The Power of Music with Brenda Bowen Cox

Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell

Send us a Text Message.

When we choose music to listen to, we create atmosphere and emotion. Music can lift us up and it can bring us down. It can bring back memories of special moments, and it can remind us of friends and family. Today's guest, Brenda Bowen Cox is a harpist with music therapy training who has dedicated her skills to sharing through hospice and palliative care, as well as through concerts and presentations. Brenda has been formally trained and holds degrees in Music Education, Deaf Education, and Audiology.
Have you ever felt the thrill of music connecting with your spine? Perhaps you have been stiff and sore, and within minutes you find more mobility while in the presence of a gifted musician.
Playing for the powerful Movement Made Easy class over the last year, as well as the Tai Chi class, Brenda has intuitively found her voice to match the movements we are weaving through, and she has inspired our bodies to let go and unwind.
As with many other episodes over the last two seasons, the experiential part of the podcast provides you, the listener, with the opportunity to transform through our conversation and with the musical selections that evolve.
Be sure to make your cup of tea, relax and get ready to be transformed while you listen to the Be Well with Michelle Greenwell podcast.
