Nice to see there is still fun to be found amongst the current restrictions. Innovation at its finest 👏 #keyworkers #clapforourkeyworkers
New blog post reflecting on my work in Dementia. A good read if you know nothing about dementia and would like to get a very basic grasp #dementia #artsinhealth #musictherapy themusictherapyconnection.health.blog/2019/12/23/a-p…
This festive season, and heading into the New Year, #M4D2020 ambassador @laurenlaverne is urging people with #dementia, their families and carers to build #music #playlists with the help of free guides ♥ musicfordementia2020.com
Meeting the person who keeps my own inspiration going 😘
The unconscious at work perhaps. Sometimes we need to heal our anxiety through alternative means to “just talking”. P.S you don’t need a gifted voice like Ariana to benefit from musical expression #musictherapy #musicinhealth #mentalhealth #arianagrande
I am at @HandInHandLGBT this weekend. Saw a stunning performance of ‘Run’ this afternoon by @BrightonGMC. This festival is a true showcase of the positives of community singing. Well done to everyone who has travelled down to Cardiff to share their performances.
In today’s blog post I share five songs that have given me strength including Ariana Grande’s fantastic take on anxiety in her song Breathin. Read here: themusictherapyconnection.health.blog/2019/08/02/son…
Sorry, but you’re a moron. Adults without children are the largest demographic visiting Disneyland. Someday that could be Disney World. Don’t shame people for the stuff they love that you don’t get. If it’s not hurting anyone than shut up and mind ya business.

Music therapists and clients, do you agree with Leonard Bernstein? #musictherapy #musictherapist #mentalhealth #quoteoftheday #InspirationalQuotes
I still buy CDs from time to time. Anyone else?

The best thing I have found this week is ‘Tia Mowry’s Quick Fix’ YouTube channel. It’s truly an inspiration. If you grew up in the 90s you’ll remember @TiaMowry from epic TV show ‘Sister Sister’. Great to find you again Tia!
Well said Molly. Health professionals are human beings too with their own struggles.
What is a music therapist? For #musictherapythursday I have made my first blog post talking a little about what we do. If you’re intrigued, have a read here: themusictherapyconnection.health.blog/2019/07/18/wha… #musictherapy #musictherapist
Thanks so much to everyone supporting this new venture. I’m still in the process of creating content for the blog, meeting graphic designers and what not. Watch this space... so much more to come :)

Just been down to tesco getting a sandwich and some crisps and the lad at the checkout asked if I wanted to go for a drink. I told him I was married! but I was flattered. He said ‘no, it’s part of the meal deal’. You will NEVER catch me in tesco EVER again! 🤣🤣🤣
hey someone from UK please I need help to buy demi lovato signed poster DM me 😩😩😩😩😩
I shared my story of meeting Ariana Grande yesterday & I’ve been really touched by those who have reached out to me saying they are inspired by my spirit & kindness. Ariana & I chatted about my music work with the elderly & Alzheimer’s and how good it is for their health.
we interrupt your doomscrolling to bring you this bird by a 5 year old
I’m leaving academia. I start my new career in the civil service in Jan. I’ve made the decision because the competitive individualism underpinning academic culture is really quite horrid. A bit sad because I’m letting go of something major but it’s the right choice for me.
Delighted to say that I now have an MSc with distinction in Occupational Therapy 🎉 there were definitely points this year when I didn’t think I was ever going to manage to complete it but I can now start my maternity leave feeling proud and relieved! 🎓 @QMU_OT
So I’ve been thinking about how outdated some of these statues are around the UK. Shouldn’t they be of people that might actually inspire you when you see them? What I think I’m trying to say is I want a statue of Vera Lynn, not some 17th century wine merchant who kept slaves.
My clinical supervisor asked me what I was going to do this evening for self care. I said I’d probably listen to a bit of @ArianaGrande because I felt like a dangerous woman. She said ‘what’s an Ariana Grande’? 🙈 My funeral will be held tomorrow.
@ArianaGrande Thank you for such an amazing night for my daughter and I! Lord only knows the year we’ve had, this night has set the tone for our 2020! You have shown us there there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel, we just have to keep on breathin’ to get there ❤️
As many may know, my wonderful Grandma is terminally ill and battling cancer. I dedicated my book to her and doctors warned she may not be here in January to see it. So my wonderful editor had a preview edition printed for her and here’s the first time she read the dedication

11 years ago I worked in a HMV store and it still remains one of the most surreal employments I’ve ever had. Here are some of the highlights:
Channel 5 news came in to film some vox pops about the X Factor but eventually gave up after everyone they spoke to in the store just ended up calling Simon Cowell a wanker
A man threatened legal action when he discovered that instead of a staff member ordering him in Candyman: the horror film, they ordered in the CD single of Candy Man by Christina Aguilera
We were interviewed by @BBCNews in the streets of Cardiff. Who do we think will win the rugby match? We don't mind as far we can join them to celebrate tonight 😜🏴🏳️🌈 #HandInHandCardiff PS. lovely photo of our friends @Barberfellas bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…
After a terrific performance, we are hitting town to celebrate with our LGBTQ choral brothers and sisters that have descended to Cardiff from all over UK & Ireland 😋🏴🏳️🌈 PS. A bigger board next time please, we didn’t all fit😜 #HandInHand #HandInHandCardiff #ChoralFamily
It’s taken me until 27 years old to feel strong enough to show affection to another man in public... It’s been a journey, but I’m glad I’m here 🏳️🌈❤️
