Music Therapy
Individual or Group Sessions using the support of music to develop, improve, and promote changes in social, communication, emotional, cognitive, motor, psychosocial, and musical areas. Sessions are adapted to your needs. Assessments, treatment plans, and reports are a part of this service and will be provided upon request.
Adapted Music Lessons
With an understanding that everyone has different learning styles, customized lessons are created to help you learn the way that fits you best. The repertoire and teaching methods are adapted to suit your interests and pace. Neurodiverse and neurotypical students are welcome. Games, props, sensory breaks, and other creative options can be included. Adapted piano, guitar, and ukulele lessons are available. Please ask about other instruments as well.
Guided Imagery & Music
The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is a music-centred therapy involving inner exploration and awareness. Through listening to carefully selected pieces of music and the guidance of a trained GIM therapist, you are offered the opportunity to engage in a journey of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual integration. GIM is one of the five international models of music therapy and requires advanced clinical training.
Music Classes
Invite me into your daycare for music and movement classes for children. Experience the joy of making live music together through singing, dancing, and playing instruments.
Counselling
You are invited to enter a safe space where breathing, mindfullness, movement, yoga, play therapy techniques, guided imagery, music therapy, and the expressive arts are used to help you find what you are seeking. At times, words are powerful enough to express your needs. At other times, they are not. Sometimes sitting and speaking to a counsellor is sufficient. Sometimes walking, moving, and expressing yourself through non-verbal means is a better fit.
Arts-based, body-based, and trauma-informed approaches are available to help you begin your inner journey to find resources to manage and cope with your present life. Contact me for more information.
Music Therapy Internship Opportunities
Available for students enrolled in a post-secondary music therapy program. Please contact me for more information.
