Webinar: Music Therapy Intervention with MusiCure – Music as Medicine


Speaker: Anne Taylor

Anne Taylor, RN, BSN is the CEO & Founder of Scandic Health

Wellbeing is something we all strive to achieve. This is especially true for patients, caregivers and all members of the healthcare team. Today there are technologies in place that can be used to reduce stress, anxiety and fear. This webinar will demonstrate the evidence-based science around MusiCure – music as medicine and how it can assist patient advocates and consumers in their daily lives. Anne will tell her story as an RN, mother and now advocate for mental health. The participants will come away with tools, ideas and hope. A point about the importance of self- care for caretakers and advocates will be highlighted.

Program Objectives:
  1. The focus will be on my story how I went from a mom and nurse to a mental health advocate. The goal will be to share my story and to create a light for others to see. Advocacy comes from personal experiences and its stories from the trenches that create change, create support and create hope for recovery.
  2. The participants will gain knowledge of evidence-based music intervention and a detailed overview of the science behind MusiCure – music as medicine will be taught, the focus will be on the application of MusiCure – music as medicine within the healthcare sector but also privately. I will focus on the importance of a healing sound environment both for patients and their advocates to improve recovery.
Anne Taylor’s mental health challenges in her family pushed her into advocacy. In recovery she was introduced to the evidence-based MusiCure – music as medicine as a way to calm the mind. She promotes a calming sound environment in healthcare to lower anxiety and improve patient’s mental health. Anne has been interviewed for podcasts about mental health and entrepreneurship. She has contributed with articles to ThisIsMyBrave.org and Ecophon.com about mental health and the importance of a healing sound environment in healthcare. Anne is born in Copenhagen, Denmark and an RN, BSN living with her family in Northern Virginia.
