For the past 43 years I have been teaching people from all walks of life to use music as a way to improve, energize and vitalize their lives. My passion is the use of music as medicine and particularly the use of music for the patient in surgery. I have conducted medical research at the University of Louisville School of Medicine while working closely under the guidance of Joel Elkes, MD, and Leah Dickstein, MD. I worked as a clinician at Baptist Hospital East in Louisville providing individual, family, and group therapy. While at Baptist Healthcare I also did training on the use of music as medicine with preemies and newborns, chemical dependency patients, and patients diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimer's.In 1990 I became a professional speaker on the Healing Power of Music in addition to teaching and performing classical concerts on piano. I have now presented keynotes and workshops around the world and have an award-winning site and 3 individual blogs. I've presented a webinar for all caregivers at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi as well as the University of Louisville, University Hospital Department of Anesthesia. I have presented Grand Rounds to Cleveland Clinic Florida as well as other hospitals around the world..My book, "Having Surgery? Using Music to Decrease Anxiety and Pain Perception," is available on Amazon at https://amzn.to/2V2kw6H.We sell preloaded headphones containing our copyrighted music, that I curated according to a proprietary system that engages “rhythmic entrainment,” in which the body responds to the rhythm of the music, creating relaxation. Our music is specifically curated to calm patient anxiety and decrease perception of pain.
