Everyone can benefit from it. Maybe you already use music as your therapy when you choose to go out and dance, or play a particular song on your listening device.

I apply the same principle…that music helps us to feel good…with training, experience and understanding. In my groups, I help you to use music, sound and music making strategically to help you when you feel stuck, or could benefit from taking an inward look so you can gain self-understanding and self-confidence.

Your loved ones can also benefit… do you know anyone with cancer or depression, or someone in crisis or experiencing some mid-life craziness? or family members with expressive challenges because of autism, developmental delays, or Alzheimers?

I am a registered psychotherapist and certified music therapist with twenty-five years experience.

Come learn more and experience a little of what it is all about.

Cost: $10

The post Music Therapy Information Sessions – January 9 and 16 appeared first on Pamela Holm 1960-2019.

Our healing meditation and spiritual growth group offers an opportunity step back, focus on healing for yourself or others, and come together with like-minded people.

We shall use a range of techniques drawing from sound healing, music therapy and mindfulness practice, such as toning chakras, healing visualizations, prayer, singing mantras and songs, playing/listening to singing bowls. This is a good opportunity to relax, plug into your spiritual connection, support others and leave some of those worries behind.

This is an open group so you can come choose to come regularly, or come by for a single session. It is a great opportunity to come and meet me, and experience some of my work before engaging private services, or to connect with a healing and spiritually oriented group.
