MTAKimberly is a space of exploration, self-compassion, and holistic wellness.

I am a Certified Music Therapist, Neurologic Music Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and Holistic Wellness Advocate serving Kington, ON and area. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology and Masters of Music Therapy (MMT) from Wilfrid Laurier University and I am currently working towards becoming a Registered Psychotherapist. 

My main instrument is voice with additional training on guitar and piano. I am passionate about work within mental health and I hold additional clinical experience working within forensic settings, with individuals experiencing depression and anxiety, youth and adults at risk, individuals with developmental delays, seniors with dementia and Alzheimers, individuals who are deaf/blind, ASD, ADHD, and more. 

I have been practicing music therapy for over 5 years, and in June 2021 I co-founded Synergy Music Therapy & Wellness Services with my colleague and good friend, Hayley Francis Cann of MTAHayley. To access music therapy services you will be redirected to the Synergy MT website to learn more about all that we do.

In addition to music therapy work, I am invested in providing opportunities for individuals and communities to explore personal wellness and how to live a fulfilled and harmonious life. I strive to provide mentorship and consultation to anyone interested in embarking on their personal wellness journey, and I am honoured to be along for the ride.

At my core, I believe deeply that everyone deserves to live a fulfilled and Well life, and I am passionate about creating inclusive and supportive spaces in which you can process, explore, express, and thrive!

What is Music Therapy?

Music Therapy is a discipline in which Certified Music Therapists (MTAs) use music purposefully within therapeutic relationships to support development, health, and well-being. Music Therapists use music safely and ethically to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains.

Anyone can benefit from music therapy regardless of ability, needs, and musical experience. Music Therapists use their knowledge of music and how it impacts our brains and bodies to help clients accomplish musical and non musical goals.
