About Next Stage Drumming, LLCNext Stage Drumming, LLC is a private drum therapy and coaching practice that is innovative, holistic, and evidenced-based, for the purpose of boosting mental and physical health, improving communication, coordination, focus, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. Results have been seen in three months or less with teens and adults with anxiety, stress, ADHD, autism, and other special needs, as well as entrepreneurs who need anxiety and stress relief, as well as more clarity, creativity, and productivity. Services can be delivered virtually or in person in Fuquay-Varina, NC.

What differentiates you from the competition?I'm the only certified drum therapist in NC and one of 3 in the South. While there are many drum teachers and drum circle facilitators, what I do involves way more than drumming! 93% success rate with private clients in 8 sessions or less.

What are your top selling services or products that your company offers?All my programs are customized and science-based - with a dash of rock and a sprinking of faith! I teach specific beats and rhythms for specific purposes, based on the client's needs. I also include plenty of encouragement, & coaching and consulting.

If you had one message to get across to future customers, what would it be?You're never to old and it's never too late...to rock what you've got! You've been given your gifts for a reason. It's time to use them to make a difference!

What is the biggest marketing challenge that you will face in the upcoming year?My biggest challenge is explaining that what I do is different than anything that is out there and to convey the value, especially to those who are neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, and gifted).

What trends are shaping the health and wellness industry right now?I think people are becoming more aware that there are natural ways to boost your health and that it’s not just one and done. Wellness and self-care take time and intention.

How do you approach holistic well-being with your clients or audience?I not only provide practice exercises to do at home to help them with the issues they’re facing, but I also provide tips about diet and exercise, as well as the importance of boosting their mindset and their faith.

What challenges do you see in helping people sustain healthy habits?I find that people are very impatient and want instant results, which is why many parents want to put their kids on meds instead of trying a program that will take 3 months. Once they see how easy it is to establish a system and calendar reminders, they understand that this something that can flow naturally, if you let it.

How do you tailor programs for different fitness or health needs?I make sure to do a preliminary phone call, followed by a “Meet & Greet”, either virtually or in-person. People often only mention 1 or 2 things they need help with, but it’s often several things that are all connected. Some, like a kid or teen who is a non-verbal autistic generally needs drum therapy for emotional regulation and to help improve communication and coordination. A stressed out teen or adult generally needs some coaching and consulting, in addition to drum therapy.

What role does technology play in supporting wellness today?As they say: There’s an app for that! I generally introduce my clients to different scheduling apps, since most have no organizational system and no time management skills. I also recommend music channels and apps that have calming music. Those who have a FitBit can track their heart rate and calories burned while drumming (generally 270 calories per 30 minutes of drumming).

Can you share a story of transformation you’ve witnessed?I’ll give you 2: 1) A non-verbal 6 year-old started speaking words after only 3 drum therapy sessions! And his sessions were virtual! 2) A female stressed out entrepreneur realized that what was holding her back was something from her past. Once I showed her how to reframe and release that, her drum beats actually changed! They were much stronger and more challenging. She said: “So if you change your beat, you can change your life?” Exactly!

What motivates you in this industry every day?I’d have to say seeing the breakthroughs in such a short amount of time. One teen said that he experienced more improvements with me in just a few months than 10 years of therapy. Sweet kid with loads of potential!
