and I love
and I break and I breathe and I try
I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
and I feel and I feel and I feel and I feel
and I rest and I rest and I raise my fist and I march
and I refuse to let them take my hope
and I ache and I breathe and I love and I love
And I love.

Are you considering therapy in the new year? 🤔 Here are 8 reasons why 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 may be a good fit for you.

If you’re tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and like you’re never fully present or happy, it’s time to take the leap and get the support you deserve.

As a board-certified music therapist, I’ve been helping anxious adults feel calm, grounded, confident, and optimistic for 10 years. (To read client testimonials, head to www.feelcreativewellness.com or Google “Feel Creative Wellness.”)

Through my private practice (“Feel” for short), I work 1:1 with adults in-person in the San Francisco Bay Area and virtually throughout the U.S.

Feel is a safe space for deep feelers and thinkers, those who are seeking to live an authentic and creatively inspired life, and those who want to dig deep to uncover their potential.

Is that you? If so, let’s connect. 💻

I offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can decide together if music therapy may be right for you.

Make 2024 the year you decided to take back your story—to reclaim joy and confidence and ease. Therapy is an investment in yourself, and you deserve the best. ✨ 🤍

“What’s happening in your body right now?

⬆️ I ask my clients this question 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵.

A common response: “Body? What body?”😬

If that’s you too, it’s okay. 🤍

I was disconnected from my own body for a long time. Why?

Partly because my body was in pain.
Partly because I’d experienced medical trauma and lived in fear of “the next thing.”
But a HUGE part of it was because I was locked in my own head a lot 🧠—like Rapunzel in her tower but not nearly as endearing. 👑 🏰 💅🏻

Once I started to reconnect + restore trust with my body, I felt a lot less anxious and overwhelmed. I felt integrated. Grounded.

Wanna try a practice I teach my clients? ⬇️

1. Find stillness. (Whatever is accessible + comfortable to you. I often lie directly on the floor or on a sturdy bench. 📷)

2. Become aware of your breathing. Notice how effortlessly it comes into and out of your body.

3. Notice the parts of your body that have contact with another surface. (E.g. the ground, a bench, a bed, the earth.)

4. Notice what it feels like just to be aware that you *have* a body. (A lot of us rush through the days and are so preoccupied with our thoughts that we forget we even have one!)

5. Do a body scan. Bring awareness to different parts of your body starting with the top of your head and travel down to your feet. If you notice areas of discomfort or tension, simply breathe into them and then move through the area. Try to refrain from judging any sensations as “good” or “bad.” Instead, think: “I notice a sensation here,” and then let it go.

6. Conclude with gratitude. How often do you thank your body for the incredible processes that happen without you even having to think about them? It’s easy to focus on what feels out of whack. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Intentional gratitude is a mindset shift that can help you restore trust with your body and begin to see it as your ally.
