Nurture the Seed, and it will Bloom
Poipoia te Kākano kia Puāwai
Located in Ōtautahi (Christchurch), Seedlings offers music therapy tailored for children aged 0-18 years, with a particular emphasis on infants, young children, and their whānau. Our mission is to foster and nurture secure attachment during the formative years, meet family systems where they are and empower them to grow together.
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
WHY CHOOSE MUSIC THERAPY?
"I was really struggling with my youngest son's emotional regulation and meltdowns. I read about music therapy and reached out to Lucy from Seedlings and we have had the best experience! My son's meltdowns have decreased immensely and his ability to regulate him self has improved. My son loves music therapy and is so excited to go each week, I also enjoy doing this with him and it has become something we both look forward to. My son loves to use the strategies and songs we use in music therapy at home and at school and it's hard to believe that music could change our life in such an impactful and positive way. I can not thank Lucy enough for the help and support she has given to my son and our whānau."
- Mum of 5 year old
