Greenville BPW Club features Music Therapist Ashlee Carder!

Ashlee Carder

Greenville, OH. The Greenville BPW will host their monthly dinner meeting, Thursday, November 12th at the Brethren’s Retirement Community’s Private Dining Room @ 6:30 pm. The program will include a presentation by Ashlee Carder, Board Certified Music Therapist from State of the Heart Hospice. Ashlee will explain what Music Therapy is, how it is used, demonstrate some relevant exercises and discuss how we can use the music therapy toolbox for our own and our loved ones’ wellness. Ashlee studied music therapy at Ohio University for 4 years, completed a 6 month internship at State of the Heart Hospice, and took the board certification exam for music therapist in May of 2014. Ashlee works for State of the Heart Hospice, a non-profit hospice agency that provides quality care for patients and families in western Ohio and eastern Indiana, serving 12 counties in those two states. State of the Heart Hospice provides care for patients and families in the end of life, after treatment is no longer successful or possible. State of the Heart, wants to ensure the best possible quality of life for you and loved ones at the end of life. As a music therapist, Ashlee uses music therapeutically for non-musical goals, such as pain management, connection, sensory stimulation, relaxation, spiritual and emotional support. Each session may look different, using music to best fit the needs of patients and families at that time.
