Greet the new day with uplifting music to boost spirits, focus attention, and enable optimism and joy.

Ease anxiety

Healing music can alleviate anxiety and ease fears among those who might feel stress or social isolation.  

Relaxation music for staff

In these stressful times, provide relaxation for your healthcare staff by having Healing Music at the Nursing Station or Employee Lounge.   

memory care units

People with memory challenges can come to life through the gift of healing music.  Side effects can include toe-tapping, swaying to the beat, hand-clapping, ear-to-ear smiling, and overall merriment!

Bring families together on zoom

When faced with a difficult diagnosis, upcoming surgical procedure, or treatment protocols, patients and their families can experience feelings of stress and anxiety. Healing therapeutic music can unite families in loving support for the patient and for each other.    

quarantine and isolation rooms

Patients in "Precaution" protocols or isolation can experience the restorative properties of healing music by playing therapeutic music from the hallway outside their room. 

good night! music for unwinding and relaxing

Healing music at bedtime can enable relaxation and comfort, leading to a restful night's sleep.

After discharge - serving patients in home-care

Healing music doesn't have to end with discharge.  It can continue virtually when the patient has gone home.  This is especially beneficial for those with chronic illnesses.  

hospice and palliative care

Healing music can provide relaxation and comfort that eases the life/death transition, even when the person is non-responsive.  In these situations, the length of sessions can well exceed the usual 30-minute session based on the needs of the patient and the family.
