Reclaim Your Rhythm with Maya Benattar

June 16, 2021 • Rebekah Shackney/ Maya Benattar • Episode 27

In this episode, I’m speaking with Maya Benattar, musician, vocalist and music therapist. She talks about how her parents inspired her to become a music therapist and how she uses music to help clients connect with their emotions and deepen their therapeutic experience. She invites clients to let loose, get messy and fully participate and reclaim their rhythm.
