Dr. Minton has spent years exploring how rhythm, harmony, and sound can touch the human nervous system — helping us restore balance, calm, and connection, especially in times of change. Her approach reminds us that healing isn’t just about the mind or the body, but also about how we listen, to ourselves, to others, and to the music of life itself. In this conversation, we’ll explore: *The intersection of music, science, the brain and heart. *How melodies can soothe our stress, anxiety depression. *How healing tones can even help animals and babies. *How the brain responds to beauty, and why music remains one of our most ancient and powerful forms of medicine. Excited for you to listen!
