We know what music therapy IS and we know what music therapy is NOT.

Advocating is a huge part of being in the music therapy profession - and let’s be real, it’s hard not to get bogged down by it at times. However, it’s nice when you’re in a place to make light of the situation. My favorite time was when someone at my hospital saw me in the elevator and thought I was an elevator musician 🤪

Keep up the good fight music therapists!

Long time, no post. I’m just not able to get back to anyone really, I’m sorry about that. I came home from St.Luke’s last Tuesday & have basically slept since. Back in St. James’s & Beaumont today & then again next week. I did 7 weeks of radiotherapy & then I’ll have to do a year more of chemo with the NRH thrown in there somewhere! Wish me luck 💪🏼

IACAT (Irish Association of Creative Arts Therapists) Iacat Ireland ensures all of their members have the appropriate qualifications to practice as creative arts therapists.
In order for a music therapist to be certified by IACAT, they must be qualified at Masters degree level.
investigation has drawn a light to the dangers of the LACK of statutory recognition in this country for councellors, psychologists, psychotherapists, and creative arts therapists.
It has been something that we have been fighting for, for a long long time.

When looking for a creative arts therapist, you can check the IACAT register on their website to ensure you find someone with the APPROPRIATE qualifications.

Happy Christmas and new year to you all and I’ll talk with each and everyone of you in the future if this earth allows Xx

I was diagnosed with another Brain tumour back in October.
I will be taking time off from work to hopefully recover from this and come back bouncing again.
