This year I am celebrating 17 years working within healthcare with the harp.
I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had to create a unique therapeutic program integrating music, counselling and the creative arts.

I work predominantly in acute , palliative / end of life care and have been inspired by the patients , healthcare staff and communities I work with.

Initially I was told that there was no way I could find work in this area.

However , I just had a sense that if I worked hard and continued to study I could do it. It’s been challenging and inspiring to create a business that’s a little bit different …….

To celebrate this milestone I have had an article published in The International Harp Therapy journal.

I always encourage others to pursue their dreams and passions. It isn’t easy but the rewards are many.

Thank-you
