“As a former grateful client of yours, I watched the 30-minute documentary ‘Music On The Brain, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives.’ and tears filled my eyes as I saw the miracles that were occurring in the lives of people suffering from Dementia, Parkinson’s and so on. It reminded me of my first day attending your class. I walked in and, of course, there were no seats available so I had to find a seat on the floor. I was fresh into the facility and, the simple task of lowering my 36 year old body onto the floor was an excruciating task. By the end of the class however, I felt somewhat more relaxed and, although it wasn’t easier to get off the floor that day, your class certainly became an activity I looked forward to each week as it always relieved stress and pain in a physical, spiritual and emotional sense. 

“I am writing to you today to express my forever lasting thanks to you and the music therapy you so graciously shared with me. It most definitely made a very positive affect on my life. The work you do is so very important and I hope you continue to help others as you’ve helped me. I hope to someday create a platform for people in my profession as a lot of people in my profession do suffer from PTSD and other afflictions that would greatly benefit from your beautiful therapy. For now, I will continue to spread the word on a case by case basis. I wish you 100 times the peace and happiness you have helped me to achieve in life.”
