Meet Elaine (she/her)

MMT, MTA

Thank you for being here today.

My name is Elaine and I am a Certified Music Therapist (MTA) and Counselling Therapist (ACTA) working on the traditional territories of the Treaty 7 Nations in Southern Alberta, and the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 - Calgary, AB.

Music means many different things to different people and I would love to hear your experience around the intersections of music and your identity.

Engaging in the 1:1 music therapy experience, whether it be singing, listening to music, or improvising, is a way to process and grow. I will provide you with the necessary support to make your experience a fulfilling one. No previous musical experience or training necessary

I look forward to meeting with you.

Why Music Therapy?

It can help with

Rehabilitation

Music can regulate gross motor and fine motor movements, stimulate language centres of the brain especially after stroke or other injury. Singing can also help with breath control.

Stress

Music therapy can help you ease tension and promote relaxation. It can also aid in physical and emotional regulation

Communication

Music-making is a way of communicating non-verbally which can enhance other ways of self-expression.

Emotional Processing

Understand your thoughts, feelings and responses in a safe and non-judgemental environment. Develop tools and strategies to promote self-confidence and self-esteem.
