Dr. Reuer's presentations are uplifting, inspiring, and full of positive energy. At the podium, Dr. Reuer performs verbal virtuosity as you'd expect of a board-certified music therapist with more than 30 years of clinical research and hands-on experience gained in medical and psychiatric settings, public schools, community colleges and universities. Her warmth and charisma, refined during her 23 years as an award-winning entrepreneur, are instrumental in captivating and convincing listeners outside academia and medical science that making music not only heals but maintains health and even creates newfound wholeness.

Orchestrating audiences who have little or no musical background, Dr. Reuer conclusively proves that music is an intuitive multitasking power tool that can harmonize and electrify work groups (leadership themes), deliver decrescendo to the stressed and grieving (coping skills themes), groom the codependent for solo performance (lifestyle change themes), and access vocabulary long locked in the memory banks of patients diagnosed with dementia (skill recovery themes).
