Experience Music Therapy & Counselling
No previous musical training or experience necessary. No previous musical experience necessary.

Music Therapists (MTAs) are trained to provide music therapy interventions within the context of a therapeutic relationship. We use music to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains. Within the counselling relationship, we conduct assessments, develop treatment plans, implement therapeutic interventions, and evaluate progress. Music therapists also use various active and receptive intervention techniques according to the needs and preferences of the individuals with whom they work. These techniques include, but are not limited to, singing, listening to music, instrumental improvisation, composing music, and moving to music.

Think about the different sounds that affect you. Are there sounds that make you feel stressed or overwhelmed? Are there sounds that make you feel calm and at ease?

Your nervous system is always listening. 👂🧠
Sound is one of the fastest ways your body decides, am I safe, or do I need to brace?

Harsh, unpredictable, or loud noises can push the nervous system into fight-or-flight — even if you don’t consciously feel “stressed.”

Gentle, rhythmic, familiar sounds can signal safety, helping your body settle into rest and regulation.

When you start noticing which sounds dysregulate you and which ones soothe you, you gain a powerful tool for nervous system support. Stressful sounds and calming sounds may be different for each individual.
✨ Small shifts in your sound environment can create big shifts in how your body feels.

What sounds make your nervous system feel comfortable? Let us know in the comments!

Sometimes the hardest step is the first one - reaching out.

Sometimes it’s a friend, a family member, a stranger, or a therapist.

In music therapy and counselling, that moment of connection can be the beginning of being heard, held, and understood. You don’t have to carry it alone. 🎶💛

Happy 2026 everyone! Jumping on this trend - 2016 was a big year and 2026 will be another big year!

In 2016,
✅ I finished my music therapy internship working with children with dual diagnoses
✅I moved to Calgary from Toronto
✅I started my first job as a certified music therapist
✅I told myself that I would never run my own practice...🫣

Now, in 2026,
✅We will be celebrating four(!!) years of building a private practice
✅We are operating with two other music and counselling therapists
✅We are offering music therapy and counselling for meaningful change
✅I am feeling grateful that I took this step!

Looking forward to what's to come~

“Music speaks to the soul. As music therapists, we are translators — we take the sound and help it become healing.” - Deforia Lane

Your body often holds what your mind hasn’t had time or space to process. Tension, restlessness, heaviness, or fatigue can all be ways your nervous system communicates. Music therapy and counselling creates a safe space to gently unpack what’s been stored - without pressure to have the “right words.” 🎶💛

“We remember those who died, not for war, but for a world that could be at peace” - Chaplain Steven Cochrane

This year, we acknowledge the 80th anniversary of the end of World World II, 25 years since the entombment of the Unknown Soldier at the Canadian War Museum, and the 110th anniversary of the publishing of In Flanders’ Fields by John McCrae.

We honour those who served and continue to serve as well as their families, who may carry the impacts and complexities of trauma and loss. You are not alone.

Your mental health matters, today and everyday. 💙

Just like music, our mental health moves in rhythms - some days are calm and steady, other days are fast or a little off-beat. Caring for your mental health means learning to LISTEN, to your body, your breath, and your needs. It isn't selfish, it's essential~

Here are some ways to care for your mental health:
🎶Mindfully listening to your favourite songs
💨Slowing down to breathe
🧘‍♀️Tuning in to the present moment
🙋‍♀️Reaching out for support
🚫Setting a boundary
🌎Asking yourself, what do you need to feel grounded?

If you want to explore something a little deeper, speak with one of our therapists today. You deserve it.
