Wholesome Harmonies began way back in 2006 when I started seeing one private client after working my 9-5 (well, 7:30-3) job at United Cerebral Palsy (now United Community Options) of Miami. Soon after, I received more calls and more referrals for private services from my alma mater, University of Miami (UM). Parents would call the [...]
Did I ever mention here that I almost became a K-8 music teacher? My first year at University of Miami I was a music ed major and thought for sure that was the direction I was heading. That is, until I learned about music therapy. My work study job was right next to the Music [...]

Recently, I've fallen in love with my business. Sounds strange, I know. Don't get me wrong, though, we've had our share of rough patches, but right now things are pretty darn good. Let me explain. I used to work a "9-5." Most of my friends work a 9-5. There are lots of perks to working a 9-5. [...]
I love the term "menu of services." That's probably because it reminds me of food. For the services we offer at Wholesome Harmonies, I think the term "smorgasbord of services" is a better fit, though. We offer a wide variety of music services for children and teens of all abilities and I think the term "smorgasbord" captures [...]
Up until now my website has been my main source for bringing in new clients. However, one day while I was perusing the Vistaprint website, I decided to look into some other tools I could add to the "marketing mix." Vistprint has a plethora of marketing materials that are colorful, creative and cost-effective. I decided to order: brand new [...]
I always love having the opportunity to present on my favorite topic in the world - music therapy. I could talk about it all day long. To share stories about the progress I have seen in the children I work with is one of the most amazing things. That is why I am so thrilled [...]
It occurred to me yesterday, as I was thinking about a topic for my Wednesday blog post, that I have a pretty interesteting perspective on working as a music therapist. I am both a full-time/salaried music therapist AND I am a music therapist in private practice. Both have their pros and cons, as all jobs do, [...]
On Sunday, I returned home from a wonderful 2 week vacation across Florida with my hubby-to-be. We drove from Miami to Pensacola to meet up with family and ended our journey in St. Pete Beach to celebrate the wedding of one of my good friends. (The wedding even included a flash mob choreographed by my [...]
