Heart Sounds
Therapeutic Harpist
... heartfelt music for body and soul ...
Therapeutic Harp played at the bedside can ease tension, stabilise body rhythms, and reduce pain.
The warm resonance of the harp brings comfort, connection, and deep relaxation.
Mission Statement:
To offer healing sound through intuitive harp music for the mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of patients and carers, and to promote peaceful end-of-life journeys.
What is Therapeutic Harp?
What I offer as a Therapeutic Harpist is very different from music played for performance and entertainment. At its core is the intent to create a healing environment where the participant can find peace, comfort and relaxation - like a ‘musical massage’.
Live harp is played one-on-one, often at the bedside, and is tailored for each individual. There is no music stand or sheet music between me and the client, enabling close observation of facial clues and body language to guide the music.
Most often, the music played is not a recognisable song, but a flowing continuum of improvised music and sound, as Therapeutic Music utilises the elements of music, such as rhythm, tempo, harmony and mode.
Individual responses to Therapeutic Harp vary, but people often comment that the session was “relaxing” and “very soothing”. One recipient commented that it “feels like heaven”, and another observed that they were unaware of the amount of tension in their body until they had relaxed into the gentle harp sounds.

My happy place ~ I feel most at home in a quiet setting in the natural environment, and being around animals. My life does not feel complete without at least one dog by my side.
Becoming a Therapeutic Harpist ~ I had always wanted to learn to play the harp, but it was not until my retirement that I had the opportunity to do so. What started out as a hobby, soon became much more, as I enrolled in Harp for Healing's clinical musician certification program and began training as a therapeutic musician.
I was awarded my final qualification as a Certified Therapeutic Musician and Certified Clinical Musician (CTM-CCM) in June 2025.
I love the sound of the harp, and its mellow tones and strong resonance make it ideally suited to therapeutic music. One of the best things about being a therapeutic musician is meeting people wherever they are on their journey, and sharing meaningful moments through music.
