Gillian Wortley

It has been a passion of mine to bring music and wellness together. Seeing its effects, most profoundly in educational contexts, I want to bring the knowledge and experience I have gained, into healthcare spaces by empowering all types of caregivers - through our MUSIC CARE CERTIFY programme so they can integrate music into regular practice - to enhance the care they deliver.

Gillian Wortley is a Music Educator who has brought music and the arts into creating rich and caring holistic educational settings. She spent many years living and teaching in the UK and has worked in both the Toronto and Simcoe County District School Boards. Gillian has researched how mindfulness can improve attention, learning, and our general well being and is excited to be a part of the music and wellness synergy through Room 217.
