Harp Therapy
Harp therapy is the practice of playing live music for the purposes of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. It brings the mind and body into balance, helping to instill calm and peace in the listener. This practice is supported by ample scientific evidence and is becoming a sought-after modality in healthcare and palliative care facilities.
Therapeutic Harp Music is conducted by a harpist who has received training from an accredited certification program. Nicole is a Certified Clinical Musician from the Harp for Healing Program. She works with both individuals and groups in a variety of settings, including:
​
Hospitals
Hospice homes
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities
Alzheimer's units
Cancer centers
