Music Therapy
Sarah Jean Harrison, a qualified Music Therapist, offers her professional guidance throughout your surgical journey. Her expertise is focused on alleviating anxiety and promoting improved recovery through the scientifically proven therapeutic benefits of music. You can count on her support to enhance your surgical experience and foster a positive outcome. This is a optional service as part of your pre operative assessment.
Pre -op Consultation
Prior to your surgery, Sarah will conduct a personalised music therapy session with you. She will offer the necessary guidance and support to facilitate your surgical journey, ensuring you are well-prepared and comfortable as you approach the beginning phase of surgery.
Before and During Surgery
Your music therapy started in the days leading up to your surgery will continue on into the day of your surgery as you enter the ward.
On arrival in the surgical theatre as you begin to drift off to sleep, a personalised music or sound playlist designed by you with Sarah, will be played throughout your procedure.
This evidence based music therapy is intended to cultivate a reduction in anxiety, decrease need of sedatives and opioids. It also reduces physiological stress response markers such as heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels. All ensuring a peaceful environment for your healing journey.
Post Surgery and Recovery
As you transition into the post-operative phase Sarah will be here to guide your recovery. If you find that you need additional sessions, Sarah is available to arrange paid sessions on an ad hoc or continuous basis to support your healing journey. Your well-being is our priority, and we're here to assist you every step of the way.
