"Jacqui at Empowering Voices has made a HUGE difference in my son’s life! Teaching Jack the language of music has opened up news methods of communication for him that he did not have before. I can’t say enough good things about Empowering Voices, nor could I recommend them more! Thank you!!!!!"

"We’ve been seeing Kate for music therapy since 2023, and I can’t say enough about how grateful we are to have her in our lives. When she left the previous center (which was conveniently close to us), we were so disappointed—until we were lucky enough to find out online that she had opened her own practice. Kate is truly exceptional. She’s incredibly kind, patient, and flexible. My son always leaves his sessions with her calm, regulated, and happy. She has a gift for connecting through music and creating a safe, nurturing space. We’re so thankful that he can continue working with her. The new location is beautiful inside! So excited to have many more years with Kate!"

"My husband and I went to the new place that Jacqui and her partner run and we were both very impressed with how homelike the atmosphere was and also very welcoming. My stepson loves going to music therapy and always lights up when we tell him it’s time for Jack and Jacqui :) music is something that is not only therapeutic but also makes a difference in someone’s overall wellbeing and sense of purpose. My husband and I both extremely grateful for the learning experience and overall enjoyment that Jack has at music therapy and are very appreciative for the program."

"I've tried many different types of therapies and therapists with my son but Kate, she's the only one who could break through his walls and get him to open up in a meaningful way. My son adores her and looks forward to seeing her each week. For my family as a whole, she's been a godsend and was truly one of the first people to really listen to us and not sweep our concerns under the rug. Knowing how well she does with my extremely complex child, I'd recommend Kate to anyone."

"My son really loved working with Jacqui! She is very patient and professional. My son who has severe autism and Down syndrome is very particular with people and they paired together well right from the start. His progress was awesome! I would definitely recommend this place!"
