Healthcare Organizations

Everyone should have access to effective and holistic care as part of their medical treatment and preventative healthcare. We bring clinical music therapy and community wellness programs to your patients and staff through inpatient, outpatient, and community-based care.

Music therapy in the medical setting can help reduce stress/anxiety, process life changes due to a diagnosis, normalize the hospital/medical setting, and help pediatric patients continue to meet developmental milestones

Inpatient, Outpatient, and Community-Based services may be provided.

All programs are:

Accessible

There is no special talent or previous experience needed to benefit from any of our programs. We adapt experiences to meet the presenting needs of those we are working with. We’ll create an environment where people can feel comfortable listening to, discussing, and making music within a group or individual setting.

Creative

We are not here to perform for patients. We are here to engage them in evidence-based music experiences that will contribute to improved health outcomes, strengthen all areas of development, and lower stress/anxiety related to the medical setting. Engaging in active music making, listening, and other creative endeavors has countless benefits for the body and mind.

Goal-Oriented

Our programs and services are thoughtfully planned to meet the needs and identified goals of the group or individual in front of us. We'll guide participants through music and arts experiences that build community, support developmental skills, and improve mental health and wellbeing. Most often, we help patients in the medical setting reduce stress, manage pain, learn strategies for improved mental health, maintain/improve motor, speech, and cognitive skills.

Service Options Include:

Ongoing Services

Our most effective option for working on targeted goals in the outpatient or inpatient setting.

Ongoing music therapy services for inpatient and outpatient care are the most effective way to work on targeted goals. Patients will participate in a variety of music and creative arts experiences over time, including (but not limited to):

Music and experiences will be chosen based on the interests and goals of the individuals participating.
