Prior to studying music therapy, Karyn worked as an occupational therapist both in Cape Town and London, specialising in neurology and geriatrics. After completing the Masters in Music Therapy programme in 2007 and registering with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, Karyn worked as Music Therapist and project manager at MusicWorks, an NPO that provides music therapy services in under-resourced areas of Cape Town. Here she worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of community settings. More recently, Karyn has been expanding her work as a private practitioner, with an interest in special needs, trauma, elderly/Dementia care and palliative care. Karyn is the co-founder and co-director of ‘Drumming with a Difference’, a small business that provides training and team-building experiences using Djembe drumming and creative arts. She was the Music Therapy representative on the South African National Arts Therapies Organisation from 2013-2015 and is currently a research supervisor for Masters (MMus Music Therapy) students at University of Pretoria.
