Expressive Musical Relaxation (EMR) is where techniques from mental health counseling, musical improvisations, and activities from music therapy meet.

It helps you find a way to express your emotions where words can set limitations. EMR group sessions give you a sense of belonging, connection and groundedness.

No prior musical skills are needed because the goal is not to make music but to express yourself, and music is merely a medium.
