HEALING MUSES HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE CARE SERVICES

Why Harpers?

~ Harp music creates a calming musical atmosphere that soothes the nerves and offers a welcome respite from care and worry for patients, families, caregivers, and visitors.

~ A Mayo Clinic study on harp music showed a marked decrease in fatigue, anxiety, sadness, and pain and an improvement in the ability to relax and sleep more soundly. It was specifically recommended for end-of-life care.

~ A variety of studies show that listening to therapeutic music can relax muscle tension, improve oxygenation to the blood, slow the heart rate, and support more desirable blood pressure levels.  

~ Harp music is often specifically requested by patients in transition. The vibration of the harp strings not only creates beautiful tones, but carries a nurturing, calming resonance to the cells of the body that promotes a peaceful sense of emotional well-being.

Book Healing Muses for Hospice & Palliative Care

Healing Muses harpers are available to play at the bedside of patients in hospice and palliative care in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

A typical hospice engagement is 45 minutes. Repertoire is carefully selected to create a soothing atmosphere of beauty and tranquility.

We offer a sliding scale fee of $150 - $250 per visit. We will do our best to accommodate requests when funding is a challenge, and invite donations to our Hospice Fund to make this possible.
