MUSIC THERAPY AUGMENTED

An image of music and country stickers that says "Your one stop music therapy sticker shop."

A course that reads "Inspiring Independence: Applying Postoperative Precautions to Your Music Therapy Practice." Description reads "Safe moves are power moves. Pre-approved for 6 CMTE Credits."

Where It All Started

Thank you, 2025!!!!

This year has been WILD in every way. I went into this year with a couple of goals: double my sticker collection (✅) and become an approved provider (✅). You couldn’t have prepared me for what joy followed!!

1. Undergraduate intensive with some incredible music majors 😍

2. Doing the unthinkable and hosting TWO booths at SER-AMTA (bonus points if you know the other 😉)

3. The sweetest surprise sighted at the beach!

4. Still working full time but wildly surprised at how many people love and want to work with music therapy

5. Admin assistant helping with every course and time you see my face online

6. Packing orders!!!

7. Finding new and incredible partners - this was an unexpected but LOVELY project I did with a local vendor

8. The most fun working with some stellar MTs on educational content

9. The sweetest life milestone that accompanied it all.

Thank you for blowing this year out of the water. I’m accepting orders this week, then taking the rest of the year off to breathe and renew. Thank you for letting me share my joy!!

You can have the most shareable Instagram posts and still have no eval inquiries coming to your website.

You can have the most thoughtful inservice and then still get questions about music therapy from the nurse on your unit.

You can have the prettiest flyer posted on a community bulletin board and still have to introduce yourself at a networking event.

Marketing isn’t one and done. It’s all about the touch points!

I believe colleges don’t always prepare musicians for the amount of work it takes to build relationships that convert. Partly because they have their own marketing departments and leave students out of it! And partly because the music community is super invested in itself, and tends to draw in the “music crowd.”

Getting out of the bubble takes effort. But making it feel like touch points makes the process more approachable, and gives you sooooo many more opportunities to measure your impact.

Remember: marketing is always a process. Just like your stellar music therapy work!

This one is for the ones who:

- want to treat themselves at the end of internship
- don’t know what stocking stuffers to send to mom
- are scheming on what to put on their new water bottle
- need an identifier on their badge when their job is listed under another department 😅
- want to say thank you to their amazing supervisor

You need stickers that do good. Help spread the word about music therapy, one sticker at a time!

I love how the holidays tap into both seasonal sounds and nostalgia.

I’m replaying scenes from Elf in my head. I have the excitement of Eloise at Christmastime. I feel as cozy as when I hear Nat King Cole sing about chestnuts roasting in an open fire.

As a music therapist, I live where music and memory intersect.

And this time of year? I can’t help but be captivated at how music makes this season truly magical.

Music therapy: more than being pretty and witty😉

The life of a music therapist comes with details and skill sets that go beyond what I’d ever thought I have. I wouldn’t want it any other way!

Making music therapy everybody’s business since 2015!!

Advocacy is marketing. Marketing isn’t just fonts and logos. It’s putting your vision into action.

Action packed, always. So thankful to do this with a team of music therapists who show up and show out. I love it here!!

If Canva came with built-in spacing and contrast standards enforced on every design, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

But here I am. 👀

With a tool utilized by almost everyone and their best friend, visual errors are GLARING. And no visuals makes you feel as personal as an AI Chat Bot. 😬

We’re way past the point of a particular design software making your slide deck stand out or handout feel different. Visual design is a foundational piece to ANY message.

The stats don’t lie. We make judgements based on how information looks before words come out of someone else’s mouth. And not valuing visual design means your incredibly hard work is getting overlooked.

Sometimes you got to play the game to beat the game. I’m ready for music therapists to beat the game AND revolutionize access to care.

Learn how your medical systems market… and how to get their attention so you can make music therapy a household name in your community. 🥰

Getting noticed in the right ways? Absolutely game changing✨

I get it. Being frustrated when called the wrong name. Seeing your inbox empty after a networking event. Feeling bummed when the post you worked on for an afternoon in Canva didn’t get more than 11 likes.

But that’s a marketing problem. Not a music therapy problem😉

AND I HAVE ANSWERS!!! Good marketing makes your work noticed. Ethical marketing makes your work trusted.

The work I’ve done has helped my private practice grow from 1 to 5 music therapists in a little over a year with multiple hospital & community contracts (and a ton of provider referrals).

Business is booming. We rarely have to explain what we do anymore. It just goes straight into “how can we get your services here?” or my favorite: “how can I set up an appointment?”

Don’t tell me it’s dismal out there. You just haven’t gotten the tools that will put your work in its much deserved spotlight.

As a music therapist who has been chronically online, I strive to make what I share about my job as ethical and private as possible.

