About
We're dedicated to your child's wellbeing.
Rhythm & Bloom Therapy provides early-intervention services for infants and toddlers in south-central Pennsylvania through a unique blend of music therapy and special instruction. Founded by board-certified music therapist Joanna Kirby Karns, MT-BC, the practice partners with families to support developmental growth in natural home and community settings. Using rhythm, melody, and musical play, sessions target communication, motor, cognitive, and social-emotional skills. Services are free to families who qualify through their county’s Early Intervention program. By coaching caregivers and embedding learning into daily routines, Rhythm & Bloom helps children grow, connect, and thrive through the joy and structure of music.
