What happens when music meets therapy? When a registered music therapist is involved, life changes can happen. This World Music Therapy Week, tune in for stories about the impact of music therapy. If you're just learning about music therapy, here's a warm-up:

🎶 Music therapy is evidence-based, and its body of research continues to grow.

🎹 It's provided by allied health professionals who are uniquely qualified to use music as a therapeutic intervention.

🎤 It's regulated by the Australian Music Therapy Association, a member of Allied Health Professions Australia and National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions

🎸People of all ages, abilities and backgrounds benefit from music therapy.

🥁 Music therapy is an NDIS-funded support and part of several government-funded programs.

🎺 You'll find registered music therapists in hospitals, clinics, schools, prisons, community centres and working with other allied health professionals like speech pathologists, occupationsl therapists, physiotherapists and more.

Ready to start singing from AMTA's song sheet? Visit our website to learn more about how registered music therapists change lives.

One of my favourites, Cacao and Sound, a beautiful, relaxing way to come together as a community and return to the heart space 💞
Sunday 13th April 😊 come and join us

Each cacao brew is made just hours before our ceremony, in a sacred space, with the energy of each individual in the group that is coming in mind. During the process various ingredients will be included or omitted depending on what is required. One of the two main flavours that comes through in a brew are the sweet flavour, this helps help ground and nourish your spirit, and the bitter flavour which when ingested stimulates the bitter tastes receptors on the sides of your tongue. These receptors are connected to your vagus nerve. When this nerve is stimulated it can lead to a number of positive effects like calming the nervous system and supporting digestion. There are many physical, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits to cacao and sound ceremonies, including of course the deliciousness! DM us for more info or help booking into our next ceremony, love Odonata x
