For individual patients: Harp vibration therapy. Dr. Schneider brings the harp to a person's bedside, in their private home, nursing home room, or hospital room. She administers a sequence of harp vibrations in the form of songs and beautiful, relaxing tones arranged to address an individual's needs and preferences. People who love music or have ever sung, played, or taught music have been shown to benefit particularly, including lower blood pressure; less anxiety, agitation, and pain; easier breathing; deeper sleep; overall lifting of spirits and improved immune response. This makes a memorable gift for an ill friend or family member.
For groups: Concerts, Lectures, and Retreats featuring harp therapy, in churches, hospitals, or nursing homes. Dr. Schneider weaves a lively and informative program of beautiful harp music performance together with the latest in scientific music research for caregivers and other professionals, including methods for using both live and recorded music to best advantage to address symptoms. She will tailor her songs and information to specific audiences, from church, women's groups, and retreat settings, to recovery, wellness, or medically-oriented listeners, and include a wealth of pertinent medical, religious, and historical information about the harp's effects.
