Hello, I'm Autumn Rae Carver

Music lives in us from the moment our hearts begin to beat. My mission is to create safe, inclusive spaces where music supports your journey.

I am a recent graduate of Acadia University, completing my clinical internship as I work toward becoming an accredited Music Therapist (MTA). As a lifelong resident of rural Nova Scotia, I recognize the deep need for accessible therapy along the South Shore.

"Music can heal the wounds that medicine cannot touch."
