About Us

Hi there! My name is Emma (she/her) and I am the ​founder of Birthplace Music Therapy. I am music ​therapist with more than 6-years of experience serving ​newborns, children, parents, and birthing people in the ​medical setting. I graduated from Western Michigan ​University in 2017 with a degree in music therapy and ​am board certified. I also underwent specialized training ​to provide safe music therapy services to premature ​infants who are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive ​care unit (NICU-MT), perinatal mental health (PMH-​C), and to assist with music therapy during childbirth ​(MTACB).

After working in a children’s and birthing hospital, I ​became passionate for supporting families from ​pregnancy through parenthood. Though I specialize in ​early childhood, I have experience supporting individuals ​of all ages in individual and group music therapy ​services. Music therapy utilizes music to work toward ​non-musical goals, with common areas including stress ​reduction, pain management, relaxation, developmental ​growth, bonding/attachment, executive functioning, ​social skills, and legacy building.
