Mexican woman discovered healing properties in music to help children with autism

Paloma Dueñas is a Mexican born multidisciplinary artist that moved to Miami in 2001. Paloma graduated with honors from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, where she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Music in Voice and Music Therapy.

During her time in Boston, she discovered the impact of music in her life, which quickly expanded into her love for visual arts and photography. She is an experienced music therapist and teaching artist for children with and without developmental disabilities. She specializes in the Autism and sensory disability, providing therapy services to children, helping them learn, develop, and express themselves through the arts.

A few years ago, she started using Acutonics in her therapy treatments, changing the lives of her students and the direction of her career into a sound practitioner. Working with sound vibration opened her up to a world of new discoveries and deeper conversations about how music and sound can benefit people’s health and wellness. In the past few years, Paloma was able to expand and work in South Florida and Mexico. Paloma has worked hard to share how the connection between the human body and subtle elements of music are tightly intertwined, which has allowed her to help treat people in new ways.

Since the beginning of 2020, Paloma has been focused on touching more lives while continuing to grow her practice. With so many restrictions on what she can do with the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a great opportunity to grow her new virtual studio and online community where more and more people can access her work without having to be face-to-face. Furthermore, she is looking forward to being able to connect with more individuals looking for a non-invasive and safe way to receive healing.

The mindset of a business owner is essential to the success of the business. For Paloma, having a clear mind has helped her continue to move forward with her business. She knows exactly who she is as an artist and believes that the way she chooses to express herself has contributed greatly to the development of growth and opportunities for her and her business.
