What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession that can support people across the lifespan, from newborns to the elderly.

At Music In Mind, our trained therapists support clients to achieve their own personalised health, wellness, or functioning goals through the development of tailored musical experiences and an empathetic and authentic human relationship.
