Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health: 
Elizabeth Byrd (BM: North Carolina School of the Arts; The Juilliard School; Certified Facilitator: MusicForPeople.org) has applied her skills as a classically-trained cellist in intuitive therapy work since The Healing Cello™ was first introduced in 1998 by Dr. John Upledger, the originator of CranioSacral Therapy. For several years Liz served on the clinical staff at The Upledger Institute in Florida as the Tonal Vibration Therapist for CranioSacral sessions. Working side-by-side with Dr. Upledger, she obtained his unique perspective on CST training. Upon moving to New York City, Ms. Byrd’s Tonal Vibration Therapy was offered at The Continuum for Health and Healing - Beth Israel Medical Center and the New York Physical Therapy Institute. She has presented many Healing Clinics throughout the country in conjunction with CST Workshops and has twice been an invited speaker for the Society for the Study of Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM) and Beyond the Dura Conference. In Portland, she introduced her work at the BODY, MIND, SPIRIT 2012 Conference.
​She offers Healing Cello™ private sessions and integrated modality sessions with other therapists.
Collaboration Interests: 
Integrative Sessions* - in collaboration with therapists

*The clinical studies at The Upledger Institute have shown results indicating that tissue and emotional releases, using Ms. Byrd’s cello techniques of Tonal Vibration Therapy, can accelerate the healing process by working together with other healing modalities (CST, massage, psychology, neurology, chiropractic, acupuncture, aromatherapy, and others).

Ongoing research connecting Cellos Vibrations and Tones in collaboration with multi-modalities.

Now in process of developing Training Certification for Cello Tonal Vibration Therapy. My research and developing skills will be offered thru my new school Cello Sound Healers.
