Did you know that, for thousands of years, sound has been successfully used by man as a powerful healing mechanism? And it’s still being used today with great success.
Despite our differences, most of us like listening to music in one form or another. But did you know that music helps our wellness?
Music therapy is a real thing, and it can impact not only our mental health but our physical health as well. Music therapy uses music to achieve goals like reducing stress and improving our quality of life. A certified music therapist tailors each session to our needs. It could involve singing, playing instruments, or composing music, with some sessions focusing on discussing the meaning of music.
