“Live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find eternity in each moment.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
My research interest involves people from all age groups listening to
personalised music (tuned to 432 Hz) and nature sounds, all combined with colour.
This research will take a person-centred approach, encompassing personhood,
lived experience and spirituality with the goal of improving one's quality of life and wellbeing.
Ronald Pope (my Uncle) and I have been working on a music, sound, and colour app
that may be used for people's enjoyment, healing and wellbeing.
Our app is currently a work in progress and is taking longer than planned to bring to life -
but we hope to begin recruiting participants to trial it in the near future!
We are incredibly excited about this; stay tuned for more.
I will keep you updated here!
Best wishes,
Paula
