FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Top Chicago Neurologist Collaborates with Globally-Renown Sound Healer for Local Events on
Music as Medicine

From May 23-24, Northshore’s Dr. Trupti Gokani and Sicilian sound healer Donatella Moltisanti offer
scientific discussions and experiential journeys through the healing powers of music.

Chicago, IL – Our brains are neurologically wired to respond deeply and immediately to music, in ways
that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and promote healing, on the physical and emotional
levels. Through brain imaging studies conducted over the past decade, at leading research institutes
worldwide, scientists can now identify and understand the mechanisms that enable this profound
transformation.

Meanwhile, whether singing lullabies or sacred chants, mothers and religious leaders have known for
millennia what research is only beginning to uncover: Singing has the extraordinary power to uplift,
transport, and heal us. This shift in consciousness is why, after hearing a particular song, our mood may
change abruptly, or we suddenly may feel transported back in time. Singing bypasses our mental process,
both awakening and soothing us at the core, without effort. Among other benefits, we are able to access,
release, and heal from the experience of trauma, without having to recount and risk getting triggered by
painful memories.

In the upcoming events, “Your Brain on Music,” neurologist Trupti Gokani MD will introduce the
concept of music as medicine, discussing how music interacts with the brain, and by extension, the
physical body – activating the body’s internal healing mechanisms. Following this discussion, sound
healer Donatella Moltisanti will guide participants through a profoundly healing journey combining
operatic vocalization, crystal singing bowls, and guided meditation. Dr. Gokani and Donatella will be
available for Q&A following this event.

“Your Brain on Music” events will take place on Thursday May 23 at 7 pm, at Evolution Yoga, located
at 841 Waukegan Rd Glenview, IL 60025, and on Friday May 24 at 1:30 pm, in the Lakeview Room of
East Wing Glenview Senior Center, located at 2400 Chestnut Avenue, Glenview, IL 60026.
