Life Itself Music Therapy is a private company providing home-based, professional therapeutic services to residents of all ages in Wayne County and surrounding areas.
I will come to you, providing services in the comfort of your home or facility. I specialize in elder care, using music to engage people with dementia, maintain skills for people with Parkinson's, & re-train neural pathways for people recovering from stroke or traumatic brain injury.
My Music Therapy Services
At Life Itself Music Therapy, I offer a range of services to meet your individual or group needs. Each session is customized to help you work toward specific physical, cognitive, emotional, or social goals through the power of music.
Individual Sessions - Price: $50-$75-$100 (30, 45, or 60 minutes)
In a 1:1 session, we work together on musical exercises targeting the specific goals we set during our assessment. A music therapy session can include an active music making experience, a receptive experience promoting relaxation and awareness, song writing, lyric analysis, or moving to music.
Group Sessions - Price: $125 (50 minutes)
Groups large and small can benefit from music therapy interventions. While music therapy is not entertainment, it is an enjoyable, motivating approach to working on common needs and building a sense of community.

Client Reviews
At Life Itself Music Therapy, I'm honored to work with individuals and groups who have experienced the transformative power of music. Here's what some of my clients have to say about their experiences:
"I had the blessing of witnessing Kathleen work with one of our congregation members as they were nearing the end of life. I watched as her music and presence helped to calm him and bring a sense of peace into the room. Her compassion and attention to playing music that would resonate with him was a great benefit and provided a comfortable atmosphere for prayer. Kathleen's music was a well-timed gift of grace."
Pastor Garry M.
"Kathleen worked with my father in both group and individual settings. As an amateur musician, he perked up significantly at the sound of music; live sing-alongs got him singing harmony again, while recorded music stirred happy memories. Kathleen’s deep compassion and astute musical choices brought him a great deal of comfort. Our family is grateful for her unique approach to this important work."
Vicki R.
