Healing Music Therapy

 

mission:

therapeutic, rehabilitative, refreshing music

And it came to pass…that David took a harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well…”     Samuel 16:23  

 

 

Vibemaster's Mission is to reach people at hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and rehabilitative centers. With public events a percentage of any proceeds goes toward developing our healing music therapy mission in Milwaukee.

 

 

KT Rusch and Saskia Nassalang give positive-vibed, all ages healing music therapy using guitars, voice and bass and/or DJ style.  We are conscious of lyrical content and sound levels are appropriate to the situation or event!  

 

We encourage positive, loving, and nurturing sounds and lyrics.  

 

"Love is the glue that holds the universe together -Teilhard de Chardin

Testimonies


“Yes, yes, yes to all your healing, regenerative, replenishing possibilities.”  Janine Arseneau Founder Grandmother’s Without Borders

 

 

"…music on the weekends! It is such a needed and wonderful modality and sometimes our staffing is thinner on the weekends. This way I figure we can spread the love between art and music and better meet the needs of our kiddos.  A tremendous thank you to both you and Saskia for sharing your time and talents with our kids.  You are appreciated and bring light to their time with us at CHW."   Julie Johannes Children's Hospital Child Life Specialist

 

“KT and Saskia travel the lighter side of pop-reggae, taking time to explore various cultural paths.” Shepherd Express  

“Rusch and fellow musician Saskia are sponsoring a Rally for Compassion to raise awareness for human rights violations…”  Shepherd Express