Which in a visual space like Instagram? That’s hard to do. You can’t exactly use a session for B-Roll (um, HUGE red flag… don’t you even dare!)

But if you don’t market with visuals, you are limiting how potential clients and referral sources discover you.

Marketing like the early 2000s isn’t going to advance your message and impact. The world is moving too fast, and we got to keep up!

And you shouldn’t play roulette with your music therapy marketing either. There are real, detrimental consequences if you don’t understand the intersection between protected health information and what you share.

Marketing in healthcare spaces isn’t something to learn by fire. Or even trial and error. Your clients deserve the best, most ethical portrayal of music therapy services, regardless if you’re a new grad or a seasoned business owner.

Visual marketing extends from socials to the flyers you create. It’s not an accessory. It’s how our services are discovered, shared and remembered.

It’s time to ethically level up your internet and marketing presence. Because if your marketing isn’t ethical, it’s doing a lot more harm than good.😬

If you want music therapy involved… sometimes that means putting YOU in the room.

That program pitch. That policy your hospital is developing. That nonprofit media campaign. That community networking event.

If you feel like it’s out of your league… it’s not. You ARE the expert in music therapy. You know exactly how music can help your partners and communities achieve their goals.

But even with a 10 minute pep talk, that doesn’t always make the butterflies go away.

When you’re putting yourself on the line, finding a few things you can control can give you a lift. And if you’re like me? You need a few non-sugar kickstarters to help you keep your cool.

You got this. When you’re invited to the table, that’s not just a win for you. That’s a win for music therapy!

Textbooks get you through college. Relationships open doors for your career.

The referrals. The job pivots. The coworkers who become friends. Those happened because of the relationships you’ve nurtured. Not because you memorized answers on a test!!

Teams want good teammates. Ones who show up, care deeply, and deliver excellent care.

They adore the teammates who take an extra 5 minutes during lunch or morning huddle to share about the new figs color that dropped or the album you can’t stop listening to.

And they deeply appreciate the teammate who helped them make a breakthrough in patient care.

So when that voice in your head becomes a little too loud? Tell that imposter syndrome to kick it.

It’s no match for you because of the people who are on your side!!☀️

If you told my 6th grade self that playing French horn would take me to work in a healthcare system that I saw commercials of as a kid, I wouldn’t have believed you.

But it happened. My music degree literally got me there.

Music education is incredibly valuable, even if you don’t choose it as a career (though I absolutely do recommend!!!). And what’s beautiful about music is its immeasurable affect on our healthcare system.

Studies show:
- Music majors applying to med school have some of the highest acceptance rates
- Medical students who engage with the arts have significantly higher empathy scores than those who don’t
- Music supports interpersonal skill building, stress management, empathy, and teamwork among medical students

All which contribute to making your healthcare delivery and systems BETTER.

I’m not gonna lie. It’s a scary time for arts funding and advocacy. But art programs develop us in ways that screens and videos will never achieve.

Music and the arts teach discipline, focus, attention, and teamwork in ways that help us connect to others. And connection is transformative when it comes to leading in our communities.

Music education gave me the world. I hold immense gratitude for my music teachers, the music therapists who trained me, and the schools who believed music education is worthwhile.

Oh I know you’ve been there. 👀

Was I called a music[al] therapist during a Q&A at a conference where I was paid to present? Yes.

Has my work been misnamed by other providers who are in the middle of employee orientation? Yes.

Does it make me pause the same way when Lizzie is spelled with a Y? Also yes. (Y’all. I’m human)

But I’ve always approached these moments with curiosity. And I’ve found that this phrase is an attempt to make my work equal with the work that they know more about.

The stats don’t lie. A lot of people are familiar with other professions. I can’t fault them for not knowing music therapy proper terminology on a first impression.

So here’s my thoughts for my new grad self who would have probably bought herself an emergency pumpkin spice chai to get through a misnaming moment:

One day you wake up and realize your worth and impact in music therapy isn’t tied to an extra syllable. (Unless it’s actually printed wrong on your job offer or name badge).

Music influencing your behavior? Just look to Twilight. Seriously.

You hear the soundtrack. It instantly makes you think about rainy weather and the flannel in your closet. Next thing you know, you’re three movies deep into a vampire saga.

That’s the power of extramusical associations: the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that come to mind when we hear music that has nothing to do with keys, notes, or the rhythms you hear.

And sometimes, it lives so rent free in your head that you just HAVE to have a night full of werewolves and Loch Ness monster references.

Music’s association with our memory is so powerful that it doesn’t just carry memories. It even helps you recall scenes word by word, and even the feelings you felt when you first saw that sparkly vampire on the big screen.

Yep. I said it. It’s like your playlist decided you’re going on a Twilight binge, and seriously, who’s going to argue with that? 💀💖✨

Comment what’s on your fall playlist below. (Bonus points if it’s Phoebe Bridgers!!)

