Music therapy groups for schools, community agencies, hospitals and organizations utilize a wide spectrum of therapeutic experiences based on the objectives and needs of the group.

Before being trained as music therapists, several of us had previously worked as behaviour interventionists.

Behaviour intervention is a type of behavioural support that focuses on teaching skills in the areas of communication, self-regulation, daily life, routines, play, and leisure to encourage behaviours that could positively affect a child's wellbeing and relationships with self and others. Our therapists utilize their training in music to support a child's behavioural growth. For children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), we are eligible for funding as BIs (Behaviour Interventionists) through the AFU (the Government Autism Funding Unit).

Kaia Stoesz
(She/Her/Hers) MTI (Music Therapy Intern)

Kaia (she/her) has been living and working on the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations since 2017. Her experiences as a mixed Asian queer woman have shaped her worldview deeply, aligning her music therapy approach with an anti-oppressive framework. She also believes strongly that music-making is essential to the human experience, and that every person can grow and change through their relationship with music.

Kaia has clinical experience working with seniors in long-term care, neurodiverse children, adults in substance abuse recovery, at-risk youth, and adults with developmental disabilities. In 2023, she completed her Level 1 training in Guided Imagery and Music (GIM).

Kaia is also a classically trained pianist, having earned her Bachelor of Music from UBC in 2021, and continues to teach piano in the Greater Vancouver area. She enjoys playing other instruments as well, including guitar, ukulele, violin, and Balinese Gamelan.
