MIYA Creative Care

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 are so proud to highlight Jon, one of our dedicated music therapists, as he facilitates a group session in long-term care.

Jon integrates technology into music therapy in innovative ways — making improvisation and music-making more accessible and engaging for residents. By bringing in new tools and approaches, he empowers older adults to explore creativity, self-expression, and connection, proving that it’s never too late to learn something new.

This is the heart of our work at MIYA Creative Care: supporting residents in long-term care to discover joy, purpose, and connection through the creative arts.
