Somatic Music Therapy
Let music & imagery guide you home to yourself.
In-person in Waterbury, Vermont and Online across Maryland & Vermont
Music Therapy isn’t about your performance. It’s about your process.
Music and sound reach far beyond the limitations of your thinking mind, speaking the language of your body and emotions. It creates a direct bridge between what you think and what you feel.
For intuitive creatives, highly sensitive people, and trauma survivors, music is one of the fastest ways back to yourself.
In talk therapy you’re asked to…
Reflect on experiences of the past
Challenge or reframe unhelpful belief patterns
Build coping strategies to sit in uncomfortable emotion
Describe and understand your responses
Take information discovered in session and apply it to your life
In somatic music therapy we…
Experience your emotions and sensations in real time
Allow your relationship with music to reveal your truth
Move through discomfort, giving you the know how to replicate again outside session
Help you recall and access internally held resources (creativity, curiosity, compassion, confidence, etc.)
Release embodied trauma and build inner spaces of worthiness
Let me paint a picture for you
We start by slowing down. Breathing. Tuning in. Noticing what’s happening inside- anxiety, a racing mind, that familiar sinking feeling in your stomach.
We don’t rush to make it disappear. We get curious about what’s underneath it: the memories, beliefs, sensations, and unmet needs battling for your attention.
Then you choose a song from your own playlist. One that will guide you where you need to go.
After a brief induction, I step back and let your music take the lead. Imagery, memories, colors, shapes, and sensations surface. You might bring them to life with movement, pastels, or other art materials, allowing your subconscious to communicate in a language beyond words.
There’s no perfect and no “right” way to experience it or draw it. The music holds the space. You listen inward, follow what emerges, and begin to reconnect with the parts of yourself that need to be heard.
