“The medicine of the future will be music and sound”

Edgar Cayce

In a society beset by perceptions of lack and self-doubt we stand a better chance of happiness by creating it for ourselves.

Song Therapy is a way of using the universal language of music to bring balance to the whole person. Anthems to lift us up and inspire us, potent whether or not we wrote the songs ourselves; always on our internal radio even when the batteries die on our media players.

Rewrite the script of a favourite tune with a message that resolves a traumatic issue and that message makes new pathways in the brain, changing our patterns of behaviour. 

Tackling this in a session together is much like changing the words of a pop song to amuse your mates. Same skill, different application. Taking charge of our direction when life brings stormy weather, instead of being blown off course by it.

 

SONG THERAPY

 

It’s been said that songs are ‘Time Machines’. They have a way of transporting us to moments in our past; they can give us hope for the future.

Having survived a life-threatening brain tumour and lived with epilepsy for over 30 years I have direct working knowledge of the associated isolation, trauma, cognitive and mental health issues. I specialise in person-centred support for these conditions and worked in various care sector roles for 15 years before freelancing in 2016.
