Beginnings
Tinky
Timmons is a Certified Therapeutic Harp Practitioner. She discovered
the California-based International Harp Therapy Program at a Healing Arts
Conference in Boone two years ago. "The Harp" found me",
she will tell you. Harp Therapy is her new life, and to hear her play you would
think that she had been playing her entire life. She is an exceptional
harpist that is truly appreciated when you experience her "one-ness"
with her harp.
Therapeutic harp is music that helps in the
moment. Ms. Timmons plays both spiritual music and improvisational pieces
in ancient musical modes or sound pitches. She takes the modes of the harp
creating a calming space where there is a possibility for healing. The healing taking place could be as simple as a sense of calmness
and peace.
She has experience playing for people who are
hospitalized, in the end of life situations, people getting massages, meditation
groups and CD's, caregivers groups, nursing homes, memorial services, and many
other situations both joyous and solemn.
Ms. Timmons gives Power Point presentations for
groups interested in finding out more about Therapeutic Harp.
