For your Winnipeg-area gathering

I specialize in slow Irish tunes for harp therapy, and I also play bright, quick, and celebratory songs and tunes for any gathering.
As a Certified Healthcare Musician, I bring therapeutic techniques to every event I play.

pub, family reunion, birthday party
Have another idea? Ask me!
My harp repertoire focuses on traditional Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English melodies and tunes played on my beautiful Fisher Harp. Or—you can choose my little portable harp so I can walk and let the music flow amongst your guests.
I arrive thirty minutes before the start time to set up and tune my harp.
Rates for general events
$400 for the first two hours (includes two ten-minute breaks)
$50 for each additional half-hour (includes a ten-minute break for each hour)
$50 surcharge if you choose to have both harps at your gathering
Harp Therapy (Winnipeg area and online)
As a Certified Healthcare Musician, I have specialized training to support wellness. While harp therapy is often about playing at the bedside in medical settings, the techniques can be applied wherever I play.
Group bookings generally work best with ten or fewer participants and can include up to thirty participants.
Where I offer therapeutic harp:
- Meditation groups, yoga classes, community art-making
- Workplace wellness programs, private gatherings
- Hospitals, hospices, care homes, independent living facilities
- Seniors’ programs, daycares
- Local library branches
Rates for harp therapy gatherings
Beginning at $100
Per participant fee is $10 per hour (minimum total $100 for one hour)
Most sessions are a maximum of one hour. This is because of the way participants experience therapeutic music sessions and the level of concentration and energy required from both the therapist and those receiving the harp therapy.
Shorter harp therapy sessions work very well in the context of wellness events with a variety of experiences included.
For care facilities: I understand that healthcare is constantly underfunded, and care facilities are often constrained by limited budgets. If you represent one of these facilities, I am happy to work with you to provide therapeutic harp music to our most vulnerable people.
