Healing Through Music, Backed by Research
Led by Melbourne-based Registered Music Therapist Paul Byrnes (RMT), we provide evidence-based, trauma-informed music therapy for all ages — in person or online. Whether you’re navigating autism, dementia, trauma, disability, or mental health challenges, music therapy offers a creative, safe, and goal-focused path to healing — no musical experience needed.
Music Therapy supports:
- Emotional regulation & routine
- Communication & social skills
- Memory & motor development
- Confidence, anxiety, grief & life transitions
Sessions may include singing, instrument play, songwriting, movement, or listening — all tailored to your goals.
