Hayley is passionate about lots of things including accessibility, anti-oppressive practice, and finds her clinical passion in working with older adults, children, and in neurologic rehabilitation. She currently provides music therapy services to Bermuda and additionally, Hayley is a presenter, author, and current president of the Canadian Association of Music Therapists.  Hayley has authored and released two Children’s books: one about music therapy, called "Mandy's Mom, The Music Therapist" in hopes of creating a more accessible advocacy tool for the music therapy community & another, titled “Mandy’s Musical Mask,” an e-book detailing this new normal we are all experiencing and learning to tap into creativity along the way. In everything she does, Hayley aims to provide an authentic experience that is respectful toward all people no matter their age, diagnosis, background, race, religion, or additional social locators.Episode Links: MTAHayley Webpage Kelsey O'Connor NC State Commencement Speech '23 -- Subscribe to the Able Voice Podcast, leave us a review and connect with us (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ablevoicepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @synergymusictherapy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) to share your experiences and takeaways.
