Why Self-Care?

Self-care is something that should fuel our bodies, minds, and souls. Now more than ever, our team is dedicated to prioritizing time and uncovering diverse resources to help ourselves, our music therapy community, and our clients. Below are some of our favorite resources that you can start using TODAY to begin to prioritize your self-care habits.

Ami Kunimura and The Self-Care Institute

As music therapist and self-care guru, Ami Kunimura’s Self-Care Institute is a beacon of resources to “help professionals decrease burnout and stress with sustainable self-care practices that support a fulfilling life at work and at home.” Weekly emails, courses, self-care challenges and informational blog posts allow for our entire team’s mental health to feel nurtured to best serve our clients.
