MIYA Creative Care

Miya Creative Care partners with health organizations in Ontario to integrate Creative Arts Therapies

Miya Music Therapy provides clinical music therapy to individuals of all ages and abilities. The overall goal is to improve client’s quality of life through creative and empowering music therapy interventions. We always begin with assessment sessions wherein a careplan is developed to best meet each client’s unique needs. Relationships with our clients are based on respect, dignity and collaboration. We abide by the ethical principles set out in the Canadian Association for Music Therapy. By building strong partnerships within the community, we aim to bring services to those who can benefit from integrating music therapy into their care. Community partnerships include those with long-term care facilities, group homes, retirement homes, assisted living facilities, hospices, rehabilitation centres, mental health centres, schools and therapy centres. We also work with families to help bring music therapy to their loved ones in the comfort of their home. Miya Music Therapy aims to create more public awareness on the benefits of music therapy. We hope that by doing this, more people will have access to these services and benefit from working with an accredited music therapist.

We have so many wonderful moments to recap and share with you from our 10 Year Anniversary & Creative Arts Therapies in Dementia Care Symposium this past weekend at .

However, we wanted to start with some of these truly incredible close-up shots taken by .ca

These photos so beautifully capture the essence of a day filled with purpose and passion!

Each attendee brought such a wonderful energy to the room - and we are so grateful!

Gathering with so many dedicated professionals, cherished care partners, inspiring speakers, and supportive friends and family was most definitely a highlight. The atmosphere was incredibly special. You could really feel a collective commitment to transforming care, emphasizing the power of creative arts to realize the full potential and dignity of individuals living with dementia.

From the therapeutic techniques explored in the workshops to the moving performance by our choir, and the deeply personal caregiver experiences shared, the day was a powerful demonstration of how creativity, connection, and compassion form the true foundation of well-being.

I cannot thank everyone enough who helped make this celebratory day come to life and who pulled through even with the unexpected snowfall!

I feel incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by colleagues who not only do such meaningful work but who I am also privileged to count as dear friends.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the MCC family over the past ten years. Your dedication has made this journey worthwhile! I am so excited to see what the next decade brings!
