Hayley Francis Cann is a Canadian-Bermudian certified music therapist specializing in the geriatric, autism, stroke, and acquired brain injury populations. Hayley uses music daily to help these individuals improve their quality of life and encourage self-discovery. Writing has always been a passion for Hayley, and she is constantly seeking ways to best connect with people in creative ways. Mandy s Mom, the Music Therapist is the amalgamation of two things Hayley understands to be true as a human being and as a music therapist:
1. We learn and shape our initial opinions about the world as children based on the things we read, watch, and hear, and
2. Many people do not know what music therapy is, how it is implemented, and that it exists as an achievable, evidence-based profession.
As a passionate advocate for this growing field, she wondered how she could combine and combat these two realities. This book is her answer.
