Music for Wellbeing

Music For Wellbeing

Music for wellbeing sessions combine healing music with Reiki using field recorded nature sounds, piano, cello and voice to create a nurturing soundscape that people can recharge, connect with nature and calm to.

Fara has been a community musician since 2006 and uses this style of music as a way of connecting and soothing the body and mind. 

She was shown how to do this in, 2005 by Peter Shearer, a Soaking Musician based in Norfolk. Clients can lie down wrapped in blankets, or sat in chairs, while they allow the music to soak through their system. This can be for groups or individuals. It can also be used in combination with people who are making poetry or art.

Musicians Treatment Program

Just as a musical instrument needs tuning and repair, your body requires maintenance to ensure performance of the highest standard. Musicians use their muscles with an intensity comparable to that of the dedicated sports practitioner and can similarly develop overuse injuries from posture and technique difficulties while they play. Regular care, work and attention to correct muscle use and posture is therefore an integral part of a healthy practice routine. Deep Tissue Massage Therapy can be an practical way to relax, release chronic tension, prevent and assist in healing injury. It is also an effective tool for increasing body awareness, which in turn will help to improve postural and practice habits that affect your muscular health on a daily basis.

T'ai Chi Chuan For All

The specific program for musicians, is a combination of Deep Tissue Massage treatments and postural exercises, derived from T'ai Chi Chuan principles. After the first couple of treatments it may be relevant for the musician to bring his or her instrument so that playing muscles and playing posture may be looked at in more detail. Exercises and postural ideas can then be incorporated into the musician's regular practice routine.

 

If you are a person with mobility issues preventing you from travelling, there is also the possibility for a home visit at additional cost.
