Mental Health America of Southwestern PA

We were so pleased Laurie was able to present on music therapy at our conference, as she is known for her dedication, musical talent, and high level of expertise. Her workshop was highly rated – fun, engaging and interactive, as well as informative!

The Westmoreland Parkinson’s Support Group

What a great program Laurie developed for our Parkinson’s Support Group! We practiced better breathing techniques, improved articulation and volume control, but all while having a wonderful time singing, laughing and moving around to music. It was the best way to help us stay healthy! Thank You, Laurie.

I’d like to thank Laurie for her kindness and generosity. She gave freely of her time and musical/vocal talents to help my family through the very sad and emotional loss of my sister. Laurie made the day much less stressful which led to the funeral being a beautiful event. I will never forget what she did for us. God bless her!!

The music at our wedding was lovely and just what we wanted.  Our wedding was atypical in that we didn’t have the usual “Here Comes the Bride” and other traditional music.  We wanted music that reflected our life together.
Laurie delivered, as I knew she would.  We chose all of the songs, but Laurie arranged the music and gave us options for sound and order that we would not have known to consider.  Laurie even allowed us to choose special music sung by our talented family member.   It was all lovely, and we so appreciated Laurie’s talent.  She played piano and sang beautifully as we walked down the aisle and through the service just as we planned.  Our event was as lovely and perfect as we could have wanted.  Thank you, Laurie for making our day so special!
