About Janna Cantu
Neurologic Music Therapist
As a Board-Certified Music Therapist , I get to witness neuro-rehabilitation that looks miraculous—
but it's actually brain science!
Welcome. I am so glad you are here.
If you are navigating severe, long-term trauma, you already know that recovery can hit a wall.
When your nervous system is stuck in chronic survival mode, healing requires a specialized language that speaks directly to the brain.
As a Neurologic Music Therapist (NMT) with 15 years of experience building clinical programs in hospitals and trauma treatment centers, I provide highly specialized concierge care for women ready for their brains and bodies to finally speak the same language.

If you are navigating severe, long-term trauma, you already know that recovery can hit a wall. When your nervous system is stuck in chronic survival mode, healing requires a specialized language that speaks directly to the brain.
As a Neurologic Music Therapist (NMT) with 15 years of experience building clinical programs in hospitals and trauma treatment centers, I provide highly specialized concierge care for women ready for their brains and bodies to finally speak the same language.
My practice is built on a singular truth from a pioneer of our field, Dr. Michael Thaut:
"Music is not an aesthetic pastime or a cultural luxury.
Music is a core rehabilitative stimulus that can activate, regulate, and deactivate neural processes to drive neuroplasticity and functional recovery."
Grounded in Neuroscience, Proven in Hospitals
My fascination with the science of sound began at age 12.
I discovered that adding a metronome to my violin practice made me feel immediately focused and anchored—as if I were rooted in time, yet completely outside of it. Complex music became easier. I had found my flow.
Years later, as a professional violinist, I witnessed something that changed my life. During a concert, a young boy with complex medical needs bypassed the social experience entirely. Instead, he wrapped his body around a large speaker, hugging the sound vibrations and talking to it like a beloved pet.
I needed to know why his body craved that vibration.
That day, I left the applause of the concert stage behind. I entered the field of Neurologic Music Therapy to understand the profound biological effects of sound.
Today, with the help of Functional MRI, we can actually see the brain responding to sound in real-time. A simple rhythmic pulse causes chaotic brain activity to line up smoothly, giving a dysregulated nervous system something predictable to anticipate that begins to scaffold functioning.

A Predictable Path to Trauma Recovery.
Trauma fractures your sense of predictability and safety. Because the core elements of music—like rhythm, meter, and frequency—are inherently structured and deeply subcortical , they act as a non-invasive backdoor into the nervous system.
Although Neurologic Music Therapy is a complex system with 20 patented techniques, I translate this rigorous clinical data into protocols that feel intimate and beautifully experienced, for a gentle, effective, one-on-one trauma healing experience.
We do not force you to relive your darkest moments.
Instead, we use standardized neurological techniques to tune up your nervous system, retrain your brain, and reconnect your body, creating the physiological safety required for lasting recovery.

Discovering that Music was Medicine inspired me to help as many women as possible bring their own minds and bodies back into perfect harmony through a flexible, resilient nervous system.
I'd be honored to help you get there, too !