Music therapy is the one thing I could talk and talk and talk about!

But just because I can deliver a Ted Talk with my eyes closed doesn’t mean I *should* whenever I meet someone new.

Enter impactful visuals about music therapy. I loved seeing this music therapy wall on a university visit. Talk about leaving an impression without even saying a word!

So when you find marketing that spreads your message for you, it makes your impact magnificent. Whether it’s that flyer, sticker on your water bottle, or even the home exercise you delivered at the end of your session, these moments offer one more point that will help your work be referenced… and even remembered.

And when done well? It’s all anyone can talk about. Because music is THAT well loved.

Don’t tell me marketing is only colors and fonts. Because how people feel when they see you? Or see something that reminds them of you? That is an impression.

Your music therapy work is iconic. Down to the scrubs you wear, music you choose, and the badge reel you proudly display.

And your work deserves to be in spaces you’re not in. Because when you’re on their minds? You’ll have a seat at the table for that fundraising proposal or new FTE you’re creating.

Residency at your alma mater? Say less✨

I had the BEST time at the University of Georgia with @ugamusictherapy!

I spent my time with undergraduate music majors exploring the intersection between music and marketing.

That’s right. Multiple music majors. Music performance all the way to music therapy. Because marketing is that important. And did we have FUN!

A few guest lectures, a few more laughs, and a whole lot of reflecting on how college connections open up more doors than you’d ever imagine.

Love seeing the sparkle of possibility. I’m telling you. The bulldog nation knows exactly how they want to impact the world.

Proud to be a part of the legacy of UGA Music Therapy. 57 years looks great on you!!

Music therapy needs to be in more places for more people. And you’re doing the good work!

But good work isn’t enough to get music therapy into more spaces. Good work paired with people who will dream with us is how doors open.

And finding those people and motivating them to take action? That’s marketing.

I’m on a mission to change the way people connect with music therapy. Elevator convos and hallway waves only get us so far.

I’m done being the best kept secret. Are you?

So tell me. Where do you dream music therapy will be in 5 years? I’m ready to dream (and take action!) with you.✨

Confession: I’ve only kept up with Belly and Conrad because of hallway convos between call lights.

Good relationships with your coworkers? Better referrals. Straight up.

That extra time chatting about DWTS, cryptic Easter Eggs, or the restaurant you tried because of their recommendation goes miles.

Turns out, advancing music therapy isn’t only inservices and article sharing.

It’s alllllllll about how you show up.

Ready to be unforgettable? Follow to unlock the secret to standing out. We’re gonna make music therapy a household name.

You want the world to know about music therapy. And you’re going the extra mile to make it happen.

Everything you do leaves an impression. An impression that:
- Builds programs
- Secures funding
- Expands research
- Increases referrals

Which helps music therapy get where it needs to be for the people who need YOU.

Marketing isn’t only fonts and colors. It’s understanding the needs of who you work with. Articulating how you solve a problem. Sharing the impact of the outcomes you facilitate.

And you do that every. day.

You didn’t get into music therapy to stand on a soapbox and wear a sticker that says “ask me about my job.” And you definitely don’t need another late night wondering if your message really landed the way you wanted it to.

But you’re doing the good work. Getting the confidence to walk into rooms to share your mission is the hardest part. And with a stand out marketing strategy? You’ll have more people saying yes to you, and more people recognizing what you do.

Because you deserve less awkward elevator speeches, and more people wanting your services.

You didn’t get into music therapy to stand on a soapbox and wear a sticker that says “ask me about my job.” And you definitely don’t need another late night wondering if your message really landed the way you wanted it to.

But you’re doing the good work. Getting the confidence to walk into rooms to share your mission is the hardest part. And with a stand out marketing strategy? You’ll have more people saying yes to you, and more people recognizing what you do.

Because you deserve less awkward elevator speeches, and more people wanting your services.

Ready to level up your music therapy impact? Hit follow. Your work deserves to be remembered.

I have big dreams for the future of music therapy… and I believe this will happen in my lifetime!!

Every day music therapists get closer to the dream - whether that’s recruiting private pay clients or building community programs.

Do you remember? 🪩🕺💃🏽

I love how this song makes you think about wedding dance floors, boogie nights, drives with the windows down, and scream-singing with your besties.

I don’t think about the beats per minute or the chord progression. I think about the people in my life who also love an Earth Wind and Fire moment.

That’s what we call an extramusical association: thoughts around feelings and people and places, not the music we are listening to. And our brains make these associations EVERY day.

Happy September Day to all who celebrate!!

Anyone else’s creativity spontaneously kickstarts?!

