Experience and Background
When I first began to play a harp, I was drawn to the soothing effects of its sounds. It induced a sense of quietness and serenity within me. After studying how to play music in a therapeutic way I began playing my harp for patients in hospitals and hospices. Patients and staff felt a sense of relaxation and relief from pain and stress.
I combine playing suitable music on the harp while guiding meditations to harness the calming effects of gentle harp music. This provides a point of focus, and enhances the relaxation experience for meditators.
Accreditation and Professional Standards
As an accredited teacher with the Meditation Association of Australia, I adhere to strict professional and ethical standards
As an accredited therapeutic harpist and member of the Australian Therapeutic Harpists Association, I use the harp’s harmonious and sustained tones to create an atmosphere of serenity and tranquillity, allowing the listener to unwind and enter a state of deep relaxation.
Scientific studies back up the positive effects of live harp music.
