TESTIMONIALS
"I want to be sure you know how WONDERFUL the music therapist has been in leading these amazing classes that ranged in number from 7 to 25 with participants who spoke 3 languages in the same class. The MT engaged all the residents with warmth, respect, and enthusiasm. She connected with all of them resulting in me hearing only positive feedback about her. She also went above and beyond to create meaningful music experiences for those who spoke Chinese or Russian. After each class, everyone left feeling better than when they started the class."
"I will be honest. My first thought of having music therapy was not really good. But when Tracie came for the first time, I saw how much both my parents thoroughly enjoyed it, especially my Dad. My dad has been the song leader at our church so he has always loved music and singing. My Mom has greatly benefitted from it as well, even since my Dad has passed. Tracie has found a talent of my Mom's that has been hidden all these years. So yes, music therapy is awesome and I would encourage anyone who has a loved one in hospice to take every advantage of it."
"We can't thank you enough of the tremendous program you provide our employees. Your enthusiasm and talent radiate throughout each and every session. Our employees live a more dignified and enjoyable life because of your dedication."
"Thank you SO much for all the wonderful work you do with kids, especially [client]. He really enjoyed this [group session]! You are a great teacher and have so much patience. Hope to see you in the next session!"
"Thank you so much for this. This is AMAZING! Wow! [Client] is so proud of himself. Thank you for giving him the confidence to do this. We are so grateful to you!!"
"Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It brought tears to my eyes (a good thing!) as I thought about that amazing night for [client] and everyone else involved. I feel so blessed that you all came into our lives. Thank you!"
"As always, thank you SO much for leading another successful session of music therapy [sessions]! You are a rockstar with the participants and an absolute pleasure to work with. Looking forward to this fall!!!"
“I first witnessed Tracie’s work at a Pioneer Coalition meeting that was teaching the audience person centered care practices in long term care. After that meeting, I knew I had to have Tracie bring her work to our community. Tracie and her team of music therapists have been with residents and their families at the most vulnerable times of their lives. They have helped relieve anxiety in residents living with dementia, pain in residents that are recovering from surgery and those at end of life. I remember a particular instance with a person that was living with dementia and was recovering from a recent hip surgery. The nurses knew it may be a challenge to remove the staples. We asked the music therapist to provide distraction during this procedure and the resident didn’t even notice the staples being removed. This is a great example of being able to do a procedure that many others would feel required medication to calm the person. We have been amazed at the results music therapy has had on our residents!”
“It was such fun spending the past 3 days with you and you did a magnificent job! Thanks for you skill, focus, diplomacy, thoughtfulness. I could go on.”
