Music Therapy: Nurturing the Music Within

Composing music has always been a way for me to restore balance. In a nutshell, music is therapy.

Over the years, my musical life has spanned from performing professionally to quiet inward reflection—a way to process the world around me. In a nutshell, music is my therapy.

It is astonishing to witness the long afterlife of music I have created. Years on, royalties still arrive, carried by listeners I may never meet—most notably in Belgium and Germany. Although I have not performed publicly for some time, the creative process itself has never ceased.

Especially in these fog-laden depths of winter, I am drawn back to the music of my ancestors. I took up the Celtic harp a few years ago, captivated by the sounds of the world’s more ancient hours. I especially enjoy playing stringed instruments; their resonances offer a deep, restorative calm to the nervous system.

I look forward to sharing more on this journey of music and healing in the months ahead.
