Alexis Baker is a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC), certified dementia practitioner (CDP), and founder of Bridgetown Music Therapy. Her mission as a music therapist is to spark joy and improve quality of life through meaningful music engagement.
In this episode you'll hear how connections can be made through music - as Alexis uses music to make a difference in the lives of older adults living with dementia and their caregivers. Music Therapy provides a useful tool for caregivers to add to their toolkits - as music is a bridge that provides opportunities for connections for their loved ones.
This type of therapy sounds refreshing and uplifting, as we learn that music activates each part of our brain when we sing, dance, play or simply listen to music.
Alexis provides opportunities through her website bridgetownmt.com for folks to attend a LIVE session through Zoom or to watch a sample session to experience the benefits of music therapy.
