"At a time like this when routine is out the door, singing allows us to have some predictability in our environment." ~Allison Davies
"Every little cell in my body is happy, every little cell in my body is well … " ~Allison Davies, neurologic music therapist, on Corona Virus 2020
"My motivation didn't come from the career prospects — it came from my passion for music and for working with people and helping them." ~Allison Davies
"Singing the song, 'Every Little Cell', designed to help manage anxiety, helps regulate breathing." ~Allison Davies (News: Coronavirus anxieties eased with Tasmanian therapist's song for kids, ABC Northern Tasmania By Rick Eaves, March 28, 2020)
"When we experience anxiety or dis-regulation or we're in survival mode, generally our pre-frontal cortex kind of switches off. … And that's the part of the brain that we need to work so we can analyse what's going on right now, make decisions and stay calm." ~Allison Davies
"When we experience melody, it activates more of our brain than any other thing that research has shown us." ~Allison Davies
"When we sing really simple little tunes, we can move emotions through us so they don't become pent up. … A bonus is that when we sing, it's an outbreath. A chant creates a nice controlled inbreath and out again through singing. … And when we sing something over and over, we are creating a sense of predictability." ~Allison Davies
