Safe in Sound Music Therapy, LLC

Safe in Sound Music Therapy, LLC Providing Music Therapy services to the Lee & Ogle County IL areas.

Kearsti-Rae (K-Rae) Knowles, is a Board-Certified Music Therapist with 10 years of Autism experience, including those with high sensory and emotional/behavioral needs. She also has experience in the application of music in the areas of memory, attention, motor control, emotions, perception, executive function, and language. K-Rae pulls from 10 years knowledge of the IEP process in Illinois, including goal development and implementation, data collection and reporting, 3 year eligibility evaluation/re-evaluation, and interdisciplinary collaboration and treatment. She has co-treated with certified occupational therapists/COTAs, social workers, speech-language pathologists, special educators (LBS1), behavior specialists (BCBA, BCaBA, and RBT), massage therapists (BCLMT), registered nurses (RN), and certified nursing assistants (CNA). With 3+ years of experience working in hospice care, K-Rae knows that the end of a loved one’s life is a trying time. Using research-based strategies, she works to apply music techniques to ease pain, reduce reliance on medications, lessen anxiety/agitation/restlessness, improve socialization, address anticipatory grief, prepare legacy projects, and overall help to create a respectful, calm, and loving environment for a Good Death. K-Rae obtained her undergraduate degree from Illinois State University (Normal, IL), her board certification from the Certification Board for Music Therapists (certification number 11834), and her Masters Degree in Music Therapy from Alverno College (Milwaukee, WI).

A quiet moment of connection… sometimes music is the one thing that cuts through the chaos of dysregulation and allows our little friends to co-regulate (today, with the calm and attentive Ms. .the.intern ). It’s so important to meet our clients where they are and use the music to help them regulate and feel good.
