Grief at Work: What No One Talks About (But Everyone Carries)
When a patient passes away, a coworker quits, or your department faces a hard season—grief shows up, whether we name it or not. This comforting talk explores how music and creative tools can help teams process change, support each other, and find a way forward together— when the ache lingers, but work has to continue. It also speaks to the personal losses employees carry from home, often silently. By making space for grief, organizations can build stronger teams, healthier culture, and more resilient leadership.
Creativity Is Not a Luxury: The Science of Why We Need Music, Art & Play
In a world that feels increasingly overwhelmed and over-scheduled, creativity isn’t just a break from reality—it’s a lifeline. Music, art, and play offer powerful ways to reduce stress, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with meaning.
In this engaging keynote, music therapist Erin Aubrey draws from clinical experience and research to show how creative expression helps regulate the nervous system, support mental health, and strengthen relationships. You’ll explore what happens when creativity is not only encouraged but protected—and how it can enhance the way we heal, cope, and connect.
Creative Vitals: Why the Arts Belong in Healthcare
When supporting patients, burnout is common—but so is compassion. Providers give so much of themselves, often without the time or tools to refill their own emotional reserves. In this inspiring and evidence-based keynote, Erin invites healthcare professionals to reimagine music and creativity not as extras, but as essential tools for healing—both for those they serve and for themselves. Blending neuroscience, clinical stories, and accessible strategies, this session explores how music and creativity support emotional regulation, nervous system recovery, and authentic human connection in high-stress environments.
