I love working with individuals and groups to bring transformation, using music to meet and address
each person’s needs and goals in a meaningful and authentic way. As a Registered Music Therapist
with over 10 years’ experience, I have had the privilege of seeing the unique benefits music therapy
can offer in a variety of health, education and community settings. I have experience working with
people across the lifespan in special education, community groups for people with a disability,
neurorehabilitation and neurodisabiltiy, aged care, dementia care, cancer care, and early childhood.

Music Therapy has not only brought our daughter great improvements in motor planning, finger strength, communication and attention span, it has brought her great joy as well. There is no place she would rather be than in a room making music.

“Yesterday was one of the most rewarding when we had a visit from a Music Therapist. What a great experience. To see a whole group of residents joining in by either singing, requesting, conversing, or ‘playing’ an instrument was a very emotional experience. The communication between residents was great and it was obvious how well they responded…it was brilliant.”

"My family have been thrilled with Liz’s Music Therapy and her regular reporting. Mum has dementia however I have noticed improvements in her cognitive functioning since she started her sessions with Liz. I know Mum enjoys her music sessions. I have no hesitation in recommending Liz – she has been a huge support in the care of my mother."
Family Member
"Thanks Megan. This is all a slice of perfect in a very crazy crazy world. So very glad we have kept this going for A."
“Pip has vast knowledge on how to engage and get results from children in her Music Therapy sessions. Her lessons are motivating and targeted for each individual child. Pip finds the just-right blend between the much needed structure that anchors and regulates our students, while always leaving room for improvisation, exploration, and musical adventures co-created with the students. Her communication with the family and team that supports the child is second to none, taking an interest in using strategies that work within the school/home setting as well as sharing strategies that go well in each session”
