Harp Therapy and Music for Special Events
Harp Therapy and Music for Special Events
Quotes from Chemo-therapy patients at the Hinton Cancer Clinic
“Harp Therapy is enjoyable and increases endorphin production which promotes healing.”
“Such a pleasure to have harp music live at my cancer treatment!”
“I think I’ll still want to come after my treatments are finished, just to hang out and enjoy the harp.”
“I really do not like it here. (in the cancer clinic) It makes me angry and nervous. The harp really calms
me down and gives me some peace.”
“I get very relaxed during and after the playing of the harp. Very therapeutic.”
“I find the harp to be a very soothing, therapeutic instrument.”
“Keep up the excellent music and work! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“I have personally witnessed the harp as a therapeutic instrument and appreciate the ‘healing touch’
it brings to patients and visitors, supporting our goal of health and healing. Marilyn is attentive to
the needs of each individual patient and designs her program to meet those needs. Nursing staff and
even cleaning staff have commented on the positive effects of the harp music. The benefits are not
only physiological (positive changes in heart rate, breathing and blood pressure), but emotional and
psychological as well.”
Nursing Services Supervisor, Hinton Health Care Centre
“I usually experience music as something outside of myself, but when you played your harp it went
straight to my soul and I experienced it from within.”
B&B guest from San Francisco

soothes the mind and gives
it rest, heals the heart
and makes it whole, flows from
heaven to the soul." ~ Anonymous
