Canterbury

I am a NZ Registered Music Therapist with over 25 years experience, working mainly with children and adults with learning (intellectual) and multiple disabilities. I currently work in community and school settings and also work with support workers and family members to develop music ideas they can use.I have been supervising music therapists and music therapy students for over 15 years. I use a psychotherapeutically informed relational model of supervision. I enjoy working with music therapists and students to support their work and development. I offer the use of music making within supervision as part of the process of reflection and deepening understanding.

Music Therapy has not only brought our daughter great improvements in motor planning, finger strength, communication and attention span, it has brought her great joy as well. There is no place she would rather be than in a room making music.

John and Emma - Hamilton, NZ

“Yesterday was one of the most rewarding when we had a visit from a Music Therapist. What a great experience. To see a whole group of residents joining in by either singing, requesting, conversing, or ‘playing’ an instrument was a very emotional experience. The communication between residents was great and it was obvious how well they responded…it was brilliant.”

Family Member - Hamilton, NZ

“We feel privileged to be part of these groups and to witness the transformation that these sessions bring about…extremely moving and powerful…Music Therapy is priceless”.

Support Person

"My family have been thrilled with Liz’s Music Therapy and her regular reporting. Mum has dementia however I have noticed improvements in her cognitive functioning since she started her sessions with Liz. I know Mum enjoys her music sessions. I have no hesitation in recommending Liz – she has been a huge support in the care of my mother."

Family Member
