Music Therapy Showcase by Heartland Music & Wellness (hosted by The Mom Walk Collective Cochrane)
2026-02-12 10:30 - 12:00 | Cochrane Public Library, 405 Railway Street W, Cochrane, Alberta
We are so fortunate to present an intimate, exclusive music therapy showcase presented by our very own Cochrane Mom Walk Mama, Laura MacLeod, of Heartland Music & Wellness (a private practice in Cochrane that she recently has opened).
Laura is an experienced and certified music therapist & counselling therapist. She has a broad range of skill sets and expertise from working with a diverse patient group; from being in the NICU, to working with elderly with Alzheimer’s, Laura has touched the lives of many with her practice.
Raised on a small farm south of Lloydminster, Alberta, she has experienced the west of the country at Capilano University in Vancouver for her undergrad in music therapy, as well as the east of the country attending Concordia University for her masters in music therapy.
She has completed training in neurologic music therapy, level 1 guided imagery in music, and is a certified NICU music therapist.
She is starting up her sessions at her practice in Heartland very soon (on February 11th – register now!), and our group is lucky enough to get our own intimate group session where we will experience a showcase of what music therapy is, and what it can do for us and our littles.
Musical instrument prize to be won!! 🎶🏆
