Healing Through Music, Backed by Research
Led by Melbourne-based Registered Music Therapist Paul Byrnes (RMT), we offer evidence-based, trauma-informed music therapy for all ages — in person and online. Whether you’re seeking support for autism, dementia, trauma, disability, or mental health challenges, music therapy provides a creative, safe, and goal-focused way to connect, heal, and grow. No musical experience is needed.
Music therapy can help:
- Regulate emotions
- Improve communication
- Boost memory and motor skills
- Build confidence and reduce anxiety
Sessions may include singing, instrument play, songwriting, movement, or listening — all tailored to your goals.
