Healing notes for a harmonious life

In 2026, Sarah Gibelin, a certified music therapist, permanently established her private practice in Les Vincents, Saint-Marcel-en-Marcillat, Allier.

Sarah draws on her extensive experience, including 12 years working in nursing homes and special education schools (IME) with children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities.

You don’t need to be a musician to benefit from music therapy sessions.

After taking a case history, Sarah uses two distinct methods:

• Active music therapy: The client creates sounds (singing, percussion, improvisation) to express emotions they cannot express with words.
• Receptive music therapy: based on listening to music that affects the neurological system and heart rhythm.

Music therapy is suitable for everyone, from birth, even while the baby is still in the womb, until the very end.

For seniors, music therapy helps to calm and manage behavioral issues and anxiety, and to improve memory and motor skills.

For children, music therapy helps address behavioral problems, attention span, and improve concentration.

Music therapy is a paramedical discipline that addresses a variety of issues, complementing traditional medical care.

The benefits of music therapy are significant:

– Management of chronic pain and sleep disorders.
– Support for neurodegenerative and related diseases such as Alzheimer’s
– Support for individuals experiencing burnout and depression.

Sarah offers sound relaxation sessions at her office and also leads group workshops.

She can travel to clients’ homes and to both medical and non-medical institutions.

Sarah sees clients at her office by appointement.
