We Love Our Parachute
Those of you who already own one of these will never believe that this is the NEWEST addition to our collection of movement props. We have just about everything else (including most of what is available from our friends at Bear Paw Creek) but for some reason, a...
{Guitars & Granola Bars} Episode 35
Interviewing this week's podcast guest was actually the second time in the same week that the two of us had an in-depth conversation. I first connected with Catherine Hershey a few days earlier when she interviewed me for her music therapy blog, and I enjoyed talking...
The Gang’s All Here
It's hard to believe, but Music Therapy Connections, LLC has grown from a duo to a team of 7 in the span of just one year. On Monday we had a full house in our studio with 5 music therapy sessions, lessons, and groups happening at the VERY SAME TIME. It was awesome....

This is My Self-Care
Every week, I ask my podcast guests about their self-care practices. That is, what they do to nurture their spirits and recharge their batteries. Some do yoga, others grow gardens...the list goes on. And then there are some who admit that this is an area where...
Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho…
It's off to work I go! This is where I'll be spending a big part of my week starting today, and I'm super excited about it. Okay, a little sad, because what mom is jumping for joy about leaving her 3-month-old...but mostly super excited. When I mention that I'm...
