What is music therapy? Can it help kids with autism? In this episode, I interview Roxanne Christian, an international board certified music therapist, who shares her journey into music therapy and the profound impact it can have on emotional well-being, particularly for children on the autism spectrum. Roxanne discusses the applications and modalities of music therapy, its tailored approach to individual needs, and the therapeutic power of music beyond just listening. She emphasizes the importance of using voice as medicine, the role of breath work, and the significance of gratitude in therapy. The conversation highlights the growing awareness of music therapy as a valuable tool for mental health and emotional support.
