ABOUT



Sarah Dunston is a Brisbane (Australia) based Registered Music Therapist (RMT) specialising in community work. She has worked in many different contexts across the life span including residential aged care, community mental health, adult disability, schools (Flexi, special and mainstream) and early childhood (capacity building and early intervention).

She developed a special interest in trauma informed practice quite early in her career and it continues to be a driving force in all her work due to its focus on making all clients feel safe, seen and valued.

Sarah began an MPhil on the topic of trauma informed early childhood music therapy in 2019 and this business is a result of this study and her ongoing work in this space.

What is Music Therapy?

Music Therapy can offer a unique pathway to healing, communication, self-determination, autonomy and self-expression. Music has the power to connect on a deep emotional level.

Whether it's a catchy pop tune, a soothing melody, or a stirring classical piece, music can move people like nothing else. Music Therapy is an allied health profession that harnesses the power of music to help people overcome challenges and improve their overall quality of life.
