How Music Therapy Supports Healing in Oncology Care
Facing a cancer diagnosis can bring immense emotional and physical challenges. Not only for patients, but also for their families and care teams. In oncology care, music therapy offers a unique, evidence-based approach to support healing, comfort, and resilience throughout the journey.

What is Music Therapy in Oncology?
Music therapy in oncology can include listening to or creating music, songwriting, guided relaxation with music, and more; all tailored to each person’s preferences and needs.

Benefits of Music Therapy for Cancer Patients:
Emotional Support: Music provides a safe space for expressing feelings, reducing anxiety, and finding moments of hope and joy.

Pain and Symptom Management:
Research shows that music therapy can help ease pain by distracting pain receptors, reduce nausea, and promote relaxation during treatment.

Connection and Empowerment: Creating or sharing music together fosters a sense of connection: with oneself, loved ones, and the care team; helping to reduce feelings of isolation.

Quality of Life: Music therapy supports overall well-being, offering comfort and meaningful experiences even during the toughest times.

Music is often the last thing memory forgets. For individuals living with dementia, familiar melodies can unlock long-forgotten moments, offering a bridge to the past when words and faces may fade.

These musical connections don’t just bring comfort and joy to those with memory loss, they also provide meaningful moments of connection and hope for families and caregivers; reminding us that the power of music can reach where other forms of communication cannot.

Question of the day: Who in your life introduced you to your favorite music?

Trauma comes in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes it’s a single event that shakes us to our core, and other times it’s a collection of smaller hurts that quietly build up over time. No matter the size or source, every experience deserves compassion and healing.

At Mewsic Moves, we believe music is a safe, nurturing space for processing all kinds of trauma. Through music therapy, individuals and families can express emotions that words can’t always capture. Whether it’s drumming out frustration, singing through sadness, or simply listening and letting the music hold your story, the process is gentle, supportive, and deeply personal.

Music therapy isn’t just for “big” traumas, it’s for the everyday struggles, the small heartbreaks, and everything in between. Additionally, music therapy is completely client-led and full of client preferred music! Our sessions are designed to meet you right where you are, honoring your pace and your journey.

Together, we use rhythm, melody, and connection to help release pain, build resilience, and rediscover joy.

You are not alone, and your healing matters. If you or someone you love could use a safe space to process, we’re here to walk (and sing, and drum, and play) alongside you, every step of the way.

Adolescence can be a tough journey, especially for those struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns.

At Mewsic Moves, we offer a safe, welcoming space where teens can express themselves and discover new strengths through music.

Music therapy can help teens:
🎶 Share emotions that are hard to put into words
🎶Relieve stress and find comfort during difficult times
🎶Build confidence and a sense of accomplishment
🎶Connect with others and feel less alone
🎶Learn healthy ways to cope with life’s challenges

Each session is led by a compassionate, board-certified music therapist who tailors activities to each teen’s needs and interests whether that’s drumming, songwriting, or simply listening together.

If you know a teen who’s struggling, remember: No one is alone. We’re here to support them on their journey.

Music therapists are part of a bigger care team: including social workers, doctors, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and more. We believe collaboration is key to truly holistic support.

Here’s how we work together:
Shared goals: Every professional brings unique skills, but we unite around what matters most for each client.

Open communication: We meet regularly and openly communicate so everyone’s on the same page.

Complementary care: Music therapy can support motor skills, emotional regulation, and communication, while other specialists focus on their areas of expertise. Together, we create a richer, more effective plan.

Whole-person focus: By teaming up, we address not just symptoms, but the whole person: supporting emotional, social, cognitive, and physical wellbeing.

When families and individuals have a coordinated team behind them, they experience more seamless care and better outcomes. For neurodivergent families and those with complex needs, this can be transformative.

Research shows that choir and group music-making improves posture, muscle tension, and build real social bonds. Group singing even helps the brain rewire and heal, especially powerful for those with neurologic conditions. When people hear "choir" they often associate the word with hymns or traditional pieces; however, mainstream music has become more common in choral repertoire.

At Mewsic Moves, we offer a glee choir that meets weekly and focuses on boosting self-esteem, social skills, and building friendships through music. Curious to learn more? Send us a DM! We'd be more than happy to answer any questions. 🎶

At Mewsic Moves, our music therapists blend science with heart, creating safe spaces for every client’s unique journey. Curious how music therapy could help you or someone you love? We offer a free 15 minute consultation and our DMs are always open to any questions 🎶

Did you know that something as simple as humming can have a profound effect on your mind and body? Neuroscience tells us that humming isn’t just a soothing habit, it’s a powerful tool for self-regulation and connection.

When we hum, we activate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in calming our nervous system. This gentle stimulation helps lower stress, slow the heart rate, and promote a sense of safety and wellbeing. For individuals who are neurodivergent, especially those with autism or sensory sensitivities, humming can be a grounding practice that brings comfort and focus.

Next time you need a moment of calm, try humming a favorite tune. Notice how your body feels, and let the gentle sound guide you back to yourself.
