Harp Therapy
Therapeutic Music (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. The practice of using music and sound for healing is rooted in thousands of years of history in all cultures of the world, and in modern times, ample scientific evidence has proven the healing and comforting essence of music. Therapeutic Music 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 certified through the Harp for Healing Clinical Musician Certification Program. She works with both individuals and groups in a variety of settings, including:

You may also find Therapeutic Musicians working in non-health and wellness settings, including schools, offices, veterinary clinics, community centers, veteran centers, spas, and more. Healing music is universally impactful, so the possibilities are endless.
