These are some comments regarding in-person therapeutic music sessions and solo performances:
Your music is powerful, soothing, and calming. It and you really establish an atmosphere within which we can connect with the deeper parts of ourselves; the parts that need healing and the parts that provide support and comfort for those in need.
Your visit was the most uplifting time of my entire week. That was the only time I was completely away from Cancer in my mind…
Thank you for bringing her this joy and for enriching the final journey of her life.
When you played Ashokan Farewell, my heart soared.
Your playing was the absolute perfect touch for the reception. I could not have been more pleased.
Your music today was gorgeous! It seems like magic.
May thanks for your special talent that graced our day!
You are a gift. Thanks for sharing yourself.
Just thought I’d pass along something my husband told me recently. He was listening to the radio when they started playing some hammered dulcimer music that caught his attention because it was so beautiful. And then he heard them announce that it was you!

You made my day. Thank you so much for a calming experience.
That was beautiful. My mother loved the dulcimer, and I felt like she was there with me enjoying the music and relaxing into it and the serenity.
What a wonderful way to wind down the day, so very soothing.
That was a lovely and peaceful expression. I appreciated the companionship, the non-verbal communication, and the spirit!
The music you offered tonight beckoned me to join. And once here I wanted only to focus on being, on breathing, and sharing space. It was rejuvenating!
Thanks for fostering quiet reflective time
I am transported!
This was really healing and much needed.
After a stressful week you have really helped me find some peace!
So powerful and healing.
It was a deeply relaxing, meditative experience.
So calming. just what I needed
Your music brought peace to my mind.
The moment you started playing I could feel myself breathing with it, calming.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was simply gorgeous. We feel cleansed.
Thank you, Helen, for the grace and peace of your music.
Thank you. I feel nourished :-)
I can’t begin to tell you how meaningful this experience has been to me.
