About Caleb Gilman:
In addition to running my practice, working in Long-Term Care, Private Sector and with individuals, I have been a working musician for over 15 years. I graduated from Humber College in 2011 and have travelled the world, playing guitar, singing, producing & performing in various groups. After going back to school for Music Therapy at Acadia University, I discovered that music can be used to do more than entertain; that it connects us, frees us from pain, and teaches about other perspectives. After completing an internship abroad with young adults on the Autism Spectrum in Israel, I returned to Toronto in 2019 and began Earthtones Music Therapy & Holistic Wellness in order to serve the community; specifically seniors, people with developmental needs, mental health struggles and fellow artists/musicians.
My approach is based on a background on a humanistic and client-centred, psychotherapy-based musical interventions. In using my musical knowledge, mindfulness and yogic approaches to wellness, and utilizing the basics of psychotherapy, goal based work, I aim to create deep connections with my clients and work with their care team or facility to provide the best service. I also use recording technology in my practice and know hundreds songs in various styles.
My goal for Earthtones is to provide each client (individuals, Long-term Care Homes et al, and Private companies) with comprehensive, complete and customized wellness plans, and to offer a wide range of holistic options. Each contractor is fully vetted: a member in good standing with their respective governing body and has completed background checks in order to protect the vulnerable populations we serve.
Although I have a lot of experience working in the Jewish Community, I pride myself on providing culturally sensitive and appropriate interventions and am always eager to learn more about other cultures through music, dance, art, language and food!
