My name is Guy and I run Hands On Percussion.

All Hands On Percussion interventions are based on Polyvagal Theory, the science of feeling safe and regulated. I am a fully qualified Safe and Sound Protocol Practitioner and offer the Safe and Sound Protocol treatment program as well as live music making experiences.

Music is medicine! I am also a qualified Sound Therapy Practitioner and deliver 1:1 or group sound baths and drum journeys.

I have used drums and percussion to enhance wellbeing for over 20 years in many nurseries, schools, community groups and psychological therapy clinics. I have also delivered training programs for music services, schools, Early years educational settings, Alternative Provisions and Learning partnerships. I believe that rhythm and sound are powerful tools that can enhance our wellbeing as we experience joy, creativity and belonging.
