Humans have a deep connection to rhythm and music and can benefit greatly from the use of music and creativity as a therapeutic medium.

Music is essential to health.

Your life can be transformed by creating and making music.

“I am so glad I put my son in music therapy at an early age to help him with pain control related to his chronic pain condition. He rarely takes pain medications and is so happy all the time while playing his guitar and singing for anyone willing to listen! This has been the best form of therapy that we could have imagined and is developing such an amazing talent in my son that I just know will carry him throughout life.”

“Having specialized programming that benefits residents with end-stage dementia and the personalization each resident receives are what I like best about the music therapy services. Residents who are non-communicative are verbally communicating more and more; and residents who do verbally communicate show overall improvement.“

GIM helped my emotional and mental health by providing a brave space to experience and feel my own emotions.  I learned about the unique things that motivate, inspire, and challenge me and how to look within in a gentle and compassionate way.  Brittany guided me through the music and also helped me gain helpful emotional resources and strategies that I can use in my daily life.
