Project Description

Healing Muses provides live, professional quality soothing harp music to hospital wards and waiting rooms throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to support patient care and recuperation. We create a calming and restorative musical environment while not overriding or competing with conversations and necessary medical interactions. Our harpists perform in cooperation with hospital staff and their work flow, offering emotional support to patients, families, and other caregivers. Studies show that harp music, in particular, enhances physical healing, as well as helps alleviate emotional stress and tension. Healing Muses harpists are professional musicians who learn repertoire by heart specifically chosen for its healing properties. Our harpists are trained in compassionate, sensitive, and respectful delivery of quiet music in medical settings, and are responsive to patient and staff needs in the moment. Particularly since the onset of the pandemic, Healing Muses has been available to offer a balm for staff suffering from compassion fatigue, high stress, and burnout.
