“Belinda has been an absolute gift to our family. From the very first session, she created a space of warmth, presence and deep attunement that our daughters, aged 3 and 7, immediately felt safe in. Her gentle, playful approach through music allowed both of them to express themselves freely and connect in ways that words sometimes can’t reach.
Our youngest, who can be shy in new environments, quickly lit up in Belinda’s presence, exploring
rhythm and sound with confidence and joy. Our eldest, who is highly sensitive and deeply intuitive,
found Belinda to be a calm, creative anchor—someone who could meet her exactly where she was emotionally and musically.
The sessions have supported their emotional regulation, creativity, and connection—not only with
themselves, but with each other. Watching them grow in trust, voice and musical confidence under
Belinda’s care has been deeply moving. We feel incredibly grateful to have Belinda as part of our village. Her presence is nurturing, intuitive and truly transformative."

"I am incredibly grateful that we found Belinda. She has been an absolute gift for our daughters. Her
grounded and engaging nature made it easy for my girls to feel comfortable exploring their creativity while also gaining new skills and confidence.
After each session, they left feeling regulated and excited to share what they had explored with me.
I have also seen a remarkable improvement in their ability to recognise and express their emotional
states, a valuable skill that they have carried into other areas of their lives.
Belinda's impact on our family has been profound, and I can't recommend her enough!
Thank you, Belinda, for everything you do."

"My seven year old daughter who has a complex diagnosis of ASD2/ADHD/PDA has been engaging with Belinda both at home and at school weekly for music therapy sessions and it has been a life changing experience.
Belinda’s warmth, depth of knowledge, humour and understanding offers the perfect balance, where she has successfully created a safe container for my daughter to co-regulate and not only absorb all the gifts and intelligence Music Therapy has to offer, but has built a fundamental relationship with Belinda, helping her with reducing her anxiety and feeling safe to express herself through music and conversation.
I cannot recommend Belinda more highly. She is a true gift and I consider ourselves fortunate that we have been able to continue working together to help improve my child's quality of life."

Belinda has been bringing her music therapy skills and joy to my daughter for over a year, on a weekly. Belinda created an instant rapport through her bright smile and gentle, respectful nature. My daughter has a profound disability, is non-verbal, but music is the key to her heart. She loves exploring the variety of instruments Belinda brings each time, but her favourite is the guitar and Belinda’s beautiful voice. Through Belinda’s sessions, we have also incorporated speech and physiotherapy goals by using music to encourage communication and movement. We believe the sessions also assist in decreasing my daughter’s anxiety and increasing an overall sense of calm and well-being.
Belinda uses a person-centred approach and works around my daughter’s current state of being, i.e. her health, tiredness, etc. My daughter requires full assistance to participate, but she has gradually instigated her requests and movements with Belinda’s help, which empowers her and promotes a sense of control. Belinda’s sessions are highly anticipated, and she is comfortable with the recording of the sessions, which is important so the fun can continue during the week! We always complete the session feeling better emotionally, psychologically and physically, counting the days to the next session.
I would highly recommend Belinda and Hummingbird Music Therapy.
