Our team loves gathering once a month for professional development! It’s crucial to our team culture and also to consistently pursue learning and honing new skills. Special thanks to our incredibly talented Destiny Boyum for leading our team in a guitar skills workshop last week!

Sometimes the best move as a leader is to pause, step back, and connect with others on the same journey. Earlier this month, our CEO, Christina Wood, had the opportunity to gather with fellow music therapy business owners and entrepreneurs—sharing ideas, brainstorming solutions, and encouraging each other to keep dreaming big for our teams and the work we do. 🎶🌟🎶 Collaboration fuels clarity, and community inspires growth 💙

🎶 Music does more than make kids smile — it helps them grow.

From building language and motor skills to expressing emotions and boosting confidence, music therapy meets kids right where they are. 💬🧠💓

If your child could use extra support — developmentally, emotionally, or socially — let’s connect. Let’s make progress feel like play. 🎸✨

📩 Now scheduling sessions!
