Meet Skye Butterfield, MT-BC, NMT, a board-certified and Neurologic Music Therapist, and a vital part of our community!
Skye’s journey into the healing power of music is backed by an impressive background. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Oboe Performance from San Jose State University and earned her equivalency degree in Music Therapy from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Through her diverse internship with the LA-based private practice Rhythm and Truth, Skye has gained a vast range of experience—supporting individuals in memory care, rehabilitation, acute psychiatric settings, mental health across the lifespan, and individuals of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Her therapeutic approach is deeply intertwined with her artistry. When she isn't working clinically, Skye is one half of the music duo Embracing Oceans. She uses her songwriting and platform as a powerful tool for social justice and mental health advocacy, partnering with organizations for crowdfunding and songwriting workshops to bring musical healing directly to the public.
When she steps outside of her musical stratosphere, Skye channels her creativity into designing custom lampshades and tackling unique DIY projects, all while forever devouring all things philosophy.
Join us in welcoming Skye!
