Rodney Pollak, Registered Music Therapist, POJ Integral Sound

Sound, grounded in science. Felt in the body.

Supporting people through transitions from stress to regulation, from activity to rest, and from overwhelm into clarity.

Three Practices, One Identity

One practitioner. Three ways in.

The same nervous system logic runs through every offering - whether that is a clinical music therapy session for a young NDIS participant, a sound journey for a retreat circle, or a corporate reset before a strategy offsite.

01 Clinical

Music Therapy

Registered. Evidence-based. NDIS.

Clinical, evidence-based support for mental health, neurodiversity and emotional regulation. Trauma-informed sessions for individuals, with experience across palliative, paediatric and community settings.

02 Experiential

Integral Sound

Sound journeys. Deep rest.

Sound-based sessions that use tuned instruments, guided awareness and somatic grounding to move the body from activation into deep rest. One-to-one, small groups, and collaborative workshops.

03 Corporate

Corporate Wellbeing

Focus. Recovery. Retainer.

Nervous system regulation for high-performing teams. Scheduled resets before strategy offsites, during conferences, and inside workplaces - framed around focus, recovery and preventative health.

The Approach

Sound as medicine. Presence as practice.

The brand sits deliberately in the clinical-but-warm middle ground. Evidence-based enough for healthcare referrers. Accessible enough for experiential audiences. Human enough for corporate teams.

  • Clinically groundedMasters of Music Therapy, AMTA registered since 2017, and an NDIS registered provider operating across hospitals, community and private practice.
  • Trauma-informedSessions pace to the nervous system in front of them. No fixed script. Consent, co-regulation and choice are built into every encounter.
  • Cross-disciplinarySeven-plus years spanning palliative care, paediatrics, mental health, disability, aged care, festivals, retreats and workplaces.
  • Non-performativeReal connection over polish. No mystical language. Nothing is asked of you but your presence.

Brand Principles

Six words to hold the whole thing together.

These principles run from the clinic to the corporate boardroom. They are how this work gets delivered, no matter the room.

01

Grounded

Anchored in evidence

Every offering is traceable back to clinical research, professional standards and lived nervous system outcomes.

02

Warm

Human-centred, never cold

Clinical does not mean clinical in tone. Care is felt in the body before it is ever explained in words.

03

Credible

Registered and regulated

NDIS approved, AMTA registered, ABN 96754692317. Credentials are not decoration, they are the floor.

04

Sensory

Sound as felt experience

The body feels before the mind understands. Sessions are designed for sensation, resonance and shift.

05

Human

Real over polished

This brand does not perform wellness. It shows up, attends, and makes room for whatever walks in.

06

Steady

Non-performative presence

No gurus. No theatre. Just a seven-year practitioner, a tuned bowl, and a nervous system that knows how to settle.

Who this is for

The body already knows how to rest.

Sometimes it just needs permission, a tuned room, and a practitioner who can hold the space long enough to let something settle.

Stress, overwhelm or burnout

Individuals in chronic activation needing a reliable way down from fight-or-flight.

Emotional regulation support

Young people, adults and carers developing new nervous system skills through sound and music.

Neurodivergent individuals

Autism and ADHD supports using non-verbal, sensory pathways for self-expression and safety.

Life transitions

Grief, illness, significant change - moments when music can say what words cannot.

Non-verbal therapeutic approaches

Clients whose healing does not unlock through conversation alone.

Teams & organisations

Corporate groups, healthcare staff and leaders looking for a preventative wellbeing practice that lands.

What a session looks like

Fifty to sixty minutes. Instruments are present but nothing is required of you. Sessions move between playing, listening, breathing, and stillness. Pace follows the nervous system in the room, not a script.