This idea has been living in my head for YEARS. Ask any music therapist I’ve worked with and they could tell you exactly what it is.

But I didn’t know how this idea would enter the world… until a course outline magically created itself in front of me last week.

Gosh I looooove organizing big ideas into actionable concepts. Feeling fulfilled in this busy season of speaking, teaching(!!!), and DREAMING🤩

I got a referral from someone I’ve NEVER gotten a referral from before… and I will always remember her reason why.

Like if new grad Lizzie knew it was this easy to make interdisciplinary allies, I would have chased after knowing postoperative precautions YEARS ago!

Music therapy needs post op precautions because your team needs you to be clinical equals. It’s impacts everything from treatment planning to care delivery.

A 6 hour investment that will transform how you collaborate with your care team. 🫶🏼 DM for the link!

Music for cognitive strengthening your whole life? Yes PLEASE!! 🥳🥳

As we get older, some cognitive functions like attention, memory, and processing slow. Other times, aging is paired with health diagnoses which impact how we live and interact with our worlds. Cognitive decline inhibits independence, problem solving, and how we connect to those we love.

BUT MUSIC HELPS!! Music impacts various aspects of brain function and delays cognitive decline. And music therapy helps us do so intentionally, targeting specific cognitive tasks with goals that have real life impact.

Singing happy birthday isn’t just for marking milestones. It’s a reminder for how music allows us to age and live well. 🎂

It’s a good day to celebrate music’s influence on neuroplasticity!

So many elements of learning and adapting are reinforced by repetition. Music has natural systems of repetition. It allows us to form stronger learning pathways, memory recall, and even reorganize our brain after injury and disease.

Engaging with music changes our brain. Music has so many elements which require multiple areas of the brain to process and interpret information.

Strategically targeting these cognitive functions to develop and rehabilitate is why why you see music therapists in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and schools. Music therapists use music to enact molecular change, making learning & living easier and more meaningful.🧠💡🎶

New album new era - and it’s a post-op era TOO!! ❤️‍🔥

I always love it when music collides with healthcare experiences (it’s where I live as a music therapist!) and love how people talk about how they’re coping and adjusting to major life changes. As a psychosocial provider on medical and rehab teams, I’m always screening for caregiver role reversal and other psychosocial stressors.

There’s so much outside of the hospital that impacts medical recoveries - and love the air time Taylor gave to bring light to these components of medical recovery.

I’m still going to need 3-5 business days to process this podcast. #TheLifeOfAMusicTherapist

Being an employee has unspoken benefits! Continuing Ed Reimbursement has been my FAVORITE benefit to use throughout my career.

I’ve saved so much because I’ve asked for continuing education reimbursement strategically and kindly. And if you time your ask to the beginning of your company’s fiscal year, even BETTER since you’ll have the advantage of an untapped budget!

If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. You’ll be surprised how people want to support you - and how creative solutions can be! 🤩

No one can anticipate a major medical event. They are sudden. Abrupt. And impact how we navigate our worlds.

Music therapy can help. Music therapists who use postoperative precautions in their practice can help even MORE!

Holistic care is amplified when we anticipate what movements and ADLs may be challenging in recovery. And for the teenager who has to sit out of a baseball season to the parent who has to rely on their child to drive them to appointments, bringing humanity, hope and positivity while working on motor goals is essential.

Course is on sale through tomorrow!!! Be the psychosocial need superstar on your medical and rehab team. Your teammates and your patients need you! 🤩

Everyone wants to be understood and respected. Period.

The more I’ve earned trust with members of care teams, the more they’ve let me in on their hesitations for working with and involving music therapy.

It’s never fun to hear the about work you love in a bad light. But we won’t ever fix these gaps if we don’t know where to start.

This education exists because of the many, many conversations I’ve had with rehab teams about safety being a major gap in the delivery of music therapy patient care.

And it also exists because those same providers have told me how much they value music therapy and want it to be great. They believe music therapy provides needed motor and psychosocial support during recovery journeys, resulting in better outcomes for all.❤️

Information that advances music therapy shouldn’t be gate kept! Answers in our latest course available at the link in bio!!

“Happy and You Know It” is a nightmare after knee surgeries 😬🙃

So much of the music I love to use when working on motor and developmental goals ends up clashing when I have a post-op patient.

If you work in pediatric environments (hospitals, schools, private practice!!!), post-op knowledge is essential. Action songs may become contraindicated (yes, even TikTok dances)… and you need to know how to pivot. You are the expert in music-making: for both medical needs and child development!

There are dozens more actions that are contradicted in medical recoveries. Those movements aren’t limited to only hospitals - they impact lives in homes, classrooms, and outpatient appointments.

Learn restricted movements that impact music-making in our new course: Inspiring Independence. Now available online!
