“Our parent education event with Julie aka DJ Hesta Prynn was absolutely amazing. The discussion on Music as Therapy and exploring the powerful connection between music and mental well being was super fun and fascinating. We learned ways to use the healing power of music in our relationships with ourselves and our kids. Everyone was fully engaged throughout and didn’t want it to end! Julie was so warm and such a wealth of knowledge, she created a safe and educational space that allowed us to get vulnerable and really connect with each other. Parents are still stopping me around school to share how much they loved it and what a great experience they had.”
