Music therapy, when combined with traditional trea

Music therapy, when combined with traditional treatments like medication and psychotherapy, has been shown to improve depressive symptoms more effectively than standard treatments alone. It can reduce anxiety levels and enhance daily functioning in people with depression.

Music engages multiple brain regions, including the limbic system, which processes emotions and memories, potentially explaining why it can evoke vivid recollections and improve cognition and quality of life, especially in individuals with dementia.

“Music therapy made us aware of the developmenta

“Music therapy made us aware of the developmental potential of our baby while in the NICU.”

At 26 weeks, baby Leandro was born into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at BC Women’s Hospital. While he was in the incubator, his parents Carolina and Rishi said they “didn’t even know what was happening.” Music has always played a very important role in the life of this family. When introduced to the NICU music therapist, Carol, it seemed like the perfect fit.

Through music therapy, they learned how to gauge Leandro’s responses to sound and stimuli. Carol and Carolina created songs for Leandro in Spanish, creating a meaningful experience and songs they can take home and continue to sing. Rishi also felt inspired to learn how to play the ukulele for his son. Carol lent him a ukulele from the program to keep in the room, giving him some starting tips and inspiring Rishi to coin the term ‘the NICU-lele club’ to describe parents learning to play.

Carolina and Rishi reflect that in addition to music therapy being incredibly special for Leandro, it was also healing for them. They had no idea that this program would impact them as much as it did. Even now, as Leandro is preparing for his departure from the NICU, the family says they will continue to use music as a way to recover and heal as they transition home.

The family shared that “Music Heals” is the perfect name for the charity that provides funding for the music therapy program at BC Women’s NICU - healing families and babies through music.
