Kaylee Tilton, MT-BC
I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and has had a passion for music for as long as I can remember.
From an early age, I found that connection with people with disabilities was made easier through the sharing of music; like when I would dance to disco songs with my cousin who is on the autism spectrum after school, or when I used music to reconnect with my father following his coma and traumatic brain injury. I've found that no matter what obstacles laid in the way of connection and communication music always has the power to breakthrough.
When I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston it was no surprise that I found a passion for the work of music therapy. I became board-certified when I moved back home in 2013 and started my own private practice in music therapy.
Ever since earning my board-certification credentials I've been in love with the work of music therapy in memory care and hospice. Music in this setting has the power to "awaken" clients and allow them to reminisce, speak and sing with ease, and share precious moments with their loved ones.
I am thrilled to be a part of the CAN team whose mission and values are the same ones that have guided my work for my entire professional career.
