    Music Therapy: Note the Benefits! Loren Goodman
    Aug 15 2023

    Why does music therapy work?Music is a whole-brain brain activity that generates physiologic responses. Its predictable and structured nature can improve attention, enhance learning, and expand communication. Music listening and creation are motivating social experiences that can access memories and express or alter emotions.

  • Systems in the Home (Mama Systems): Tips for Making it all Run More Smoothly: Laura Hernandez

    Systems in the Home (Mama Systems): Tips for Making it all Run More Smoothly: Laura Hernandez
    May 22 2023

    Laura Hernandez, mom of 10, talks about her life, her business and her family. Managing therapies and the needs of her family require systems....instead of just holding on and surviving until bedtime. How could they manage all of their logistics and have-tos and make time to intentionally instill the ideals that their family values?  It took her years to develop systems and life hacks to keep her family running and organized. But after creating systems that helped her family run smoothly, it reduced her daily workload and her house became a place of peace... yes, even with 10 kids!
