About Jacey
Your Wheatbelt based Drum Therapy Facilitator
Hi, I’m Jacey Brown
Registered Counsellor, and Certified Rhythm2Recovery® and DRUMBEAT® Practitioner.
My Experience
My experience as a counsellor has led me me to working with some amazing resilient people who are:
experiencing Domestic & Family Violence or perpetrating abuse
living with substance abuse or alcohol dependency
grieving the loss of a loved one, or loss of themselves
victim to sexual abuse as a child, or as an adult;
living with co-dependency and attachment issues;
needing healthier communication styles;
living with special needs; neurodiversity challenges; loss of sight; or the ability to move as freely as others;
looking for support on how to best meet their Childs/Teens needs, or healthier ways to discipline and set healthy boundaries - remember we were all a child/teen once.
Music has been my healer. I turned to a drum kit after losing a very close loved one, and needing to release various emotions such as Anger, Resentment, Loneliness, Frustration , Fear, Sadness and the injustice I felt.
The power & healing frequency of the drums, the bass and the freedom of playing, as those emotions released from my body onto the kit. I began to feel more grounded, and the frequencies fired up and excited my soul.
My journey through drumming led me to African Djembe’s and drumming in community circles, then onto learning both DRUMBEAT and Rhythm2Recovery, which form the core of this business.
I believe my soul purpose in life is to help others heal through the art of expression on the drums and together with my micro skills in counselling Combined - we have Beat It Drum Therapy.
My roles as a Counsellor (or Life Coach if you prefer), Facilitator and Parent (which is by far the toughest job of them all), has helped shape who I am today - humble, grateful, resilient and empowered.
