Resources

The Crisis of Connection

Insurance Jenny can accept

“In the warm, accepting environment, the petals open to reveal the flower’s inner essence. As our feelings are tapped, they become a resource for further self-understanding and creativity. We gently allow ourselves to awaken to new possibilities. With each opening we may deepen our experience. When we reach our inner core, we find our connection to all beings. We create to connect to our inner source and to reach out to the world and the universe.” Natalie Rogers, In The Creative Connection: Expressive Arts as Healing (1993)

Something that matters to me

“I approach my work as a music therapist with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for my clients’ willingness to share with me.”
