About

Who is Kimberly Sena Moore?

Hi! My name is Kimberly Sena Moore. I am a board-certified music therapist and Neurologic Music Therapist who started the Music Therapy Maven in February 2009.

I received my Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy from the University of Iowa, then moved to San Diego, CA for six months for my clinical training internship at Musicworx of California. Next came Fort Collins, CO, where I earned my Masters of Music in Music Therapy at Colorado State University. I fell in love with the Rockies and decided, if I could make it work, I would stay.

Well–5 years, one husband, two kids, and one career later I am making it work. I am the founder and director of Neurosong Music Therapy Services, Inc., a contractual agency providing music therapy services to hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and mental health treatment centers in northern Colorado. I also help manage my husband’s online music education software company, Beyond the Notes, Inc., learning as much as possible about internet business, product development, website maintenance, and order fulfillment.

As a music therapist, my main interests are in the areas of trauma and attachment, special needs, and neurorehabilitation. I have advanced training in Neurologic Music Therapy, am an NMT Fellow, and have taken the HealthRhythms training. I currently serve on the Board of the Colorado Association for Music Therapy, on the Exam Committee for the Certification Board for Music Therapists, and on the Colorado State Task Force promoting state recognition of the MT-BC credential. In addition, I am an active presenter locally, regionally, and nationally.

Why I started the Music Therapy Maven?

The primary reason I started the Music Therapy Maven was to provide you with resources and information related to music therapy, music and brain/behavior function, and small business development. I fully admit these areas interest me, but my hope is that the information will also benefit YOU. The focus of this blog is to provide information and resources that will help make you the best music therapist possible.

Since you are the main reason this blog exists, I will always encourage comments and even emails asking me questions about music therapy. Seriously, I do. Never feel like you can’t leave a comment on this blog. It’s the conversations we have and the relationships we’ve developed through these conversations that make this blog worthwhile.

Disclosures and Relationships

Although the primary purpose of this blog is to provide you with information, you will notice a “Suggested Resources” page. All the products and providers I recommend on this page are ones I know and trust…and some of them I have used myself. Additionally, you will see other types of advertisements from time to time. It’s good business practice to have multiple income streams and I wanted to see if it worked for blogging, too!

In the spirit of full disclosure, here are the ways this blog makes money:

• Suggested Resources — Some of the resources I suggest allow me to have an affiliate link to their site. This means that, if you purchase one of these resources, I will make an affiliate commission.
• Suggested Books or Products — Almost every book, CD, or electronic product I suggest on the Music Therapy Maven will have an affiliate link to my Amazon Affiliate account. If you buy the product after clicking on my link, I will make a 4 to 5% commission.
• Google AdWords — You will notice a text or image ad on almost every page and post you visit. If you click on one of the ad links, I will make a small commission off your click.

Know that if I put a product, book, or resource on the Music Therapy Maven, I have checked it out, like the product, and trust who is providing it.

And that’s it. I wanted to provide you with that disclosure in a spirit of openness and transparency. Now time to buy!
