Nurture the Seed, and it will Bloom
Based in Ōtautahi, Seedlings provide accessible music therapy for babies, infants and their whānau. We aspire to foster and nurture secure attachment in the early stages of life, meet family systems where they are and empower them to grow together.
WHY CHOOSE MUSIC THERAPY?
Music Therapy uses music as a tool to achieve non musical goals. All offerings are tailored to meet the needs of you, your child and your whānau.
What is Music Therapy?
“Music Therapy is the planned use of music to assist in the healing and personal growth of people with identified emotional, intellectual, social or physical needs” - Music Therapy New Zealand
Music therapy is the planned and organised use of music to achieve non-musical goals. It supports well-being and growth within individuals, groups and communities.
All NZ registered music therapists adhere to the Music Therapy New Zealand (MThNZ) Code of Ethics and Professional Standards of Practice for Registered Music Therapists. This is also a requirement of the Allied Health Aotearoa New Zealand (AHANZ), of which Music Therapy New Zealand is a member.

“For me, the way of being with someone in music is the most uncomplicated form of love, really – that’s the only way I can define it. Love as being attentive to someone, being tended to, being listened to”. - Gary Ansdell’s How Music Helps in Therapy and Everyday Life
