Leaders in trauma informed music therapy and training programs tailored across the lifespan

ABOUT

Sarah Dunston is a Brisbane (Australia) based Registered Music Therapist specialising in community work. 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 running an early childhood music therapy program for Act for Kids- an organisationthat runs therapeutic programs for children impacted by abuse and neglect.

Over the six years she has been working for Act for Kids, she has developed a protocol which helps children with complex trauma histories to calm, connect and heal through music and sensory play.

Sarah is also a registered teacher and has adapted her protocol to train and empower early childhood educators to also learn to use the power of music to help regulate, calm and connect with young children who have faced adversity.

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.
