Testimonials

“Shannon has had a big impact on Sarah’s confidence and she thoroughly enjoys her sessions. She looks forward to her music therapy and we never have to cajole her into going every Saturday, which believe me, says a lot!!”
~ Parent of a music therapy client

“Harry started off not talking at all during the sessions and has progressed to being very expressive and chatty, enjoying his favourite games and trying out new instruments. Shannon was also kind enough to visit our school and help give the teachers ideas on how to include Harry despite his selective mutism.”
