Somatic Music Therapy
Rooted in the wisdom of your body.
Led by compassionate curiosity.
Somatic Music Therapy is a holistic approach that brings your mind, body, and heart back into connection so you can feel more like you again.
Using Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), we gently explore the protective responses your body has learned: numbing, procrastinating, bracing, reacting, withdrawing. They are signs of an intelligent system that learned to anticipate danger based on past experience, and those patterns can run on autopilot long after the original event has passed. Your mind may know that you're safe, yet your body keeps reacting as though the past is happening right now.
That gap between what you know and what your body does is exactly where this work lives. By getting curious about those patterns rather than pushing through them, new options begin to open up. The body starts to learn that it doesn't need to stay on high alert. Slowly, what felt stuck begins to move.
As a Music Therapist (MTA), I also bring music into the work, not as performance, but as support. Rhythm, sound, voice, listening, and sometimes songwriting can make the process feel lighter, more playful, and less intense. And sometimes no music is needed at all.

What To Expect
No two sessions look alike. What stays consistent is the approach: curious, body-led, and paced for your system.
We start with a free connection call to get a feel for the work and find out if it's a fit. Your body will know quickly.
If you're joining in person, my dog will almost certainly race to greet you first, if you're ok with that. She's very committed to her role on the welcome committee.
From there, we begin with a simple check-in and follow your body's signals from there. We get curious together about what your body has been quietly holding. You don't need to share your whole story for the work to be effective.
Music comes in when it serves the process: rhythm, instruments, voice, active listening, or lyric reflection. It can make the work feel lighter, more playful, and less intense. And sometimes silence is the better guide, creating more space to hear what your body is showing. No musical experience or skill needed. Your body leads, and we follow.
Sometimes the work is quiet and tender. Sometimes it's creative. Sometimes we do kind of weird things on purpose: small, playful experiments that invite your nervous system to try something new. The body often responds better to curiosity and play than to pressure. Healing doesn't have to be heavy to invite real change.
People come to this work for many different reasons. Some arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Others notice patterns repeating, emotions that are hard to regulate, or a quiet sense that something isn't working the way it once did. These aren't signs that something is wrong. They're signals from a nervous system that has been adapting for a long time.
Some areas we may work with:
Anxiety and chronic stress / Low mood or depression / Trauma and nervous system dysregulation / Emotional overwhelm or burnout / Life transitions / Relationship patterns / Self-esteem and identity / Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions
As the work unfolds, people often find that their mind, body, and heart start to get back in the same room. More presence. More steadiness. A little more space between the trigger and the reaction. Over time, there is often more capacity for joy, for rest, and for feeling more like yourself again. Not because something was fixed, but because your system found a little more room to breathe.

Still Wondering?
If something's been holding you back from reaching out, these questions are a good place to start
No. We start with what’s here today. Your body’s wisdom shows the priority — and we don’t need to go into every detail for the work to be effective.
This work is gentle, paced, and consent-led. The aim is to support more steadiness and capacity in your real life, not to push you past what your system can hold.
No. Music is optional, and no musical experience is needed. When we use music, it’s not performance, it’s support for the process. I am trained to make music accessible for anyone. And, sometimes silence is the best guide.
Sometimes, and only if it’s supportive. Touch is always optional and always consent-led. We can do powerful work without any touch at all. If touch is ever considered, we’ll talk about it first, you can say yes, no, or not today, and you can change your mind at any point.
Both. Sessions are available in person in Salmon Arm, BC, or online via secure Telehealth video.
That’s what the complimentary call is for, a short guided experience so your body can feel what it’s like and we can choose a clear next step. You’ll know if it’s a yes.
I have been looking into alternative modalities of healing in the last few years and after working with Roxy, I had immediate results. It was so nice to receive hands on care while working through some tough childhood memories, in a safe space with a kind soul I trust inherently. I have recommended her to others and would do so again. Words can't explain the feeling of release after a session with Roxy. Truly life changing to work with her.

Hi, I'm Roxy Roth
I believe in the healing power of music, the magic of whimsy, the strength of community, and the wisdom we all carry within.
For over 20 years, I've worked as a Music Educator and accredited Music Therapist (MTA), supporting people of all ages through a playful, creative approach. I'm currently an Advanced Year Student in Somatic Experiencing®, bringing a nervous-system-led, body-informed lens to everything I do.
I'm also a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and have a Degree in Clownology with 25 years of creating joyful characters and sharing laughter with audiences. I believe play is serious medicine, and music is one of the most natural ways we remember how to play.
In sessions, I track an internal signal that helps me sense what we might be curious about next. Sometimes the work feels quiet and tender. Sometimes it includes warmth, creativity, and a little lightness, because that's often how we find our way back to the part of us that still knows how to feel, imagine, and return to centre.
Rooted in beautiful Salmon Arm as an entrepreneur, wife, and mom, I'm deeply grateful to do what I love and love what I do.
Let's find your groove.
You don't need a perfect week, more willpower, or a quiet house to start. This work is built for real life: full schedules, full families, and tender systems.
And when there's a little more space inside, joy and play often start to find their way back. Steady is closer than you think.
