Five years ago I made the decision to bring staff on board the team at Rhythm, with Lauren one of my first ever staff members to join the team.
I still remember the day she joined the team, excited to be a part of the music therapy community and stoked with her goodie bag of rhythm instruments and her official rhythm tee.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of watching her journey unfold, from therapy assistant and student music therapist while completing her Masters, to now working alongside her as a Registered Music Therapist. It’s been so special to watch her grow, both personally and professionally, and to see where her career has taken her.
Today is a bittersweet day for us here at Rhythm, as we say goodbye to Lauren (and her trusty sidekick Murphy) as she heads off on her next adventure.
Lauren, thank you for the past five years. Thank you for the care and compassion you’ve brought to Rhythm, our participants, families and the team. You’ve been such an important part of our story, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to watch your journey from those very early days to the incredible therapist you are today.
Murphy, you are truly one of a kind and as I’ve always said, a golden retriever wrapped in a border collie’s body. I know everyone will miss having you run to greet them, and that you’ll miss our sneaky treats when your Mum isn’t looking.
Lauren and Murphy will be missed, but always honorary members of the Rhythm team ~ we wish them all the best for their next chapter 🫶🏼
