Episode: Anxiety Calming Music with Barbara Minton, PhD

In this episode, host Laura Ollinger, Teen and Parent Well-Being Coach, talks with Dr. Barbara Minton, PhD Psychologist and founder of musicandhealing.net, about how music can calm anxiety, improve focus, and support emotional wellness.

Dr. Minton shares how her neuroscience-based approach uses specific music frequencies to shift the brain into states of calm and healing. Her new album Calm the Storm, created with world-renowned guitarist Peppino D’Agostino, is designed to reduce anxiety, support sleep, and ease chronic pain.
