Welcome to  Musical Wellness

 

Wow! We are excited to have returned to Ottawa, Canada and are looking forward to delivering our famous Drumming Circles, Guitar and Ukulele Lessons, and House Concerts this summer! 

 

This month we are focusing on DRUMMING CIRCLES for seniors and those with developmental disabilities. If you are a activity coordinator in a senior home or group home you will recognise the hands-on nature of drumming circles and the way they engage each resident to participate. For more information go to the ‘contact page’ tab. 

 

Also, we are looking for hosts to run our ever popular HOUSE CONCERTS. These are ticketed events featuring local  Canadian artists, giving private concerts to your select audience in your home - sound interesting? For more information go to the ‘contact page’ tab. 

 

If you are interested in understanding some of the miracles we see, and the fun we have serving you, then take a listen to my 3rd album ‘Rua Isaltina’ released last year and recorded in Brasil. It's streaming on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/6LpOWps72DJc9EYnVzFPRX?si=8QZfpi_nTqmqSIzcPUgK_Q   or if you like what you hear, available for sale at https://musicalwellness.com/music-store

 

Let's have fun this summer!!!

The message is so hopeful and determined. You managed to convey in such a gentle and inspiring way, what every Ukrainian is feeling and knows deep within their hearts.
