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 collaborati

on. 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.

For nearly a decade, our passion has been integrating creative arts therapies into health and wellness, especially for aging adults and those living with a dementia diagnosis.

As Certified Music Therapists, Art Therapists and Dance Therapists we have seen firsthand the power of creative engagement, but I wanted to bring that engagement to our care partners even when our Creative Arts Therapists can't be there in-person!

That's why we've designed The Creative Care Club, a membership app for your care home with ready-to-use creative program plans (music, art, movement!) and expert tips.

It's all about empowering professionals like you to refresh your programming and deepen connections with aging adults in your care homes.

We're currently seeking a limited number of trial partners to experience the Club absolutely free for three months, with a special discounted rate afterward.

Hear from one of our fantastic Music Therapists, Jacob DeRose on his work with our valued Care Partner, Reconnect Community Health Services!

----
It has been such a privilege facilitating music therapy at Reconnect Health services this year. We have a wonderful group of people joining us on a regular basis and the group is steadily growing!

Reconnect Health services is an organization that services seniors, caregivers and people living with mental health and addiction concerns. Music therapy is an optional therapy available within the treatment plan of our group members, which can be requested amongst a variety of creative arts therapies, including art and drama therapy.

So far we have explored quite the variety of music therapy interventions and music-based activities, including music-assisted meditation, music listening and drawing, songwriting, music improvisation, song sharing and lyric analysis, with plenty of discussion to process and reflect on our experiences. We have also recorded original music created as a group during our sessions, which acts as a lovely memento for participants to listen to when reflecting on their therapeutic progress and journey through life.

It is a joy to witness participants express themselves creatively and deepen their connection with the other group members as we become more familiar and comfortable with one another.

I am looking forward to continuing working with the group!

Did you know that engaging in art-making can actively reduce your stress? Studies show that creating art can lower cortisol levels – your body's primary stress hormone 🎨

This powerful benefit speaks to the profound impact of creative arts on our overall well-being.

At MIYA Creative Care, we believe in integrating these impactful experiences into care. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just exploring, taking time for creative expression can be a vital tool for stress reduction and promoting a sense of calm.

Joy, connection, and music across generations!
One of our amazingly talented music therapists, Tiffany, is pictured here facilitating Little Tunes Together—our intergenerational music program that brings together aging adults in retirement and long-term care with children from local daycares, elementary, and middle schools.

These moments remind us of the incredible connection that happens when generations meet through music!

Did you know?
Music can reach parts of the brain that other forms of communication can’t. Rhythm and singing help people with dementia access language, even when speech becomes difficult.

At MIYA Creative Care, we see this unfold every day.
Music therapy isn’t just meaningful—it’s essential.
