Description

HEAL WITH MUSIC! Book a Session with Essence Goldman. Music Medicine is a powerful form of healing to help individuals treat, cope, and transcend physical, emotional, cognitive and social challenges. Music helps reduce heart rate and lower blood pressure and cortisol in the body. Scientific evidence suggests music causes extensive activation of the brain, promoting the repair of motor and neural systems helping to improve recovery in stroke patients, reduce symptoms of depression, improve memory, dementia, Alzheimer’s, cardiac conditions, substance abuse, pain management, and even healing from injuries/surgery. Music eases anxiety and fear and can help improve self esteem and mood. Music has a way of opening our hearts and helping us feel more connected to others, to ourselves, and to the world around us. As a result, it is a direct line to our emotions and state of being. Consequently, it has been used as a therapeutic intervention since the late 18th century. For the past 15 years I have focused on working with those with autism, terminal illnesses (including Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS), and cancer), individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia, trauma victims/survivors, teens who are isolated and withdrawn, children with ADD, as well as individuals with depression, anxiety, and even broken hearts. I have seen profound improvement and transformation with each and every one of my clients. Music can be a portal. It can rekindle memories and make new ones. It can create a point of focus that, in effect, lifts a person into another way of seeing and experiencing life and the world around them. It can help manage pain and ease fear. It can help one process and navigate heartbreak and other complex emotions. It can lift spirits and can be a profound avenue for self expression. Music can become one’s legacy. No two people are the same, therefore no two musical journeys are the same. I tailor my work to the individual. The specific approach can range from voice lessons, to guitar and ukulele instruction, to studying the works of great classical and contemporary composers, to guiding the participant through the journey of composing their own songs through a series of results driven writing prompts and exercises. In addition to exploring the many therapeutic effects of music, I have produced recordings for many of my clients. Some of these recordings have been featured prominently on NPR, BBC, and The San Francisco Chronicle among many more. My goal is to heal through music. I have personally witnessed the healing effects of music. I believe music can create miracles. I am dedicated to this work. Healing through music is life defining for me. It is also life defining for many of my clients.
