Music lovers - this episode is for you.

In this interview, Rachel shares with us how we can intentionally use music to benefit our well-being - whether that be to improve our moods, practice a new way to connect with the inner child, or simply honor our emotions as a practice of self-love.

Touched on topics include common misconceptions about music therapy, how to know if our personal music therapy practice may require additional support, and practical ways to incorporate music into our wellness practice to level up our self awareness, tap into deeper understanding of personal identity, and validate our emotions.

Rachel Quirbach is a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Board-Certified Music Therapist, and EMDR trained mental health professional who has been supporting clients for over seven years. She currently works as an outpatient therapist. She loves helping folks resource music and the expressive arts to uplift and sustain their well-being.
