Music for connection, wellbeing and life's big moments
I'm Sophie Sabri, a NZ Registered Music Therapist (NZRMTh) and singer-songwriter based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
I offer online music therapy across New Zealand and in person on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane from January 2027.
I also write personalised songs with you, play home concert, offer music-based support for NDIS, aged care and mental health and supervision to health professionals and students
No musical experience needed. Sessions in English or French.
How I can help
Music therapy
Using music to support wellbeing, communication, confidence and connection, for children, teens and adults. Extensive experience in disability, autism and mental health.
Personalised songs & home concerts
A song written together for a birthday, a loved one or a life moment. Or invite me to play an intimate concert in your home. Songs online, worldwide.
Music & community support
For NDIS participants, older adults and people living with mental health challenges on the Sunshine Coast: gigs, choirs, jams and writing your own song. Support work, not music therapy.
Professional supervision
Online, one-to-one or in small groups, for music therapists, creative arts therapists, health professionals and students in Australia and NZ.
For organisations
Music circles, group songwriting and group programmes for services, schools and community groups.
Music therapy in Australia & New Zealand
For children, teens and adults. No musical experience needed.

Kia ora, I'm Sophie
I've spent 15 years' working in disability and mental health, 8 of them as a music therapist.
I'm also a singer-songwriter and performer, and I believe music belongs to everyone.
"Music has no boundaries, anyone can feel it, anyone is musical, it carries our culture and it connects us within as well as to the outside." – as quoted in The Post

About Musicwell
Musicking for wellbeing
Musicwell brings people together through music.
Whether it's a therapy session, a song for someone you love, or a night out at a gig, everything I do is about music being for everyone, whatever your ability, background or age.
Inclusive
Everyone is musical. No experience needed, and every way of communicating is welcome.
Strengths-based
We start from what you enjoy and what you can do, and build from there.
Community
Music connects us. Making music together builds friendships, belonging and a place in your community.
