Hi All,
I have made some changes to my business structure which will be reflected on my website soon. I am offering 1:1 therapeutic one hour sessions for both young children and older adults. My background is in Social Work, Music Therapy, Yoga/Mind-Body Connection, Reiki, and Journaling/Poetry. I can work with young children who have learning difficulties or have been identified as having special needs and older adults who are recovering from strokes, experiencing debilitating illnesses, forms of dementia, etc.
I meet with the individual where they are, and work with her, him, or them, to find a way to develop deeper self-awareness, self-love and initiate, improve, or recover skills which lead to personal growth. It looks different for everyone and I guess the best part about what I can offer is that after some decades of work in the human service field, I listen and watch more than I do, and when I do, I intervene with awareness, humor, love, and a willingness to go where we need to.
With dementia, the focus is more on quality of life in the moment. Music Therapy in my humble opinion, should be mandatory with older adults who are experiencing dementia.
