“Wellness, Wellplayed: The Power of a Playlist” (2021)
Music is powerful. It soothes us, sorts us out, and transports us to a different place. It helps us to remember, and can help us to forget. Put on the right song at the right time, and you will smile, cry, tap your feet, or just breathe a contented “ah.” In Wellness, Wellplayed, acclaimed music therapist Jennifer Buchanan shows us how to use music playlists with purpose, as a bridge to something deeper within ourselves—and a way to address our human need to feel, create, and connect.
“Tune in: Use Music Intentionally to Curb Stress, Boost Morale, and Restore Health. a Music Therapy Approach to Life” (2020)

"Tune In is about people and the music-based practices that have worked for them, and gives actual strategies to use at home and at the office. The goal is simple: I want you to feel better, empowered, and uplifted through music!"A useful, enlightening and ear-opening read, Tune In explores:- The "triggering" power of music - to emotional states both good and bad - and how to use this information to your advantage- Intentional listening: how to find the right tunes, and employ them at the right time in the right way- What music therapy is, and how working with a music therapist can change your perspective, wellbeing, and life- Simple, personalized strategies and exercises to get the most out of music
“Wellness Incorporated: The Health Entrepreneur's Handbook” (2019)
Health and wellness businesses have unique challenges, opportunities, and metrics—until now there has never been a business resource specifically for health entrepreneurs. Renowned music therapist Jennifer Buchanan shows you how to measure your success and deliver your service in a way that blends health, heart, and mastery. It is possible to build a business that endures, without compromising your own health and values. Like many health entrepreneurs, Buchanan started with a huge mission. She wanted to help people in their pursuit of optimum health. But after running her business for twenty years, even with thousands of clients and a loyal staff, she felt burned out and not sure if her business would make it. Rather than quit, Buchanan went on an intense quest to prove her company’s viability and identify the key components of successful healthcare practices—and in Wellness Incorporated she shares these essential elements so your own business can prosper.
