Music Therapy Wellness Clinic Launch

At the end of December 2015 I said farewell to a job I had loved & devoted myself to for the past 5 years. Working as a music therapist in a busy paediatric hospital taught me a great deal about who I am as a therapist & how important my own values are to my practice.

It was a complete privilege to be able to support young patients & their families though some of the most challenging moments of their lives,  

and I was lucky to learn so much from them along the way. But with every large organisation, no matter how brilliant, comes a barrage of red tape, politics & challenging dynamics. This is to be expected, and we navigate it as best we can as clinicians in the workplace because we love the work we do & the colleagues we share it with.

There came a point for me, however, where I really had to reflect on how this impacted my practice as a music therapist whose primary desire was to help support the client & their family with their wellness needs. This reflexive process revealed to me that it was time to go out on a limb to find a way to provide the type of service that matched my own values.

What better way to achieve this than to start my own business...!

I have been working so hard the past couple of months to develop this business in the highest quality way I possibly could. It has taken hours upon hours of research, time, commitment, hair-pulling & passion to get to this point and I'm so happy to be able to launch the Music Therapy Wellness Clinic in Brighton, Melbourne. Thank you to everyone who has shared their wisdom, visited the site, liked our Facebook page & spread the word. What an incredible community of people! I'm excited to share this year ahead with you all.
