Welcome
Kateri Sparrow started in the giving field after receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Cincinnati. Working as therapy support for children and adolescents in the Kentucky foster care system after college, she began to develop trauma awareness and learned trauma informed techniques for calming and connection. Eventually she transitioned to working as an end of life caregiver (she now has over ten years experience) with two years as an activities director for a private nursing home. It is in the nursing home that Kateri again grew in awareness and learned techniques to address the physical and mental blocks unique to each person. She discovered the impact of music therapy and sound healing with the residents while leading her own music programs and working with music therapists. Kateri recalls how some residents could sing but, due to varying complications, struggled with speech. She also noted the powerful release of tension and boost in mood not only for the residents, but also for the caregivers. The mood of the entire community was elevated during the group sessions. It was these experiences that brought Kateri to explore sound as medicine. Kateri Sparrow has participated in the formal study of integral sound healing techniques and is a certified sound healer.

A note on Trauma Awareness
​
I believe being trauma informed is a journey that never ends. I have participated in formal studies to understand physical and emotional cues that a client may exhibit when in need of trauma informed care. I am dedicated to providing a safe space of loving awareness and respect.
​
A wise woman once told me, "trauma awareness is like Plato's cave, you exit the cave following the light, thinking you are out and you understand, only to find that you are now in another cave, and another, infinite caves of opportunity to grow in understanding, always following the light." With this acknowledgement I promise to share with you all of my learnings to nurture your own self growth. This therapy is of value at all stages of life and for all levels of wellbeing.
