  • Fun, Informative, and Impactful

    This is my favourite music therapy podcast, and so it was an absolute honour to join Mary as guests from Wellington Music Therapy Services. Hayley and Kim explore a variety of topics, going above and beyond what we know, and into how we can grow and diversify the field. Highly reccomened for music therapists and those interested in the field, as well as people who want to learn more about mental health topics, and social justice advocacy. Each season just gets better and better!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Resonance with Revenue" with Jodi McLaren
Q: What does the process look like for you writing a song for yourself versus writing a song within a music therapy space?
In a music therapy group, the process is time-bound and collaborative, often resulting in a finished song within one session, whereas personal songwriting can be slower and more self-directed, with opportunities to explore deeper experiences and emotions before producing a final piece.
"From the Ground Up" with Ryan Judd
Q: Can you tell us about Cool Koala and Mindful Roots and how they fit into your overarching mission?
Cool Koala started as guided meditations for kids with ADHD, expanded into an Alexa skill and app, and Mindful Roots grew from a desire to provide bite-sized, parent-focused mindfulness resources; both initiatives reflect his goal of integrating clinical expertise with practical, scalable tools for families.
"From the Ground Up" with Ryan Judd
Q: You mentioned a big shift in your career toward focusing on music and mentorship rather than merely clinical work. What prompted that transition?
Ryan describes selling off portions of his practice to focus on his music career and mentoring the next generation, recognizing that entrepreneurship requires support networks, and that guidance from mentors helped him sustain a creative, purposeful path beyond the traditional clinic setting.
"From the Ground Up" with Ryan Judd
Q: So maybe, why don't we start with The Rhythm Tree? Can you share a bit more about what that is and how it came to be?
The Rhythm Tree began as a branding idea for a kids' kit and evolved into a broader practice umbrella as Ryan needed a way to educate others about what music therapy looks like when it's put into real-world client work; after a failed initial product, he learned to listen to market needs and shifted toward projects that combined therapy, music, and accessibility for parents and educators.
"Therapy On Wheels" with Caitlin MacLean
Q: What fears did you have starting the mobile practice and how did you overcome them?
Fear was driven by financial risk and the novelty of moving therapy out of a brick-and-mortar setting; persistence, support from a partner, and a belief in the concept helped overcome anxiety and validate the venture over time.
